1"No; he thought it very far from an improvement--a very bad plan--much worse than the other. A room at an inn was always
2damp and dangerous; never properly aired, or fit to be inhabited. If they must dance, they had better dance at Randalls.
3He had never been in the room at the Crown in his life--did not know the people who kept it by sight.--Oh! no--a very
4bad plan. They would catch worse colds at the Crown than anywhere." "I was going to observe, sir," said Frank Churchill,
5"that one of the great recommendations of this change would be the very little danger of any body's catching cold--so
6much less danger at the Crown than at Randalls! Mr. Perry might have reason to regret the alteration, but nobody else
7could." "Sir," said Mr. Woodhouse, rather warmly, "you are very much mistaken if you suppose Mr. Perry to be that sort
8of character. Mr. Perry is extremely concerned when any of us are ill. But I do not understand how the room at the Crown
9can be safer for you than your father's house." "From the very circumstance of its being larger, sir. We shall have no
10occasion to open the windows at all--not once the whole evening; and it is that dreadful habit of opening the windows,
11letting in cold air upon heated bodies, which (as you well know, sir) does the mischief." "Open the windows!--but
12surely, Mr. Churchill, nobody would think of opening the windows at Randalls. Nobody could be so imprudent! I never
13heard of such a thing. Dancing with open windows!--I am sure, neither your father nor Mrs. Weston (poor Miss Taylor that
14was) would suffer it." "Ah! sir--but a thoughtless young person will sometimes step behind a window-curtain, and throw
15up a sash, without its being suspected. I have often known it done myself." "Have you indeed, sir?--Bless me! I never
16could have supposed it. But I live out of the world, and am often astonished at what I hear. However, this does make a
17difference; and, perhaps, when we come to talk it over--but these sort of things require a good deal of consideration.
18One cannot resolve upon them in a hurry. If Mr. and Mrs. Weston will be so obliging as to call here one morning, we may
19talk it over, and see what can be done." "But, unfortunately, sir, my time is so limited--" "Oh!" interrupted Emma,
20"there will be plenty of time for talking every thing over. There is no hurry at all. If it can be contrived to be at
21the Crown, papa, it will be very convenient for the horses. They will be so near their own stable." "So they will, my
22dear. That is a great thing. Not that James ever complains; but it is right to spare our horses when we can. If I could
23be sure of the rooms being thoroughly aired--but is Mrs. Stokes to be trusted? I doubt it. I do not know her, even by
24sight." "I can answer for every thing of that nature, sir, because it will be under Mrs. Weston's care. Mrs. Weston
25undertakes to direct the whole." "There, papa!--Now you must be satisfied--Our own dear Mrs. Weston, who is carefulness
26itself. Do not you remember what Mr. Perry said, so many years ago, when I had the measles? 'If Miss Taylor undertakes
27to wrap Miss Emma up, you need not have any fears, sir.' How often have I heard you speak of it as such a compliment to
28her!" "Aye, very true. Mr. Perry did say so. I shall never forget it. Poor little Emma! You were very bad with the
29measles; that is, you would have been very bad, but for Perry's great attention. He came four times a day for a week. He
30said, from the first, it was a very good sort--which was our great comfort; but the measles are a dreadful complaint. I
31hope whenever poor Isabella's little ones have the measles, she will send for Perry." "My father and Mrs. Weston are at
32the Crown at this moment," said Frank Churchill, "examining the capabilities of the house. I left them there and came on
33to Hartfield, impatient for your opinion, and hoping you might be persuaded to join them and give your advice on the
34spot. I was desired to say so from both. It would be the greatest pleasure to them, if you could allow me to attend you
35there. They can do nothing satisfactorily without you." Emma was most happy to be called to such a council; and her
36father, engaging to think it all over while she was gone, the two young people set off together without delay for the
37Crown. There were Mr. and Mrs. Weston; delighted to see her and receive her approbation, very busy and very happy in
38their different way; she, in some little distress; and he, finding every thing perfect. "Emma," said she, "this paper is
39worse than I expected. Look! in places you see it is dreadfully dirty; and the wainscot is more yellow and forlorn than
40any thing I could have imagined." "My dear, you are too particular," said her husband. "What does all that signify? You
41will see nothing of it by candlelight. It will be as clean as Randalls by candlelight. We never see any thing of it on
42our club-nights." The ladies here probably exchanged looks which meant, "Men never know when things are dirty or not;"
43and the gentlemen perhaps thought each to himself, "Women will have their little nonsenses and needless cares." One
44perplexity, however, arose, which the gentlemen did not disdain. It regarded a supper-room. At the time of the
45ballroom's being built, suppers had not been in question; and a small card-room adjoining, was the only addition. What
46was to be done? This card-room would be wanted as a card-room now; or, if cards were conveniently voted unnecessary by
47their four selves, still was it not too small for any comfortable supper? Another room of much better size might be
48secured for the purpose; but it was at the other end of the house, and a long awkward passage must be gone through to
49get at it. This made a difficulty. Mrs. Weston was afraid of draughts for the young people in that passage; and neither
50Emma nor the gentlemen could tolerate the prospect of being miserably crowded at supper. Mrs. Weston proposed having no
51regular supper; merely sandwiches, &c., set out in the little room; but that was scouted as a wretched suggestion. A
52private dance, without sitting down to supper, was pronounced an infamous fraud upon the rights of men and women; and
53Mrs. Weston must not speak of it again. She then took another line of expediency, and looking into the doubtful room,
54observed, "I do not think it is so very small. We shall not be many, you know." And Mr. Weston at the same time, walking
55briskly with long steps through the passage, was calling out, "You talk a great deal of the length of this passage, my
56dear. It is a mere nothing after all; and not the least draught from the stairs." "I wish," said Mrs. Weston, "one could
57know which arrangement our guests in general would like best. To do what would be most generally pleasing must be our
58object--if one could but tell what that would be." "Yes, very true," cried Frank, "very true. You want your neighbours'
59opinions. I do not wonder at you. If one could ascertain what the chief of them--the Coles, for instance. They are not
60far off. Shall I call upon them? Or Miss Bates? She is still nearer.--And I do not know whether Miss Bates is not as
61likely to understand the inclinations of the rest of the people as any body. I think we do want a larger council.
62Suppose I go and invite Miss Bates to join us?" "Well--if you please," said Mrs. Weston rather hesitating, "if you think
63she will be of any use." "You will get nothing to the purpose from Miss Bates," said Emma. "She will be all delight and
64gratitude, but she will tell you nothing. She will not even listen to your questions. I see no advantage in consulting
65Miss Bates." "But she is so amusing, so extremely amusing! I am very fond of hearing Miss Bates talk. And I need not
66bring the whole family, you know." Here Mr. Weston joined them, and on hearing what was proposed, gave it his decided
67approbation.
