1He stopt again, rose again, and seemed quite embarrassed.--He was more in love with her than Emma had supposed; and who
2can say how it might have ended, if his father had not made his appearance? Mr. Woodhouse soon followed; and the
3necessity of exertion made him composed. A very few minutes more, however, completed the present trial. Mr. Weston,
4always alert when business was to be done, and as incapable of procrastinating any evil that was inevitable, as of
5foreseeing any that was doubtful, said, "It was time to go;" and the young man, though he might and did sigh, could not
6but agree, to take leave. "I shall hear about you all," said he; "that is my chief consolation. I shall hear of every
7thing that is going on among you. I have engaged Mrs. Weston to correspond with me. She has been so kind as to promise
8it. Oh! the blessing of a female correspondent, when one is really interested in the absent!--she will tell me every
9thing. In her letters I shall be at dear Highbury again." A very friendly shake of the hand, a very earnest "Good-bye,"
10closed the speech, and the door had soon shut out Frank Churchill. Short had been the notice--short their meeting; he
11was gone; and Emma felt so sorry to part, and foresaw so great a loss to their little society from his absence as to
12begin to be afraid of being too sorry, and feeling it too much. It was a sad change. They had been meeting almost every
13day since his arrival. Certainly his being at Randalls had given great spirit to the last two weeks--indescribable
14spirit; the idea, the expectation of seeing him which every morning had brought, the assurance of his attentions, his
15liveliness, his manners! It had been a very happy fortnight, and forlorn must be the sinking from it into the common
16course of Hartfield days. To complete every other recommendation, he had almost told her that he loved her. What
17strength, or what constancy of affection he might be subject to, was another point; but at present she could not doubt
18his having a decidedly warm admiration, a conscious preference of herself; and this persuasion, joined to all the rest,
19made her think that she must be a little in love with him, in spite of every previous determination against it. "I
20certainly must," said she. "This sensation of listlessness, weariness, stupidity, this disinclination to sit down and
21employ myself, this feeling of every thing's being dull and insipid about the house!-- I must be in love; I should be
22the oddest creature in the world if I were not--for a few weeks at least. Well! evil to some is always good to others. I
23shall have many fellow-mourners for the ball, if not for Frank Churchill; but Mr. Knightley will be happy. He may spend
24the evening with his dear William Larkins now if he likes." Mr. Knightley, however, shewed no triumphant happiness. He
25could not say that he was sorry on his own account; his very cheerful look would have contradicted him if he had; but he
26said, and very steadily, that he was sorry for the disappointment of the others, and with considerable kindness added,
27"You, Emma, who have so few opportunities of dancing, you are really out of luck; you are very much out of luck!" It was
28some days before she saw Jane Fairfax, to judge of her honest regret in this woeful change; but when they did meet, her
29composure was odious. She had been particularly unwell, however, suffering from headache to a degree, which made her
30aunt declare, that had the ball taken place, she did not think Jane could have attended it; and it was charity to impute
31some of her unbecoming indifference to the languor of ill-health.
