Read this extract, and then answer the question that follows it: They made their appearance in the Lower Rooms; and here fortune was more favourable to our heroine. The master of the ceremonies introduced to her a very gentlemanlike young man as a partner;-his name was Tilney. He seemed to be about four or five and twenty, was rather tall, had a pleasing countenance, a very intelligent and lively eye, and, if not quite handsome, was very near it. His address was good, and Catherine felt herself in high luck. There was little leisure for speaking while they danced; but when they were seated at tea, she found him as agreeable as she had already given him credit for being. He talked with fluency and spirit-and there was an archness and pleasantry in his manner which interested, though it was hardly understood by her. After chatting some time on such matters as naturally arose from the objects around them, he suddenly addressed her with-‘I have hitherto been very remiss, madam, in the proper attentions of a partner here; I have not yet asked you how long you have been in Bath; whether you were ever here before; whether you have been at the Upper Rooms, the theatre, and the concert; and how you like the place altogether. I have been very negligent-but are you now at leisure to satisfy me in these particulars? If you are I will begin directly.' 'You need not give yourself that trouble, sir.' 'No trouble I assure you, madam.” Then forming his features into a set smile, and affectedly softening his voice, he added, with a simpering air, 'Have you been long in Bath, madam?' 'About a week, sir,' replied Catherine, trying not to laugh. 'Really!' with affected astonishment. 'Why should you be surprized, sir?' 'Why, indeed!' said he, in his natural tone-'but some emotion must appear to be raised by your reply, and surprize is more easily assumed, and not less reasonable than any other. -Now let us go on. Were you never here before, madam?' 'Never, sir.' 'Indeed! Have you yet honoured the Upper Rooms?' 'Yes, sir, I was there last Monday.' 'Have you been to the theatre?' 'Yes, sir, I was at the play on Tuesday.' 'To the concert?' 'Yes, sir, on Wednesday.' 'And are you altogether pleased with Bath?' 'Yes-I like it very well.' 'Now I must give one smirk, and then we may be rational again.' Catherine turned away her head, not knowing whether she might venture to laugh. 'I see what you think of me,' said he gravely-‘I shall make but a poor figure in your journal to-morrow.' 'My journal!' 'Yes, I know exactly what you will say: Friday, went to the Lower Rooms; wore my sprigged muslin robe with blue trimmings-plain black shoes- appeared to much advantage; but was strangely harassed by a queer, half-witted man, who would make me dance with him, and distressed me by his nonsense.' 'Indeed I shall say no such thing.' 'Shall I tell you what you ought to say?' 'If you please.' 'I danced with a very agreeable young man, introduced by Mr. King; had a great deal of conversation with him-seems a most extraordinary genius-hope I may know more of him. That, madam, is what I wish you to say.' 'But, perhaps, I keep no journal.' 'Perhaps you are not sitting in this room, and I am not sitting by you. These are points in which a doubt is equally possible. Not keep a journal! ...' [from Chapter 3] How does Austen's writing make this such an entertaining introduction to Henry Tilney?
