Capitulos 12-15


The next morning Catherine goes to the Tilneys to apologize and explain the events of the previous day. She is turned down by the front-door man, saying the young Miss Tilney isn’t at home. As Catherine is leaving, she sees Miss Tilney and the General hurrying into a carriage.



Mentira! Did she not want to see her? Is she offended? Does she not want to be friends anymore? Oh, the slippery slope!

Later that day at the teatro, Catherine sees Henry and she apologizes after the play. She then observes that General Tilney and John are talking (how mysterious!) and overhears that they call her the “finest girl in Bath”. Things seem to be turning up for our heroina after all.



John, Isabella, and James want to complete their journey to the castle but Catherine turns them down to go on a walk with the Tilneys. Talk about peer pressure! At first, Isabella praises Catherine but then starts to call her out for preferring Miss Tilney. What a way to manipular la situacion!




John then goes out, after noticing the Tilneys across the street, and without Catherine’s knowledge or consent informs them that Catherine decided to change her plans. Catherine is furious, so she runs to the Tilney’s house to set things straight. No-uh, she will not let John do her dirty like last time!
She’s introduced to General Tilney. Once she’s back with the Allens, Mr. Allen informs Catherine that it’s inappropriate for a young lady to ride in an open carriage with a man whom she isn’t related to. Catherine is just happy that she was able to get things cleared up and keep her promesa this time to the Tilney’s.




The next day Catherine takes a walk with the Tilney’s. Catherine asks Henry if he ever reads novelas. Henry la sorprende her by stating that he loves them. Not the stereotypical male that reads only history books, since novels are only for women, making Catherine swoon. Although Henry teases his sister and Catherine when they misunderstand each other, Miss Tilney assures Catherine that Henry has the highest opinion of women. On her way back, Catherine is informed that Isabella went along with James and John to the castle. El escandalo!



Isabella requests Catherine to pay her a visit through a note. As soon as Catherine arrives, Isabella reveals that she is engaged to James! The two are excited, even Isabella saying Catherie and her will be closer than her other siblings are to her. BFFs who will be sisters by marriage. James rushes home to talk about finances. John then approaches Catherine suggests they follow Isabella's and James' example and get married. Although Catherine denies his request, John is unable to take the hint and takes her answer as a “si”.
