The Voice of Jane Austen:
No-one who had ever seen Catherine Morland in her infancy would have supposed her born to be a great heroine. Her situation in life, the character of her father and moth, and her own disposition, were equally against her. The Morlands were, in general, very plain, and Catherine, for many years of her life, as plain as any. Neither was it very wonderful that Catherine, who had, by nature, nothing heroic about her, should prefer cricket and baseball to dolls and books. But by the age of 15, appearances were mending. Catherine Morland was in training for a heroine

would have supposed her born to be a heroine
00:00:08.012 --> 00:00:10.012
Her situation in life
00:00:10.028 --> 00:00:12.012
the character of her father and mother
00:00:12.028 --> 00:00:14.072

00:00:14.088 --> 00:00:16.006
were all equally against her
00:00:18.002 --> 00:00:20.012
A family of ten children of course
00:00:20.028 --> 00:00:22.008
