] From Chapter 30 of Northanger Abbey I quote...
] "...Though Henry was now sincerely attached to her - though he felt and delighted in all the excellencies of her character, and truly loved her society - I must confess that his affection originated in nothing better than gratitude; or, in other words, that a persuasion of her partiality for him had been the only cause of giving her a serious thought."



"It is a new circumstance in romance, I acknowledge, and dreadfully derogatory of an heroine's dignity; but if it be as new in common life, the credit of a wild imagination will at least be all my own."
