  • He visits Bath when Catherine Morland is staying there with the Allens. He establishes himself quickly as a flirt. When Isabella Thorpe becomes engaged to James Morland, Tilney continues to flirt with her, finding it fun to put a wedge between James and Isabella's relationship. His younger brother, Henry Tilney, even tells Frederick of their engagement, but Captain Tilney clearly does not care. He does not return with the rest of his family when they all go to Northanger Abbey with Catherine. Instead he remains in Bath, and flirts even more with Isabella. The young lady has already realized that James Morland is nowhere near as rich as she would like a husband to be, so she flirts with Frederick constantly, hoping to snatch the young captain's affections. She breaks the engagement with James, prompting her ex-fiancé to send a heartbroken letter to Catherine to let her know of what has occurred. After some weeks, Isabella realizes that Frederick will not be snatched, as he is far too fickle and crafty for that.
