In chapter fourteen lt. Henry's relationship with Mrs. Gage proves that Henry doesn't love Catherine, but is lustful for what she is capable of sexually, and nurturingly, and believes this to be love. Within the first paragraph Lt. Henry recalls looking at a woman , mrs. gage, and although he does claim that she is "not so pretty" by drawing his attention to her looks in the first place, involved with Catherine or not, one can note that he is on the prawl for something he does not recieve in his relationship wih Catherine. While peering into the conversational difference in the dialogue between Lt. Henry and mrs gage, and lt Henry and Catherine, another question of love surfaces because of the fact that within his conversation with mrs. Gage, lt. Henry adds to the small talk by asking questions and furthering the responses, while in his conversation with Catherine he does so at the beginning, but after he has received what he wanted from Catherine, sexual relief, he is complacent in his responses, saying things like "I will" and "we can at night" that don't call for anything in return from Catherine. This is not to say that he is in love with mrs. Gage, just that he is NOT in love with Catherine Barkley. To what extent does lt. Henry actually love Catherine?
