1 There is but one thing that I cannot understand.
2 It is one of the finest old places in England, I understand.
3 If able to suggest a hint, Isabella could never understand it.
4 Catherine was probably the only one of the party who did not understand him.
5 Miss Morland, no one can think more highly of the understanding of women than I do.
6 Consult your own understanding, your own sense of the probable, your own observation of what is passing around you.
7 The little which she could understand, however, appeared to contradict the very few notions she had entertained on the matter before.
8 I cannot understand even now what she would be at, for there could be no need of my being played off to make her secure of Tilney.

15 Catherine did not hear enough of this speech to understand or be pained by it; and other subjects being studiously brought forward and supported by Henry, at the same time that a tray full of refreshments was introduced by his servant, the general was shortly restored to his complacency, and Catherine to all her usual ease of spirits.
16 Miss Tilney, understanding in part her friend's curiosity to see the house, soon revived the subject; and her father being, contrary to Catherine's expectations, unprovided with any pretence for further delay, beyond that of stopping five minutes to order refreshments to be in the room by their return, was at last ready to escort them.
