1Later in the morning, and just as the girls were going to separate in preparation for the regular four o'clock dinner,
2the hero of this inimitable charade walked in again. Harriet turned away; but Emma could receive him with the usual
3smile, and her quick eye soon discerned in his the consciousness of having made a push--of having thrown a die; and she
4imagined he was come to see how it might turn up. His ostensible reason, however, was to ask whether Mr. Woodhouse's
5party could be made up in the evening without him, or whether he should be in the smallest degree necessary at
6Hartfield. If he were, every thing else must give way; but otherwise his friend Cole had been saying so much about his
7dining with him--had made such a point of it, that he had promised him conditionally to come. Emma thanked him, but
8could not allow of his disappointing his friend on their account; her father was sure of his rubber. He re-urged--she
9re-declined; and he seemed then about to make his bow, when taking the paper from the table, she returned it-- "Oh! here
10is the charade you were so obliging as to leave with us; thank you for the sight of it. We admired it so much, that I
11have ventured to write it into Miss Smith's collection. Your friend will not take it amiss I hope. Of course I have not
12transcribed beyond the first eight lines." Mr. Elton certainly did not very well know what to say. He looked rather
13doubtingly--rather confused; said something about "honour,"--glanced at Emma and at Harriet, and then seeing the book
14open on the table, took it up, and examined it very attentively. With the view of passing off an awkward moment, Emma
15smilingly said, "You must make my apologies to your friend; but so good a charade must not be confined to one or two. He
16may be sure of every woman's approbation while he writes with such gallantry." "I have no hesitation in saying," replied
17Mr. Elton, though hesitating a good deal while he spoke; "I have no hesitation in saying--at least if my friend feels at
18all as I do--I have not the smallest doubt that, could he see his little effusion honoured as I see it, (looking at the
19book again, and replacing it on the table), he would consider it as the proudest moment of his life." After this speech
20he was gone as soon as possible. Emma could not think it too soon; for with all his good and agreeable qualities, there
21was a sort of parade in his speeches which was very apt to incline her to laugh. She ran away to indulge the
22inclination, leaving the tender and the sublime of pleasure to Harriet's share.
