1"Ah! you will never guess. You, (to Emma), I am certain, will never guess.--I will tell you.--M. and A.--Em-ma.--Do you
2understand?" Understanding and gratification came together. It might be a very indifferent piece of wit, but Emma found
3a great deal to laugh at and enjoy in it--and so did Frank and Harriet.--It did not seem to touch the rest of the party
4equally; some looked very stupid about it, and Mr. Knightley gravely said, "This explains the sort of clever thing that
5is wanted, and Mr. Weston has done very well for himself; but he must have knocked up every body else. Perfection should
6not have come quite so soon." "Oh! for myself, I protest I must be excused," said Mrs. Elton; "I really cannot
7attempt--I am not at all fond of the sort of thing. I had an acrostic once sent to me upon my own name, which I was not
8at all pleased with. I knew who it came from. An abominable puppy!--You know who I mean (nodding to her husband). These
9kind of things are very well at Christmas, when one is sitting round the fire; but quite out of place, in my opinion,
10when one is exploring about the country in summer. Miss Woodhouse must excuse me. I am not one of those who have witty
11things at every body's service. I do not pretend to be a wit. I have a great deal of vivacity in my own way, but I
12really must be allowed to judge when to speak and when to hold my tongue. Pass us, if you please, Mr. Churchill. Pass
13Mr. E., Knightley, Jane, and myself. We have nothing clever to say--not one of us. "Yes, yes, pray pass me," added her
14husband, with a sort of sneering consciousness; "I have nothing to say that can entertain Miss Woodhouse, or any other
15young lady. An old married man--quite good for nothing. Shall we walk, Augusta?" "With all my heart. I am really tired
16of exploring so long on one spot. Come, Jane, take my other arm." Jane declined it, however, and the husband and wife
17walked off. "Happy couple!" said Frank Churchill, as soon as they were out of hearing:--"How well they suit one
18another!--Very lucky--marrying as they did, upon an acquaintance formed only in a public place!--They only knew each
19other, I think, a few weeks in Bath! Peculiarly lucky!--for as to any real knowledge of a person's disposition that
20Bath, or any public place, can give--it is all nothing; there can be no knowledge. It is only by seeing women in their
21own homes, among their own set, just as they always are, that you can form any just judgment. Short of that, it is all
22guess and luck--and will generally be ill-luck. How many a man has committed himself on a short acquaintance, and rued
23it all the rest of his life!" Miss Fairfax, who had seldom spoken before, except among her own confederates, spoke now.
24"Such things do occur, undoubtedly."--She was stopped by a cough. Frank Churchill turned towards her to listen. "You
25were speaking," said he, gravely. She recovered her voice. "I was only going to observe, that though such unfortunate
26circumstances do sometimes occur both to men and women, I cannot imagine them to be very frequent. A hasty and imprudent
27attachment may arise--but there is generally time to recover from it afterwards. I would be understood to mean, that it
28can be only weak, irresolute characters, (whose happiness must be always at the mercy of chance,) who will suffer an
29unfortunate acquaintance to be an inconvenience, an oppression for ever." He made no answer; merely looked, and bowed in
30submission; and soon afterwards said, in a lively tone, "Well, I have so little confidence in my own judgment, that
31whenever I marry, I hope some body will chuse my wife for me. Will you? (turning to Emma.) Will you chuse a wife for
32me?--I am sure I should like any body fixed on by you. You provide for the family, you know, (with a smile at his
33father). Find some body for me. I am in no hurry. Adopt her, educate her." "And make her like myself." "By all means, if
34you can." "Very well. I undertake the commission. You shall have a charming wife." "She must be very lively, and have
35hazle eyes. I care for nothing else. I shall go abroad for a couple of years--and when I return, I shall come to you for
36my wife. Remember." Emma was in no danger of forgetting. It was a commission to touch every favourite feeling. Would not
37Harriet be the very creature described? Hazle eyes excepted, two years more might make her all that he wished. He might
38even have Harriet in his thoughts at the moment; who could say? Referring the education to her seemed to imply it. "Now,
39ma'am," said Jane to her aunt, "shall we join Mrs. Elton?" "If you please, my dear. With all my heart. I am quite ready.
40I was ready to have gone with her, but this will do just as well. We shall soon overtake her. There she is--no, that's
41somebody else. That's one of the ladies in the Irish car party, not at all like her.--Well, I declare--" They walked
42off, followed in half a minute by Mr. Knightley. Mr. Weston, his son, Emma, and Harriet, only remained; and the young
43man's spirits now rose to a pitch almost unpleasant. Even Emma grew tired at last of flattery and merriment, and wished
44herself rather walking quietly about with any of the others, or sitting almost alone, and quite unattended to, in
45tranquil observation of the beautiful views beneath her. The appearance of the servants looking out for them to give
46notice of the carriages was a joyful sight; and even the bustle of collecting and preparing to depart, and the
47solicitude of Mrs. Elton to have her carriage first, were gladly endured, in the prospect of the quiet drive home which
48was to close the very questionable enjoyments of this day of pleasure. Such another scheme, composed of so many
49ill-assorted people, she hoped never to be betrayed into again. While waiting for the carriage, she found Mr. Knightley
50by her side. He looked around, as if to see that no one were near, and then said, "Emma, I must once more speak to you
51as I have been used to do: a privilege rather endured than allowed, perhaps, but I must still use it. I cannot see you
52acting wrong, without a remonstrance. How could you be so unfeeling to Miss Bates? How could you be so insolent in your
53wit to a woman of her character, age, and situation?--Emma, I had not thought it possible." Emma recollected, blushed,
54was sorry, but tried to laugh it off. "Nay, how could I help saying what I did?--Nobody could have helped it. It was not
55so very bad. I dare say she did not understand me." "I assure you she did. She felt your full meaning. She has talked of
56it since. I wish you could have heard how she talked of it--with what candour and generosity. I wish you could have
57heard her honouring your forbearance, in being able to pay her such attentions, as she was for ever receiving from
58yourself and your father, when her society must be so irksome." "Oh!" cried Emma, "I know there is not a better creature
59in the world: but you must allow, that what is good and what is ridiculous are most unfortunately blended in her."
