If adventure will not befall a young lady in her own village, she must seek it abroad...

Whenever I read this sentence from Northanger Abbey "If adventure will not befall a young lady in her own village, she must seek it abroad..."  I always think of Catherine hanging out of the window of a carriage with her bonnet's ribbons blowing in the breeze and excitement in her eyes.  If you look closely you will notice that the I of the "if" looks like a rock tower with a Gothic window.
This painting is an original 5x7 watercolor.
