1"Oh! the good Bateses--I am quite ashamed of myself--but you mention them in most of your letters. I hope they are quite
2well. Good old Mrs. Bates--I will call upon her to-morrow, and take my children.--They are always so pleased to see my
3children.--And that excellent Miss Bates!--such thorough worthy people!--How are they, sir?" "Why, pretty well, my dear,
4upon the whole. But poor Mrs. Bates had a bad cold about a month ago." "How sorry I am! But colds were never so
5prevalent as they have been this autumn. Mr. Wingfield told me that he has never known them more general or
6heavy--except when it has been quite an influenza." "That has been a good deal the case, my dear; but not to the degree
7you mention. Perry says that colds have been very general, but not so heavy as he has very often known them in November.
8Perry does not call it altogether a sickly season." "No, I do not know that Mr. Wingfield considers it very sickly
9except-- "Ah! my poor dear child, the truth is, that in London it is always a sickly season. Nobody is healthy in
10London, nobody can be. It is a dreadful thing to have you forced to live there! so far off!--and the air so bad!" "No,
11indeed--we are not at all in a bad air. Our part of London is very superior to most others!--You must not confound us
12with London in general, my dear sir. The neighbourhood of Brunswick Square is very different from almost all the rest.
13We are so very airy! I should be unwilling, I own, to live in any other part of the town;--there is hardly any other
14that I could be satisfied to have my children in: but we are so remarkably airy!--Mr. Wingfield thinks the vicinity of
15Brunswick Square decidedly the most favourable as to air." "Ah! my dear, it is not like Hartfield. You make the best of
16it--but after you have been a week at Hartfield, you are all of you different creatures; you do not look like the same.
17Now I cannot say, that I think you are any of you looking well at present." "I am sorry to hear you say so, sir; but I
18assure you, excepting those little nervous head-aches and palpitations which I am never entirely free from anywhere, I
19am quite well myself; and if the children were rather pale before they went to bed, it was only because they were a
20little more tired than usual, from their journey and the happiness of coming. I hope you will think better of their
21looks to-morrow; for I assure you Mr. Wingfield told me, that he did not believe he had ever sent us off altogether, in
22such good case. I trust, at least, that you do not think Mr. Knightley looking ill," turning her eyes with affectionate
23anxiety towards her husband. "Middling, my dear; I cannot compliment you. I think Mr. John Knightley very far from
24looking well." "What is the matter, sir?--Did you speak to me?" cried Mr. John Knightley, hearing his own name. "I am
25sorry to find, my love, that my father does not think you looking well--but I hope it is only from being a little
26fatigued. I could have wished, however, as you know, that you had seen Mr. Wingfield before you left home." "My dear
27Isabella,"--exclaimed he hastily--"pray do not concern yourself about my looks. Be satisfied with doctoring and coddling
28yourself and the children, and let me look as I chuse." "I did not thoroughly understand what you were telling your
29brother," cried Emma, "about your friend Mr. Graham's intending to have a bailiff from Scotland, to look after his new
30estate. What will it answer? Will not the old prejudice be too strong?" And she talked in this way so long and
31successfully that, when forced to give her attention again to her father and sister, she had nothing worse to hear than
32Isabella's kind inquiry after Jane Fairfax; and Jane Fairfax, though no great favourite with her in general, she was at
33that moment very happy to assist in praising. "That sweet, amiable Jane Fairfax!" said Mrs. John Knightley.--"It is so
34long since I have seen her, except now and then for a moment accidentally in town! What happiness it must be to her good
35old grandmother and excellent aunt, when she comes to visit them! I always regret excessively on dear Emma's account
36that she cannot be more at Highbury; but now their daughter is married, I suppose Colonel and Mrs. Campbell will not be
37able to part with her at all. She would be such a delightful companion for Emma." Mr. Woodhouse agreed to it all, but
38added, "Our little friend Harriet Smith, however, is just such another pretty kind of young person. You will like
39Harriet. Emma could not have a better companion than Harriet." "I am most happy to hear it--but only Jane Fairfax one
40knows to be so very accomplished and superior!--and exactly Emma's age." This topic was discussed very happily, and
41others succeeded of similar moment, and passed away with similar harmony; but the evening did not close without a little
42return of agitation. The gruel came and supplied a great deal to be said--much praise and many comments--undoubting
43decision of its wholesomeness for every constitution, and pretty severe Philippics upon the many houses where it was
44never met with tolerably;--but, unfortunately, among the failures which the daughter had to instance, the most recent,
45and therefore most prominent, was in her own cook at South End, a young woman hired for the time, who never had been
46able to understand what she meant by a basin of nice smooth gruel, thin, but not too thin. Often as she had wished for
47and ordered it, she had never been able to get any thing tolerable. Here was a dangerous opening. "Ah!" said Mr.
48Woodhouse, shaking his head and fixing his eyes on her with tender concern.--The ejaculation in Emma's ear expressed,
49"Ah! there is no end of the sad consequences of your going to South End. It does not bear talking of." And for a little
50while she hoped he would not talk of it, and that a silent rumination might suffice to restore him to the relish of his
51own smooth gruel. After an interval of some minutes, however, he began with, "I shall always be very sorry that you went
52to the sea this autumn, instead of coming here." "But why should you be sorry, sir?--I assure you, it did the children a
53great deal of good." "And, moreover, if you must go to the sea, it had better not have been to South End. South End is
54an unhealthy place. Perry was surprized to hear you had fixed upon South End." "I know there is such an idea with many
55people, but indeed it is quite a mistake, sir.--We all had our health perfectly well there, never found the least
56inconvenience from the mud; and Mr. Wingfield says it is entirely a mistake to suppose the place unhealthy; and I am
57sure he may be depended on, for he thoroughly understands the nature of the air, and his own brother and family have
58been there repeatedly." "You should have gone to Cromer, my dear, if you went anywhere.--Perry was a week at Cromer
59once, and he holds it to be the best of all the sea-bathing places. A fine open sea, he says, and very pure air. And, by
60what I understand, you might have had lodgings there quite away from the sea--a quarter of a mile off--very comfortable.
61You should have consulted Perry." "But, my dear sir, the difference of the journey;--only consider how great it would
62have been.--An hundred miles, perhaps, instead of forty." "Ah! my dear, as Perry says, where health is at stake, nothing
63else should be considered; and if one is to travel, there is not much to chuse between forty miles and an
64hundred.--Better not move at all, better stay in London altogether than travel forty miles to get into a worse air. This
65is just what Perry said. It seemed to him a very ill-judged measure." Emma's attempts to stop her father had been vain;
66and when he had reached such a point as this, she could not wonder at her brother-in-law's breaking out.
