1She was so busy in admiring those soft blue eyes, in talking and listening, and forming all these schemes in the
2in-betweens, that the evening flew away at a very unusual rate; and the supper-table, which always closed such parties,
3and for which she had been used to sit and watch the due time, was all set out and ready, and moved forwards to the
4fire, before she was aware. With an alacrity beyond the common impulse of a spirit which yet was never indifferent to
5the credit of doing every thing well and attentively, with the real good-will of a mind delighted with its own ideas,
6did she then do all the honours of the meal, and help and recommend the minced chicken and scalloped oysters, with an
7urgency which she knew would be acceptable to the early hours and civil scruples of their guests. Upon such occasions
8poor Mr. Woodhouse's feelings were in sad warfare. He loved to have the cloth laid, because it had been the fashion of
9his youth, but his conviction of suppers being very unwholesome made him rather sorry to see any thing put on it; and
10while his hospitality would have welcomed his visitors to every thing, his care for their health made him grieve that
11they would eat. Such another small basin of thin gruel as his own was all that he could, with thorough self-approbation,
12recommend; though he might constrain himself, while the ladies were comfortably clearing the nicer things, to say: "Mrs.
13Bates, let me propose your venturing on one of these eggs. An egg boiled very soft is not unwholesome. Serle understands
14boiling an egg better than any body. I would not recommend an egg boiled by any body else; but you need not be afraid,
15they are very small, you see--one of our small eggs will not hurt you. Miss Bates, let Emma help you to a little bit of
16tart--a very little bit. Ours are all apple-tarts. You need not be afraid of unwholesome preserves here. I do not advise
17the custard. Mrs. Goddard, what say you to half a glass of wine? A small half-glass, put into a tumbler of water? I do
18not think it could disagree with you." Emma allowed her father to talk--but supplied her visitors in a much more
19satisfactory style, and on the present evening had particular pleasure in sending them away happy. The happiness of Miss
20Smith was quite equal to her intentions. Miss Woodhouse was so great a personage in Highbury, that the prospect of the
21introduction had given as much panic as pleasure; but the humble, grateful little girl went off with highly gratified
22feelings, delighted with the affability with which Miss Woodhouse had treated her all the evening, and actually shaken
23hands with her at last!
