In chapter 11 Catherine is invited to visit Woodston, Henry's estate. The General, Isabella, and Catherine all ride out to make a day of it. "Henry, with the friends of his solitude, a large Newfoundland puppy and two or three terriers, was ready to receive them and make much of them. Catherine's mind was too full, as she entered the house, for her either to observe or to say a great deal" (Austen 177).
She had a beautiful time at Woodston and greatly enjoyed walking the grounds. "She was sufficiently recovered to think it prettier than any pleasure-ground she had ever been in before, though there was not a shrub in it higher than the green bench in the corner" (Austen 178).
She had such a grand experience, and she couldn't wait to return.
