1The whole party were but just reassembled in the drawing-room when Mr. Weston made his appearance among them. He had
2returned to a late dinner, and walked to Hartfield as soon as it was over. He had been too much expected by the best
3judges, for surprize--but there was great joy. Mr. Woodhouse was almost as glad to see him now, as he would have been
4sorry to see him before. John Knightley only was in mute astonishment.--That a man who might have spent his evening
5quietly at home after a day of business in London, should set off again, and walk half a mile to another man's house,
6for the sake of being in mixed company till bed-time, of finishing his day in the efforts of civility and the noise of
7numbers, was a circumstance to strike him deeply. A man who had been in motion since eight o'clock in the morning, and
8might now have been still, who had been long talking, and might have been silent, who had been in more than one crowd,
9and might have been alone!--Such a man, to quit the tranquillity and independence of his own fireside, and on the
10evening of a cold sleety April day rush out again into the world!--Could he by a touch of his finger have instantly
11taken back his wife, there would have been a motive; but his coming would probably prolong rather than break up the
12party. John Knightley looked at him with amazement, then shrugged his shoulders, and said, "I could not have believed it
13even of him." Mr. Weston meanwhile, perfectly unsuspicious of the indignation he was exciting, happy and cheerful as
14usual, and with all the right of being principal talker, which a day spent anywhere from home confers, was making
15himself agreeable among the rest; and having satisfied the inquiries of his wife as to his dinner, convincing her that
16none of all her careful directions to the servants had been forgotten, and spread abroad what public news he had heard,
17was proceeding to a family communication, which, though principally addressed to Mrs. Weston, he had not the smallest
18doubt of being highly interesting to every body in the room. He gave her a letter, it was from Frank, and to herself; he
19had met with it in his way, and had taken the liberty of opening it. "Read it, read it," said he, "it will give you
20pleasure; only a few lines--will not take you long; read it to Emma." The two ladies looked over it together; and he sat
21smiling and talking to them the whole time, in a voice a little subdued, but very audible to every body. "Well, he is
22coming, you see; good news, I think. Well, what do you say to it?--I always told you he would be here again soon, did
23not I?--Anne, my dear, did not I always tell you so, and you would not believe me?--In town next week, you see--at the
24latest, I dare say; for she is as impatient as the black gentleman when any thing is to be done; most likely they will
25be there to-morrow or Saturday. As to her illness, all nothing of course. But it is an excellent thing to have Frank
26among us again, so near as town. They will stay a good while when they do come, and he will be half his time with us.
27This is precisely what I wanted. Well, pretty good news, is not it? Have you finished it? Has Emma read it all? Put it
28up, put it up; we will have a good talk about it some other time, but it will not do now. I shall only just mention the
29circumstance to the others in a common way." Mrs. Weston was most comfortably pleased on the occasion. Her looks and
30words had nothing to restrain them. She was happy, she knew she was happy, and knew she ought to be happy. Her
31congratulations were warm and open; but Emma could not speak so fluently. She was a little occupied in weighing her own
32feelings, and trying to understand the degree of her agitation, which she rather thought was considerable. Mr. Weston,
33however, too eager to be very observant, too communicative to want others to talk, was very well satisfied with what she
34did say, and soon moved away to make the rest of his friends happy by a partial communication of what the whole room
35must have overheard already. It was well that he took every body's joy for granted, or he might not have thought either
36Mr. Woodhouse or Mr. Knightley particularly delighted. They were the first entitled, after Mrs. Weston and Emma, to be
37made happy;--from them he would have proceeded to Miss Fairfax, but she was so deep in conversation with John Knightley,
38that it would have been too positive an interruption; and finding himself close to Mrs. Elton, and her attention
39disengaged, he necessarily began on the subject with her.
