And now I shall call it a night (or a morning), & hopefully without the sound of John Thorpe's odd noises echoing in my ears...

NA: "But Mr. Thorpe only laughed, smacked his whip, encouraged his horse, made odd noises, and drove on." [What sort of odd noises?]

NA: As Thorpe drives off with Catherine, she catches sight of Henry and Eleanor—who see her, too—and she tells Thorpe to stop the carriage!

NA: Catherine: "Nay, I am sure you cannot have a better; for if I do not know any body, it is impossible for me to talk to them…"

2:33 PM Nov 12th
