Well, John Thorpe does know the General... Written by Line (3/21/2009 10:25 a.m.) in consequence of the missive, Who really won the alleged game of billiards, anyway?, penned by Tom P2

...well enough to at least speak to him (not always obvious in JA's time, IMO) and to discuss Catherine with him, so I think JT must have done more than just observe the General from a distance at the Bedford. On the other hand, that doesn't mean his account of that billiard game is any more accurate than you suspect! ;-)

Some thoughts on General Tilney MarianneR (3/18/2009 7:28 a.m.)

The General's duplicitousness... again JoAnn (3/20/2009 2:21 a.m.)
- Why call him a villain? Tom P2 (3/20/2009 3:09 a.m.)
  - I suppose so JoAnn (3/20/2009 10:06 a.m.)
General T is a "man's man" Karen G (3/19/2009 4:36 p.m.)
- I got the opposite impression about the library. nan duval (3/19/2009 5:50 p.m.)
  - Right, the General is unable to appreciate what he has TimLee (3/19/2009 6:03 p.m.)
    - Not necessarily Tom P2 (3/19/2009 7:24 p.m.)
      - This is how I read this, too. MarianneR (3/20/2009 4:12 a.m.)

        I totally agree.   nan duval (3/21/2009 10:12 p.m.)
        
        Agreed, Diane certainly said it better than I also (nfm)   TimLee (3/22/2009 12:18 a.m.)
        
        Thanks, that was interesting and insightful   TimLee (3/21/2009 9:22 p.m.)
      - The General may be prideful, but ... TimLee (3/19/2009 7:44 p.m.)
        
        irony? Karen G. (3/19/2009 8:38 p.m.)

      - Who really won the alleged game of billiards, anyway?   Tom P2 (3/20/2009 7:42 p.m.)
        
        I see your point about Bedford...   Diane N. (3/21/2009 2:14 p.m.)
        
        Well, John Thorpe does know the General...   Line (3/21/2009 10:25 a.m.)
        
        The Bloviator vs. The Dementor!   TimLee (3/20/2009 8:03 p.m.)
