Northanger Abbey

CHAPTER 26
4/10

I think I can answer for the young ladies making allowance for a bachelor's table.
Let me see; Monday will be a busy day with you, we will not come on Monday; and Tuesday will be a busy one with me.

I expect my surveyor from Brockham with his report in the morning; and afterwards I cannot in decency fail attending the club.

I really could not face my acquaintance if I stayed away now; for, as I am known to be in the country, it would be taken exceedingly amiss; and it is a rule with me, Miss Morland, never to give offence to any of my neighbours, if a small sacrifice of time and attention can prevent it.

They are a set of very worthy men.
They have half a buck from Northanger twice a year; and I dine with them whenever I can.

Tuesday, therefore, we may say is out of the question.
But on Wednesday, I think, Henry, you may expect us; and we shall be with you early, that we may have time to look about us.
