1 That gentleman knows your name, and you have a right to know his.
2 Catherine blushed and disclaimed, and the gentleman's predictions were verified.
3 The person, be it gentleman or lady, who has not pleasure in a good novel, must be intolerably stupid.
4 Of her dear Isabella, to whom she particularly longed to point out that gentleman, she could see nothing.
5 She was followed by a gentleman, whom Catherine believed to be her father, and they turned up towards Edgar's Buildings.
6 Her partner now drew near, and said, "That gentleman would have put me out of patience, had he stayed with you half a minute longer."
7 But while she did so, the gentleman retreated, and her partner, coming nearer, said, "I see that you guess what I have just been asked."
8 Moreover, I have too good an opinion of Miss Thorpe's prudence to suppose that she would part with one gentleman before the other was secured.
9 Her partiality for this gentleman was not of recent origin; and he had been long withheld only by inferiority of situation from addressing her.
10 It is very true, upon my honour, but I see how it is; you are indifferent to everybody's admiration, except that of one gentleman, who shall be nameless.
11 Soon after their reaching the bottom of the set, Catherine perceived herself to be earnestly regarded by a gentleman who stood among the lookers-on, immediately behind her partner.
12 From such a moralizing strain as this, she was suddenly roused by a touch on the shoulder, and turning round, perceived Mrs. Hughes directly behind her, attended by Miss Tilney and a gentleman.
13 At last, however, the door was closed upon the three females, and they set off at the sober pace in which the handsome, highly fed four horses of a gentleman usually perform a journey of thirty miles: such was the distance of Northanger from Bath, to be now divided into two equal stages.
14 He was a stout young man of middling height, who, with a plain face and ungraceful form, seemed fearful of being too handsome unless he wore the dress of a groom, and too much like a gentleman unless he were easy where he ought to be civil, and impudent where he might be allowed to be easy.
15 After some time they received an offer of tea from one of their neighbours; it was thankfully accepted, and this introduced a light conversation with the gentleman who offered it, which was the only time that anybody spoke to them during the evening, till they were discovered and joined by Mr. Allen when the dance was over.
16 Catherine walked on to her chamber, making up her mind as well as she could, to a further acquaintance with Captain Tilney, and comforting herself under the unpleasant impression his conduct had given her, and the persuasion of his being by far too fine a gentleman to approve of her, that at least they should not meet under such circumstances as would make their meeting materially painful.
