Northanger Abbey quotes

  • Mrs. Allen: There! Did you ever see anything prettier, Mr Allen?

    Mr. Allen: Other than yourself, do you mean, my dear?

    Mrs. Allen: Oh, fine, Mr Allen! But Catherine...

    Mr. Allen: Ah, she looks just as she should! Now... might we make our way, do you think? I entertain high hopes of our arriving at the rooms by midnight.

    Mrs. Allen: How he teases us, Catherine! Midnight, indeed!

  • [Riding in the curricle, Henry and Catherine see the first view of Northanger Abbey]

    Henry Tilney: There.

    Catherine Morland: It's exactly as I imagined. It's just like what we read about.

    Henry Tilney: Are you prepared to encounter all of its horrors?

    Catherine Morland: Horrors? Is Northanger haunted, then?

    Henry Tilney: That's just the least of it. Dungeons, and sliding panels; skeletons; strange, unearthly cries in the night that pierce your very soul!

    Catherine Morland: [sardonically] Any vampires? Don't say vampires. I could bear anything, but not vampires.

    Henry Tilney: [laughing] Miss Morland, I believe you are teasing me now.

    [seriously]

    Henry Tilney: I have to say, there is a kind of vampirism. No, let's just say that all houses have their secrets, and Northanger is no exception.
