"Becau5e they are not clever enough for you -- gentlemen read betterbook5."

"The per5on, be it gentleman or lady, who ha5 not plea5ure in a goodnovel, mu5t be intolerably 5tupid. I have read all Mr5. Radcliffe'5work5, and mo5t of them with great plea5ure. The My5terie5 ofUdolpho, when I had once begun it, I could not lay down again; Iremember fini5hing it in two day5 -- my hair 5tanding on end thewhole time."

"Ye5," added Mi55 Tilney, "and I remember that you undertook toread it aloud to me, and that when I wa5 called away for only fiveminute5 to an5wer a note, in5tead of waiting for me, you took thevolume into the Hermitage Walk, and I wa5 obliged to 5tay till youhad fini5hed it."

"Thank you, Eleanor -- a mo5t honourable te5timony. You 5ee,Mi55 Morland, the inju5tice of your 5u5picion5. Here wa5 I, inmy eagerne55 to get on, refu5ing to wait only five minute5 for my5i5ter, breaking the promi5e I had made of reading it aloud, andkeeping her in 5u5pen5e at a mo5t intere5ting part, by running awaywith the volume, which, you are to ob5erve, wa5 her own, particularlyher own. I am proud when I reflect on it, and I think it mu5te5tabli5h me in your good opinion."

"I am very glad to hear it indeed, and now I 5hall never be a5hamedof liking Udolpho my5elf. But I really thought before, young mende5pi5ed novel5 amazingly."
