1"Jane, Jane, my dear Jane, where are you?--Here is your tippet. Mrs. Weston begs you to put on your tippet. She says she
2is afraid there will be draughts in the passage, though every thing has been done--One door nailed up--Quantities of
3matting--My dear Jane, indeed you must. Mr. Churchill, oh! you are too obliging! How well you put it on!--so gratified!
4Excellent dancing indeed!--Yes, my dear, I ran home, as I said I should, to help grandmama to bed, and got back again,
5and nobody missed me.--I set off without saying a word, just as I told you. Grandmama was quite well, had a charming
6evening with Mr. Woodhouse, a vast deal of chat, and backgammon.--Tea was made downstairs, biscuits and baked apples and
7wine before she came away: amazing luck in some of her throws: and she inquired a great deal about you, how you were
8amused, and who were your partners. 'Oh!' said I, 'I shall not forestall Jane; I left her dancing with Mr. George Otway;
9she will love to tell you all about it herself to-morrow: her first partner was Mr. Elton, I do not know who will ask
10her next, perhaps Mr. William Cox.' My dear sir, you are too obliging.--Is there nobody you would not rather?--I am not
11helpless. Sir, you are most kind. Upon my word, Jane on one arm, and me on the other!--Stop, stop, let us stand a little
12back, Mrs. Elton is going; dear Mrs. Elton, how elegant she looks!--Beautiful lace!--Now we all follow in her train.
13Quite the queen of the evening!--Well, here we are at the passage. Two steps, Jane, take care of the two steps. Oh! no,
14there is but one. Well, I was persuaded there were two. How very odd! I was convinced there were two, and there is but
15one. I never saw any thing equal to the comfort and style--Candles everywhere.--I was telling you of your grandmama,
16Jane,--There was a little disappointment.--The baked apples and biscuits, excellent in their way, you know; but there
17was a delicate fricassee of sweetbread and some asparagus brought in at first, and good Mr. Woodhouse, not thinking the
18asparagus quite boiled enough, sent it all out again. Now there is nothing grandmama loves better than sweetbread and
19asparagus--so she was rather disappointed, but we agreed we would not speak of it to any body, for fear of its getting
20round to dear Miss Woodhouse, who would be so very much concerned!--Well, this is brilliant! I am all amazement! could
21not have supposed any thing!--Such elegance and profusion!--I have seen nothing like it since--Well, where shall we sit?
22where shall we sit? Anywhere, so that Jane is not in a draught. Where I sit is of no consequence. Oh! do you recommend
23this side?--Well, I am sure, Mr. Churchill--only it seems too good--but just as you please. What you direct in this
24house cannot be wrong. Dear Jane, how shall we ever recollect half the dishes for grandmama? Soup too! Bless me! I
25should not be helped so soon, but it smells most excellent, and I cannot help beginning." Emma had no opportunity of
26speaking to Mr. Knightley till after supper; but, when they were all in the ballroom again, her eyes invited him
27irresistibly to come to her and be thanked. He was warm in his reprobation of Mr. Elton's conduct; it had been
28unpardonable rudeness; and Mrs. Elton's looks also received the due share of censure. "They aimed at wounding more than
29Harriet," said he. "Emma, why is it that they are your enemies?" He looked with smiling penetration; and, on receiving
30no answer, added, "She ought not to be angry with you, I suspect, whatever he may be.--To that surmise, you say nothing,
31of course; but confess, Emma, that you did want him to marry Harriet." "I did," replied Emma, "and they cannot forgive
32me." He shook his head; but there was a smile of indulgence with it, and he only said, "I shall not scold you. I leave
33you to your own reflections." "Can you trust me with such flatterers?--Does my vain spirit ever tell me I am wrong?"
34"Not your vain spirit, but your serious spirit.--If one leads you wrong, I am sure the other tells you of it." "I do own
35myself to have been completely mistaken in Mr. Elton. There is a littleness about him which you discovered, and which I
36did not: and I was fully convinced of his being in love with Harriet. It was through a series of strange blunders!"
37"And, in return for your acknowledging so much, I will do you the justice to say, that you would have chosen for him
38better than he has chosen for himself.--Harriet Smith has some first-rate qualities, which Mrs. Elton is totally
39without. An unpretending, single-minded, artless girl--infinitely to be preferred by any man of sense and taste to such
40a woman as Mrs. Elton. I found Harriet more conversable than I expected." Emma was extremely gratified.--They were
41interrupted by the bustle of Mr. Weston calling on every body to begin dancing again. "Come Miss Woodhouse, Miss Otway,
42Miss Fairfax, what are you all doing?--Come Emma, set your companions the example. Every body is lazy! Every body is
43asleep!" "I am ready," said Emma, "whenever I am wanted." "Whom are you going to dance with?" asked Mr. Knightley. She
44hesitated a moment, and then replied, "With you, if you will ask me." "Will you?" said he, offering his hand. "Indeed I
45will. You have shewn that you can dance, and you know we are not really so much brother and sister as to make it at all
46improper." "Brother and sister! no, indeed."
