chapter one
Our Heroine Goes to Bath

C atherine Morland was not a special child. She was

good and kind, but she learned things slowly. She
did not do well at writing or French, and she stopped
learning music after only a year. At first, she was a
funny-looking child too, but at fifteen, she began to
change. And after that, her mother often said to her
father, Catherine looks very nice these days. Sometimes
I even think that she looks pretty!
When she was fifteen, Catherine also began to read
books. She did not read books that told her useful
things about the world she read novels about young
women who found mystery, adventure, and love in their
lives. The stories of these heroines put many ideas in
Catherines head. She wanted to be the heroine of an
adventure too but there were no great adventures for
young Catherine in her home village of Fullerton.
Then one day, when Catherine was seventeen, some
friends of the Morlands decided to go and stay in Bath
for a while. The friends, Mr and Mrs Allen, who also
lived in Fullerton, asked Catherine to go with them. Mr
and Mrs Morland agreed, and Catherine was delighted.
Our heroine needed an adventure and here it was.
***
For the first few days in Bath, Catherine and Mrs Allen

went to the shops, looked around the town, and walked

up and down the pump room, a large building which
was the meeting place for all the towns most important
visitors. The two ladies looked at everybody and spoke
to no one.
I would like so much to know somebody, Mrs Allen
said again and again, and Catherine agreed.

I would like so much to know somebody, Mrs Allen said

again and again.

 Our Heroine Goes to Bath 3

On their fourth day, Catherine and the Allens went

to a dance, and there our heroine had better luck. A
young gentleman called Mr Henry Tilney asked her to
dance. He was about twenty-four, and he was tall with a
pleasant face and bright eyes. Catherine and Mr Tilney
could not speak much while they were dancing, but after
the first dance, there was tea, and they sat down to talk.
Catherine liked Mr Tilney very much. He was a
clergyman, like her father. He was funny and interesting,
and he talked first about the room and the dancing and
the tea, and then said, But I have forgotten my manners!
I have not asked you yet about your time in Bath, and
that is how all gentlemen here begin their conversations.
He made a funnily polite face and said in a soft voice,
hiding a smile, Have you been in Bath long, madam?
Catherine tried not to laugh. About a week, sir.
And do you like Bath, madam?
Yes, I like it very much, said Catherine.
There. Now we can talk about interesting things
again, laughed Mr Tilney. I know what you will write
in your diary tomorrow.
My diary? said Catherine.
Yes, you will write: On Friday, I went to the dance.
Wore my blue dress and looked very pretty, but had to
dance with a very strange man and listen to his silly
talk.
I shall write nothing like that, said Catherine.

 4 Northanger Abbey

I know what I would like you to write. Shall I tell

you? asked Mr Tilney.
Please do, she said.
I danced with a pleasant young man. He really is very
clever. I would like to meet him again.
They danced again, and when the evening came to
an end, Catherine knew that Mr Tilney was right: she
would very much like to see him again soon.

They danced again, and Catherine knew that she would

very much like to see Mr Tilney again soon.

chapter two
The Thorpes

C atherine hurried to the pump room early the next

day. She wanted to see Mr Tilney again, and she
and Mrs Allen walked up and down all morning while
people came in and out. But there was no Mr Tilney.
Bath is very pleasant, said Mrs Allen, but I would
like so much to know somebody.
How delightful it was, then, when a lady came up to
her and said, very surprised, I have not seen you for
many years, but isnt it Mrs Allen?
When the lady gave her name Thorpe Mrs Allen
remembered her as an old school friend, and was
delighted to see her. They looked so well, each lady told
the other. How lucky, they both said, to meet like this in
Bath! They then talked and talked about their news. But
neither of them heard very much of what the other was
saying: they both preferred giving news, not getting it.
Here are my daughters, cried Mrs Thorpe, when
three young women came near. They will be delighted
to meet you, Mrs Allen. The tallest is Isabella, my oldest.
Isnt she a pretty young thing? People admire the others
too, but I think that Isabella is the most beautiful.
Mrs Thorpe introduced her daughters, and Mrs Allen
then remembered Catherine and introduced her, too.
The Thorpes asked Catherine some questions about

OBW2 Northanger Abbey SO.indb 5 26/04/2017 15:32

 6 Northanger Abbey

her home and family, and Mrs Thorpe then said, Miss
Morland, are you the sister of Mr James Morland?
Yes, I am, said Catherine, surprised.
My son, John, is a student at Oxford with him, Mrs
Thorpe said. James came to stay with us in the holidays.
There was great surprise all round; and Isabella, the
oldest Thorpe girl, took Catherines arm and said that
because their brothers were friends, they were friends,
too. They then walked around the pump room, talking.
Isabella was four years older than Catherine, and she
knew a lot about the dances and meeting places of Bath.
She could say at once which of the dresses in the pump
room that day was fashionable, and she could see just
from a smile when a gentleman was interested in a young
lady. Catherine was delighted with her new friend.
After that, Mrs Thorpe and Mrs Allen were together
every day, and Catherine and Isabella were, too. The two
friends walked together and went to dances together,
and because Isabella, like Catherine, loved novels about
mystery and romance, they read together when it
was raining. Catherine was reading The Mysteries of
Udolpho, and she and Isabella talked about it every day.
Catherine still looked for Mr Tilney everywhere, but
he was never in the pump room or at dances. When she
told Isabella about him, her friend said, Perhaps he has
left Bath for a few days. But he will hurry back soon to
see you, I am sure. And then I must meet him.

