You're gonna be bothered by how cool I am.

I just read their walk this afternoon, after I posted today's entry. I want to marry Henry as well. And I uttered several indignant "oh!"s at Isabella and John, insisting on having their way and dictating how Catherine is to spend every moment of her visit. I wanted to hit John for lying to Miss Tilney about Catherine having sent him to break their engagement.

I love Tom Jones and The Monk, though. The professor of that 18th Cent. British Novel course for which I read them both (and Emma) said he was convinced that Jane Austen was the illegitimate daughter of Henry Fielding, because their style and sense of humor are so similar, though he gave Austen credit for being much more subtle.
