2 I have myself told him that Miss Thorpe is engaged.
3 The Tilneys were soon engaged in another on which she had nothing to say.
4 He must have thought it very odd to hear me say I was engaged the other evening, when he saw me sitting down.
5 Isabella now entered the room with so eager a step, and a look of such happy importance, as engaged all her friend's notice.
6 The engagement which ought to have kept her from joining in the former attempt would make it impossible for her to accompany them now.
7 She could not think the Tilneys had acted quite well by her, in so readily giving up their engagement, without sending her any message of excuse.
8 Told her you had sent me to say that, having just recollected a prior engagement of going to Clifton with us tomorrow, you could not have the pleasure of walking with her till Tuesday.
9 She was separated from all her party, and away from all her acquaintance; one mortification succeeded another, and from the whole she deduced this useful lesson, that to go previously engaged to a ball does not necessarily increase either the dignity or enjoyment of a young lady.
10 Catherine was not so much engaged at the theatre that evening, in returning the nods and smiles of Miss Thorpe, though they certainly claimed much of her leisure, as to forget to look with an inquiring eye for Mr. Tilney in every box which her eye could reach; but she looked in vain.
11 She had then been exulting in her engagement to Thorpe, and was now chiefly anxious to avoid his sight, lest he should engage her again; for though she could not, dared not expect that Mr. Tilney should ask her a third time to dance, her wishes, hopes, and plans all centred in nothing less.
