  5. 1 The #GuildFestivalTheatre calls the Greek amphitheatre it performs at the “loveliest #theatre in the #GTA,” or words to that effect, and they might be right. They are currently putting on an adaptation of #NorthangerAbbey by #JaneAusten that manages to be very funny, yet true to the spirit … 🧵

    #Quote: "No one who had ever seen Catherine Morland in her infancy would have supposed her born to be an heroine. Her situation in life, the character of her father and mother, her own person and disposition, were all equally against her. Her father was a clergyman, without being neglected, or poor, and a very respectable man, though his name was Richard—and he had never been handsome. He had a considerable independence besides two good livings—and he was not in the least addicted to locking up his daughters. Her mother was a woman of useful plain sense, with a good temper, and, what is more remarkable, with a good constitution. She had three sons before Catherine was born; and instead of dying in bringing the latter into the world, as anybody might expect, she still lived on—lived to have six children more—to see them growing up around her, and to enjoy excellent health herself. A family of ten children will be always called a fine family, where there are heads and arms and legs enough for the number..."

  21. I simply LOVED this takedown of a very anodyne word in #NorthangerAbbey but it would have been nice if she'd gone all the way back to its earliest English meaning. 😀

    "it is a very nice word indeed!—it does for every thing. Originally perhaps it was applied only to express neatness, propriety, delicacy, or refinement;.... But now every commendation on every subject is comprised in that one word.”" #JaneAusten #bookstodon @bookstodon
