Thanks, Mandy. One thing struck me.. Written by Reeba (4/13/2006 1:30 p.m.) in consequence of the missive, Thoughts on Eleanor's charecter. (longish), penned by MandyN

while reading your post;

[...prevented their doing more than going through the first rudiments of an acquaitance, by informing themselves how well the other liked Bath...'

Isn't this exactly what Henry was laughing at on his first meeting with Catherine at the lower rooms, when he simpers with affectation, and asks her those routine questions about Bath.

Here too their characters show a difference.
Henry instantly at ease and friendly while Eleanor has to go through the routine stuff to keep up conversation.
