I hope to get back to it really soon though! :)<br /><br />Mr. And Miss Tilney are just lovely! I so love how they've taken Catherine under their wings. True friends for sure! :) And down with the Thorpe's!!!<br /><br />#IHeartTilneyToo<br />#TilneyFanclubMemberKarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09590701834142754842noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5087298869735390985.post-45039131439840557252016-04-10T22:07:43.298-04:002016-04-10T22:07:43.298-04:00Yay for more discussion on Northanger Abbey! I so ...Yay for more discussion on <i>Northanger Abbey</i>! I so agree about Mr. and Miss Tilney being such dear friends and wonderful influences on Catherine. And I also completely agree about the Thorpes being shallow friends and terrible influences. :P Grrr!<br /><br />#IHeartTilney<br />#TilneyFansFTW<br /><br />So happy you're enjoying the story so far! :)<br /><br />~AmberAmber Holcombhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15100265646497152198noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5087298869735390985.post-69149151763037271372016-04-02T14:30:49.714-04:002016-04-02T14:30:49.714-04:00Jenni: Aw, thanks. :) YES.

But as Julie pointed out above, the Thorpe's have obviously got him duped.<br /><br />Mr. Tilney is certainly starting to rival Captain Wentworth for my favorite Austen hero! I didn't think anybody would be able to do that. :DKarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09590701834142754842noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5087298869735390985.post-28919835409281568552016-04-02T14:28:36.488-04:002016-04-02T14:28:36.488-04:00Julie: I like to analyze the details, especially a...Julie: I like to analyze the details, especially about the characters in a story, so I probably spent a great deal more time thinking about them than I needed to. But I'm glad I could help you like them a bit better! :)<br /><br />I think you may be right. He IS her brother, so if she's naive, it makes sense he would be too. The Thorpe's have definitely got him duped! :(<br /><br />I loved that little moment between Catherine and Henry!Karahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09590701834142754842noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5087298869735390985.post-76836383994301804512016-04-02T14:23:04.581-04:002016-04-02T14:23:04.581-04:00Jenny: Well, I DO like to analyze all the details,...Jenny: Well, I DO like to analyze all the details, so...

I wanted to punch him. <br /><br />I also heart Mr. Tilney.

I'm kind of wondering if Catherine's brother was just as naive as Catherine when it came to judging the character of people outside of their family. It seems that he too is duped by the Thorpes. Love your quote, I too picked the last part of it, but like that you added the context :) Juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07190011785450338206noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5087298869735390985.post-83339167007300831102016-03-28T12:25:43.196-04:002016-03-28T12:25:43.196-04:00I really don't remember this one having this m...I really don't remember this one having this much meat to it.
