That is really a profound observation, Caroline, and it speaks well of Henry Tilney. He's caring, considerate, gentle, genteel, intelligent, handsome -- why he has all the most desirable qualities. But, you're right, sometimes they may be only surface, unless examined. And, I'm sure putting up with a Newfooundler, would be an acid test. To me, he comes off as a real gentleman,
