Miss Smith is a character mentioned in Northanger Abbey. She danced with Henry Tilney while at an event in Bath. She was acquainted with Mrs. Hughes and that is how she met Mr. Tilney. Catherine Morland was briefly worried that Mr. Tilney had developed a tendre for Miss Smith during their short acquaintance. She asked Miss Tilney whether the young lady thought her brother's dancing partner was quite pretty, and Miss Tilney thought she was not very pretty while mollified Catherine to an extent.[1]
