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. Her mother was a woman of useful plain sense, with a good temper, and, what is more remarkable, with a good constitution. He had a considerable independence besides two good livings-and he was not in the least addicted to locking up his daughters. 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. Her situation in life, the character of her father and mother, her own person and disposition, were all equally against her. No one who had ever seen Catherine Morland in her infancy would have supposed her born to be an heroine.
