1"I do not think he is conceited either, in general," said Harriet, her conscience opposing such censure; "at least, he
2is very good natured, and I shall always feel much obliged to him, and have a great regard for--but that is quite a
3different thing from--and you know, though he may like me, it does not follow that I should--and certainly I must
4confess that since my visiting here I have seen people--and if one comes to compare them, person and manners, there is
5no comparison at all, one is so very handsome and agreeable. However, I do really think Mr. Martin a very amiable young
6man, and have a great opinion of him; and his being so much attached to me--and his writing such a letter--but as to
7leaving you, it is what I would not do upon any consideration." "Thank you, thank you, my own sweet little friend. We
8will not be parted. A woman is not to marry a man merely because she is asked, or because he is attached to her, and can
9write a tolerable letter." "Oh no;--and it is but a short letter too." Emma felt the bad taste of her friend, but let it
10pass with a "very true; and it would be a small consolation to her, for the clownish manner which might be offending her
11every hour of the day, to know that her husband could write a good letter." "Oh! yes, very. Nobody cares for a letter;
12the thing is, to be always happy with pleasant companions. I am quite determined to refuse him. But how shall I do? What
13shall I say?" Emma assured her there would be no difficulty in the answer, and advised its being written directly, which
14was agreed to, in the hope of her assistance; and though Emma continued to protest against any assistance being wanted,
15it was in fact given in the formation of every sentence. The looking over his letter again, in replying to it, had such
16a softening tendency, that it was particularly necessary to brace her up with a few decisive expressions; and she was so
17very much concerned at the idea of making him unhappy, and thought so much of what his mother and sisters would think
18and say, and was so anxious that they should not fancy her ungrateful, that Emma believed if the young man had come in
19her way at that moment, he would have been accepted after all. This letter, however, was written, and sealed, and sent.
20The business was finished, and Harriet safe. She was rather low all the evening, but Emma could allow for her amiable
21regrets, and sometimes relieved them by speaking of her own affection, sometimes by bringing forward the idea of Mr.
22Elton. "I shall never be invited to Abbey-Mill again," was said in rather a sorrowful tone. "Nor, if you were, could I
23ever bear to part with you, my Harriet. You are a great deal too necessary at Hartfield to be spared to Abbey-Mill."
24"And I am sure I should never want to go there; for I am never happy but at Hartfield." Some time afterwards it was, "I
25think Mrs. Goddard would be very much surprized if she knew what had happened. I am sure Miss Nash would--for Miss Nash
26thinks her own sister very well married, and it is only a linen-draper." "One should be sorry to see greater pride or
27refinement in the teacher of a school, Harriet. I dare say Miss Nash would envy you such an opportunity as this of being
28married. Even this conquest would appear valuable in her eyes. As to any thing superior for you, I suppose she is quite
29in the dark. The attentions of a certain person can hardly be among the tittle-tattle of Highbury yet. Hitherto I fancy
30you and I are the only people to whom his looks and manners have explained themselves." Harriet blushed and smiled, and
31said something about wondering that people should like her so much. The idea of Mr. Elton was certainly cheering; but
32still, after a time, she was tender-hearted again towards the rejected Mr. Martin. "Now he has got my letter," said she
33softly. "I wonder what they are all doing--whether his sisters know--if he is unhappy, they will be unhappy too. I hope
34he will not mind it so very much." "Let us think of those among our absent friends who are more cheerfully employed,"
35cried Emma. "At this moment, perhaps, Mr. Elton is shewing your picture to his mother and sisters, telling how much more
36beautiful is the original, and after being asked for it five or six times, allowing them to hear your name, your own
37dear name." "My picture!--But he has left my picture in Bond-street." "Has he so!--Then I know nothing of Mr. Elton. No,
38my dear little modest Harriet, depend upon it the picture will not be in Bond-street till just before he mounts his
39horse to-morrow. It is his companion all this evening, his solace, his delight. It opens his designs to his family, it
40introduces you among them, it diffuses through the party those pleasantest feelings of our nature, eager curiosity and
41warm prepossession. How cheerful, how animated, how suspicious, how busy their imaginations all are!" Harriet smiled
42again, and her smiles grew stronger.
