Catherine isn't being critical. It's just ... Written by Reeba (3/21/2009 4:38 p.m.) in consequence of the missive, I had never thought, penned by JoAnn

that the furnishing in the room were;

"lost on the unpractised eye of Catherine,"

and we are told later in CH 23 that;

"she cared for no furniture of a more modern date than the fifteenth century"
So she isn't interested rather then critical, and of course the General cannot know of Catherine's gothic tastes. ;-)
