January 18 Prompt: Northanger Abbey, Catherine Morland/Henry Tilney, excellent taste in muslins and reading material.

After a month of marriage it must be confessed that any of Henry Tilney’s flaws previously hidden from his bride were laid bare. He was often untidy yet also quite fastidious, not overly eager to start a project and sometimes long in completing one, and while absence had made Catherine’s eager heart grow fonder still, even she was forced to admit that her husband only approached rather than embodied male beauty. Yet who could complain when he united an appreciation of her equally modest appearance and a willingness to adorn it with fashion both tasteful and frugal, which savings allowed for commensurate spending on a novel or two?
