1"I am not fond of dinner-visiting," said he--"I never was. No more is Emma. Late hours do not agree with us. I am sorry
2Mr. and Mrs. Cole should have done it. I think it would be much better if they would come in one afternoon next summer,
3and take their tea with us--take us in their afternoon walk; which they might do, as our hours are so reasonable, and
4yet get home without being out in the damp of the evening. The dews of a summer evening are what I would not expose any
5body to. However, as they are so very desirous to have dear Emma dine with them, and as you will both be there, and Mr.
6Knightley too, to take care of her, I cannot wish to prevent it, provided the weather be what it ought, neither damp,
7nor cold, nor windy." Then turning to Mrs. Weston, with a look of gentle reproach--"Ah! Miss Taylor, if you had not
8married, you would have staid at home with me." "Well, sir," cried Mr. Weston, "as I took Miss Taylor away, it is
9incumbent on me to supply her place, if I can; and I will step to Mrs. Goddard in a moment, if you wish it." But the
10idea of any thing to be done in a moment, was increasing, not lessening, Mr. Woodhouse's agitation. The ladies knew
11better how to allay it. Mr. Weston must be quiet, and every thing deliberately arranged. With this treatment, Mr.
12Woodhouse was soon composed enough for talking as usual. "He should be happy to see Mrs. Goddard. He had a great regard
13for Mrs. Goddard; and Emma should write a line, and invite her. James could take the note. But first of all, there must
14be an answer written to Mrs. Cole." "You will make my excuses, my dear, as civilly as possible. You will say that I am
15quite an invalid, and go no where, and therefore must decline their obliging invitation; beginning with my compliments,
16of course. But you will do every thing right. I need not tell you what is to be done. We must remember to let James know
17that the carriage will be wanted on Tuesday. I shall have no fears for you with him. We have never been there above once
18since the new approach was made; but still I have no doubt that James will take you very safely. And when you get there,
19you must tell him at what time you would have him come for you again; and you had better name an early hour. You will
20not like staying late. You will get very tired when tea is over." "But you would not wish me to come away before I am
21tired, papa?" "Oh! no, my love; but you will soon be tired. There will be a great many people talking at once. You will
22not like the noise." "But, my dear sir," cried Mr. Weston, "if Emma comes away early, it will be breaking up the party."
23"And no great harm if it does," said Mr. Woodhouse. "The sooner every party breaks up, the better." "But you do not
24consider how it may appear to the Coles. Emma's going away directly after tea might be giving offence. They are
25good-natured people, and think little of their own claims; but still they must feel that any body's hurrying away is no
26great compliment; and Miss Woodhouse's doing it would be more thought of than any other person's in the room. You would
27not wish to disappoint and mortify the Coles, I am sure, sir; friendly, good sort of people as ever lived, and who have
28been your neighbours these ten years." "No, upon no account in the world, Mr. Weston; I am much obliged to you for
29reminding me. I should be extremely sorry to be giving them any pain. I know what worthy people they are. Perry tells me
30that Mr. Cole never touches malt liquor. You would not think it to look at him, but he is bilious--Mr. Cole is very
31bilious. No, I would not be the means of giving them any pain. My dear Emma, we must consider this. I am sure, rather
32than run the risk of hurting Mr. and Mrs. Cole, you would stay a little longer than you might wish. You will not regard
33being tired. You will be perfectly safe, you know, among your friends." "Oh yes, papa. I have no fears at all for
34myself; and I should have no scruples of staying as late as Mrs. Weston, but on your account. I am only afraid of your
35sitting up for me. I am not afraid of your not being exceedingly comfortable with Mrs. Goddard. She loves piquet, you
36know; but when she is gone home, I am afraid you will be sitting up by yourself, instead of going to bed at your usual
37time--and the idea of that would entirely destroy my comfort. You must promise me not to sit up." He did, on the
38condition of some promises on her side: such as that, if she came home cold, she would be sure to warm herself
39thoroughly; if hungry, that she would take something to eat; that her own maid should sit up for her; and that Serle and
40the butler should see that every thing were safe in the house, as usual.
