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 respec-table man, though his
name was Richard - and he had never been handsome. He had a
considerable indepen-dence 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; but the Morlands had
little other right to the word, for they were in general very
plain, and Catherine, for many years of her life, as plain as any.
She had a thin awkward figure, a sallow skin without colour, dark
lank hair, and strong features - so much for her person; and not
less unpropitious for heroism seemed her mind.
