I love the last sentence of this bit from chapter 25 of Northanger Abbey, where Catherine is speaking to Henry and Eleanor Tilney (emphasis mine):

“I do not believe Isabella has any fortune at all: but that will not signify in your family. Your father is so very liberal! He told me the other day that he only valued money as it allowed him to promote the happiness of his children.” The brother and sister looked at each other.

I love that Henry starts falling for Catherine because her genuine and unconcealed interest in him spurred his in her, and not only because it is a situation more close to reality, but also because it brings to my mind this little sentence from a verse in the Divine Comedy:
“Amor, ch'a nullo amato amar perdona”
Due to the complexity of the original text we have more interpretations for it, but one of the most commonly taught and my personal favorite can be translated in English as, “Love does not spare anyone that is loved from loving back”, and I think it fits them quite nicely.

Title: Catherine Morland gets distracted. Catherine, Isabella and John are standing in front of some fancy Regency-era wallpaper. Isabella says to Catherine, “My beloved creature, what do you mean you cannot go?” Catherine replies, “Miss Tilney and her brother are expecting me.” She is looking anxiously away from Isabella. Isabella comes around to put her arm around Catherine. “You wouldn’t want to miss a visit to this castle, my saucy little tartine,” she says. Catherine replies, “I’m sure it’s lovely but I really cannot—“ Isabella’s face gets really close to Catherine’s as she interrupts, “It’s got long, damp passages, tight, narrow cells…” John is also leaning in close and adds, “Dozens of towers…”

Catherine’s eyes narrow. “How big are the towers?” she demands. John pulls a hot pink magazine out of his jacket that is titled “SEXXXY CASTLES.” “Check it out,” he says. Catherine’s face is red as she opens a full-page spread of a castle. “Oh my,” she says.

My preferred ending for Northanger Abbey: Catherine Morland marries Northanger Abbey. Henry Tilney officiates.

“I am delighted with the book! I should like to spend my whole life in reading it. I assure you, if it had not been to meet you, I would not have come away from it for all the world.”
