The narrator dismisses this character to a “sleepless couch” and “a pillow strewed with thorns and wet with tears” after this character learns that a man had lied about a group “driving up the Lansdown Road.” This character’s description of a book as “nice” is playfully ridiculed by a man who says “And this is a very nice day, and we are taking a very nice walk, and you are two very nice young ladies.” The protagonist of The Female Quixote likely inspired this character, who is disappointed to find that a manuscript she discovers in a drawer is a mere inventory of household laundry. This character, who suspects that the father of a love interest has murdered his wife, bonds with Isabella Thorpe over their shared love of Gothic novels, including The Mysteries of Udolpho. For 10 points, name this protagonist of Northanger Abbey. ■END■