Catherine was delighted with her new friend.

 8 Northanger Abbey

One morning, Isabella asked Catherine to come to the

Thorpes rooms to see her new hat. They were waiting
to cross the street when a small carriage came very fast
along the road. Isabella cried, Its my brother and
your brother James, too!

Its my brother and your brother James, too!

OBW2 Northanger Abbey SO.indb 8 26/04/2017 15:32

 The Thorpes 9

The carriage quickly stopped, and the two men got

out. Catherine loved her brother, and was very happy to
see him. Perhaps because she was thinking only of this,
she did not see the colour in his face when he looked at
Isabellas pretty face and said Good morning to her.
John Thorpe, Isabellas brother, hurried around the
carriage, told his servant what to do with his horse, and
then came to meet the two young ladies. He was a heavy
young man with an uninteresting face. He asked where
Isabella and Catherine were going, and he and James
decided to walk with them to the Thorpes rooms.
Isabella and James walked in front, talking delightedly,
and Catherine came behind with John Thorpe. He
talked about his carriage and his horse: how much the
carriage cost him and how fast the horse could go.
All his conversation, or talk (because it was not really
conversation), began and ended with himself.
Do you like open carriages, Miss Morland? he asked.
Yes, very much, she replied.
Then I will drive you out in my carriage every day,
John Thorpe said. I will drive you up Lansdown Hill
tomorrow.
Thank you, said Catherine, but wont your horse
want a rest?
Rest? No, no, a horse like that doesnt need rest!
John Thorpe did not have much to say after that, so
Catherine asked, Have you ever read The Mysteries of

OBW2 Northanger Abbey SO.indb 9 26/04/2017 15:32

 10 Northanger Abbey

Udolpho, Mr Thorpe?
Oh no, I never read novels, he said. They are the
stupidest things in the world. But I would like to read
Mrs Radcliffes novels, because they are funny.
Catherine said quietly, The Mysteries of Udolpho is
by Mrs Radcliffe.
Is it? said John Thorpe. Oh yes, I remember now. I
was thinking of another stupid book.
Catherine did not like John Thorpes manners. But
he was Isabellas brother and Jamess friend, and at
the Thorpes rooms, later, Isabella said to Catherine,
John thinks that you are the sweetest girl in the world.
So when John Thorpe said to Catherine, Isabella is
dancing with James this evening. Would you dance with
me?, Catherine said yes.

Catherine did not like John Thorpes manners.

 IDEAS IN THIS STORY 55

Gothic novels
When Jane Austen wrote Northanger Abbey, Gothic novels
were very popular in England. These were love stories about
danger and mystery. Many people did not think that they
were real or important books but in Northanger Abbey,
Catherine loves these stories, and sometimes tries to live her
life like a heroine in a Gothic novel. She falls in love with
Henry Tilney, and when she goes to Northanger Abbey, she
starts to think that there is a real mysterythere.

Youth
Northanger Abbey tells the story of a young girl who is
changing into an adult, and learning from her mistakes.
Catherine is excited when she arrives in Bath, and wants to
make friends. She likes to think the best of everyone. At first,
she thinks that Isabella is a real friend, who is more interested
in love than money. But Henry Tilney is older than her, and
with his help, she begins to see things in a more adultway.
Catherine makes mistakes at Northanger Abbey too, when,
because of her love of gothic novels, she begins to think that
General Tilney has done something terrible to his wife. Again,
she has to learn a few lessons. But Catherine begins to change,
and soon, we see, she is beginning to understand the world
aroundher.

 ABOUT THE AUTHOR 67

Jane Austen was born in

Hampshire, in the south of
England, in 1775. Her father
was a clergyman, and she had
six brothers and one sister. She
began to write when she was
only fourteen years old, and
she started working on some of
her most famous novels when
she was in her early twenties. In
her life, she wrote six important
novels: Sense and Sensibility,
Pride and Prejudice, Mansfield Park, Emma, Northanger
Abbey, and Persuasion. She wrote about what she knew best
the everyday life of family, friends, dances, visits, and romance.
But for Jane Austen, the way some people lived and thought at
that time was stupid and wrong. She showed this in her books
using wit (a way of being funny in a very clever way) and irony
(describing things in one way and then showing that they are
really very different).
Jane Austen mostly lived a quiet life at home, but she
sometimes visited London, Bath, Lyme (by the sea), and her
brothers houses. She never married, but she had a loving family
and she was a great favourite with her brothers children. She
died in Winchester when she was only forty-two years old.
Northanger Abbey was Jane Austens first novel, and she
called her heroine Susan at first, and gave the book that name.
But she later made changes to the novel, gave Susan a new name
Catherine and called the book Northanger Abbey. It was
published in 1817, after her death.

The Prince and the Pauper

LEVEL 2
Mark Twain
Retold by Alex Raynham

It is 1547 in London, and Tom is a pauper.

His father sends him onto the streets of
London to beg for money every day, and
hits him when he brings nothing back.
But Edward is a prince, the son of King Henry VIII, and he has
everything. There is something very unusual about these boys:
they are from different worlds, but they look the same. When
they meet one day, a mistake puts each boy into the wrong life.
So what happens when a prince lives as a pauper, and a pauper
lives as a king?
