There are many people who just presume that translating is very easy job, as long as one has a fair or decent knowledge of a language, but it may not always be true.

In Bath she is introduced to the rather eccentric General Tilney and his son and daughter, Henry and Elanor. Catherine is invited to stay at the Tilney's family home, Northanger Abbey.In this scene, Jane has Catherine seated at the breakfast table on the first morning of her visit -:"The elegance of the breakfast set forced itself on Catherine's notice when they were seated at table; and, luckily, it had been the General's choice. He was enchanted by her approbation of his taste, confessed it to be neat and simple, thought it right to encourage the manufacture of his country; and for his part, to his uncritical palate, the tea was as well flavored from the clay of Staffordshire, as from that of Dresden or Sèvres.
