1"He is very young to settle," was Mr. Woodhouse's observation. "He had better not be in a hurry. He seemed to me very
2well off as he was. We were always glad to see him at Hartfield." "A new neighbour for us all, Miss Woodhouse!" said
3Miss Bates, joyfully; "my mother is so pleased!--she says she cannot bear to have the poor old Vicarage without a
4mistress. This is great news, indeed. Jane, you have never seen Mr. Elton!--no wonder that you have such a curiosity to
5see him." Jane's curiosity did not appear of that absorbing nature as wholly to occupy her. "No--I have never seen Mr.
6Elton," she replied, starting on this appeal; "is he--is he a tall man?" "Who shall answer that question?" cried Emma.
7"My father would say 'yes,' Mr. Knightley 'no;' and Miss Bates and I that he is just the happy medium. When you have
8been here a little longer, Miss Fairfax, you will understand that Mr. Elton is the standard of perfection in Highbury,
9both in person and mind." "Very true, Miss Woodhouse, so she will. He is the very best young man--But, my dear Jane, if
10you remember, I told you yesterday he was precisely the height of Mr. Perry. Miss Hawkins,--I dare say, an excellent
11young woman. His extreme attention to my mother--wanting her to sit in the vicarage pew, that she might hear the better,
12for my mother is a little deaf, you know--it is not much, but she does not hear quite quick. Jane says that Colonel
13Campbell is a little deaf. He fancied bathing might be good for it--the warm bath--but she says it did him no lasting
14benefit. Colonel Campbell, you know, is quite our angel. And Mr. Dixon seems a very charming young man, quite worthy of
15him. It is such a happiness when good people get together--and they always do. Now, here will be Mr. Elton and Miss
16Hawkins; and there are the Coles, such very good people; and the Perrys--I suppose there never was a happier or a better
17couple than Mr. and Mrs. Perry. I say, sir," turning to Mr. Woodhouse, "I think there are few places with such society
18as Highbury. I always say, we are quite blessed in our neighbours.--My dear sir, if there is one thing my mother loves
19better than another, it is pork--a roast loin of pork--" "As to who, or what Miss Hawkins is, or how long he has been
20acquainted with her," said Emma, "nothing I suppose can be known. One feels that it cannot be a very long acquaintance.
21He has been gone only four weeks." Nobody had any information to give; and, after a few more wonderings, Emma said, "You
22are silent, Miss Fairfax--but I hope you mean to take an interest in this news. You, who have been hearing and seeing so
23much of late on these subjects, who must have been so deep in the business on Miss Campbell's account--we shall not
24excuse your being indifferent about Mr. Elton and Miss Hawkins." "When I have seen Mr. Elton," replied Jane, "I dare say
25I shall be interested--but I believe it requires that with me. And as it is some months since Miss Campbell married, the
26impression may be a little worn off." "Yes, he has been gone just four weeks, as you observe, Miss Woodhouse," said Miss
27Bates, "four weeks yesterday.--A Miss Hawkins!--Well, I had always rather fancied it would be some young lady
28hereabouts; not that I ever--Mrs. Cole once whispered to me--but I immediately said, 'No, Mr. Elton is a most worthy
29young man--but'--In short, I do not think I am particularly quick at those sort of discoveries. I do not pretend to it.
30What is before me, I see. At the same time, nobody could wonder if Mr. Elton should have aspired--Miss Woodhouse lets me
31chatter on, so good-humouredly. She knows I would not offend for the world. How does Miss Smith do? She seems quite
32recovered now. Have you heard from Mrs. John Knightley lately? Oh! those dear little children. Jane, do you know I
33always fancy Mr. Dixon like Mr. John Knightley. I mean in person--tall, and with that sort of look--and not very
34talkative." "Quite wrong, my dear aunt; there is no likeness at all." "Very odd! but one never does form a just idea of
35any body beforehand. One takes up a notion, and runs away with it. Mr. Dixon, you say, is not, strictly speaking,
36handsome?" "Handsome! Oh! no--far from it--certainly plain. I told you he was plain." "My dear, you said that Miss
37Campbell would not allow him to be plain, and that you yourself--" "Oh! as for me, my judgment is worth nothing. Where I
38have a regard, I always think a person well-looking. But I gave what I believed the general opinion, when I called him
39plain." "Well, my dear Jane, I believe we must be running away. The weather does not look well, and grandmama will be
40uneasy. You are too obliging, my dear Miss Woodhouse; but we really must take leave. This has been a most agreeable
41piece of news indeed. I shall just go round by Mrs. Cole's; but I shall not stop three minutes: and, Jane, you had
42better go home directly--I would not have you out in a shower!--We think she is the better for Highbury already. Thank
43you, we do indeed. I shall not attempt calling on Mrs. Goddard, for I really do not think she cares for any thing but
44boiled pork: when we dress the leg it will be another thing. Good morning to you, my dear sir. Oh! Mr. Knightley is
45coming too. Well, that is so very!--I am sure if Jane is tired, you will be so kind as to give her your arm.--Mr. Elton,
46and Miss Hawkins!--Good morning to you." Emma, alone with her father, had half her attention wanted by him while he
47lamented that young people would be in such a hurry to marry--and to marry strangers too--and the other half she could
48give to her own view of the subject. It was to herself an amusing and a very welcome piece of news, as proving that Mr.
49Elton could not have suffered long; but she was sorry for Harriet: Harriet must feel it--and all that she could hope
50was, by giving the first information herself, to save her from hearing it abruptly from others. It was now about the
51time that she was likely to call. If she were to meet Miss Bates in her way!--and upon its beginning to rain, Emma was
52obliged to expect that the weather would be detaining her at Mrs. Goddard's, and that the intelligence would undoubtedly
53rush upon her without preparation.
