of Speculation。¨ Mrs。 Robert offered not another word in   support 

of   the   game。!She        was    quite   vanquished�察      �and   the   fashions    of 

Osborne Castle carried it over the fashions of Croydon。!`Do   you 

see   much   of   the   Parsonage   family   at   the   Castle�察  �Mr。   Musgrave�拭� 

said   Emma�察  �as   they   were   taking   their   seats。!`Oh�   �yes!they   are 

almost   always   there。   Mrs。   Blake   is   a   nice   little   good´humoured 

Woman�察       �she   and    I  are   sworn     friends�察   �and   Howard¨s       a  very 

gentlemanlike good sort of fellow� �You are not forgotten I assure 

you   by   any   of   the   party。   I   fancy   you   must   have   a   little   cheek´ 

glowing now and then Miss Emma。 Were you not rather warm last 

Saturday about 9 or 10 o¨clock in the Evening�拭�I will tell you how 

it  was。!I      see  you    are  dieing    to  know。!Says        Howard      to  Lord 

Osborne!¨   At   this   interesting   moment   he   was   called   on   by   the 

others�察�to regulate the game and determine some disputable point�察�

and     his  attention     was   so   totally  engaged      in  the   business     and 

afterwards by the course of the game as never to revert to what he 

had   been   saying   before�察�and   Emma�察  �tho¨   suffering   a   good   deal 

from   Curiosity�察  �dared not  remind   him。!He proved   a   very   useful 

addition to their Table�察�without him�察�it would have been a party of 

such     very   near   relations    as   could   have    felt  little  Interest�察  �and 

perhaps      maintained       little  complaisance�察     �but   his   presence     gave 

variety   and   secured   good   manners。!He   was   in   fact   excellently 

qualified to shine at a round Game�察�and few situations made him 

appear   to   greater   advantage。        He   played    with   spirit�察  �and   had   a 

great   deal   to   say   and   tho¨   with   no   wit   himself�察  �could   sometimes 

make  use   of  the   wit  of  an absent  friend�察 �and   had   a   lively   way   of

Castle   were now  added   to   his   ordinary   means   of   Entertainment�察�

he repeated the smart sayings of one Lady�察�detailed the oversights 

of another�察�and indulged them even with a copy of Lord Osborne¨s 

stile   of  overdrawing     himself    on  both   cards。!The       Clock   struck 

nine�察�while he was thus agreably occupied�察�and when Nanny came 

in   with   her   Master¨s    Bason    of  Gruel�察  �he   had   the  pleasure     of 

observing to Mr。 Watson that he should leave him at supper�察�while 

he   went   home   to   dinner   himself。!The   Carriage   was   ordered   to 

the   door!and       no   entreaties   for  his   staying   longer   could    now 

avail�察�for   he    well   knew�察   �that  if  he  staid  he  must    sit  down    to 

supper in less than ten minutes!which to a Man whose heart had 

been     long  fixed   on  calling   his  next   meal    a  Dinner�察  �was    quite 

insupportable。!On finding him determined to go�察�Margaret began 

to wink and nod at Elizabeth to ask him to dinner for the following 

day�察�and Elizabeth at last not able to resist hints�察�which her  own 

hospitable�察    �social   temper     more    than   half   seconded�察    �gave   the 

invitation。 `Would he give Robert the meeting�察�they should be very 

happy。¨     `With   the  greatest    pleasure¨!was       his  first  reply。  In   a 

moment afterwards!`That  is   if  I can   possibly  get  here   in   time! 

but I shoot with Lord Osborne�察�and therefore must  not  engage! 

You will not think of me unless you see me。¨!And so�察�he departed�察�

delighted with the uncertainty in which he had left it。

   Margaret in the joy of her heart under circumstances which she 

chose   to   consider   as   peculiarly   propitious�察  �would   willingly   have 

made a confidante of Emma when they were alone for a short time

the next morning�察�and had proceeded so far as to say!`The young 

man who was here last night my dear Emma and returns today�察�is 

more   interesting   to   me�察  �than   perhaps   you   may   be   aware!¨   but 

Emma       pretending      to  understand       nothing    extraordinary       in  the 

words�察  �made   some   very   inapplicable   reply�察  �and   jumping   up�察  �ran 

away from a subject which was odious to her feelings。 

    As    Margaret      would    not    allow   a   doubt    to   be   repeated     of 

Musgrave¨s       coming     to  dinner�察   �preparations      were    made     for  his 

Entertainment much exceeding what had been deemed necessary 

the   day   before�察  �and   taking   the   office   of   superintendance   intirely 

from   her  sister�察  �she   was   half   the   morning   in   the   Kitchen   herself 

directing and scolding。!After a great deal of indifferent Cooking�察�

and    anxious     Suspense      however     they   were    obliged    to  sit  down 

without their Guest。!T。 Musgrave never came�察�and Margaret was 

at no pains to conceal her vexation under the disappointment�察�or 

repress the peevishness of her Temper。 The Peace of the party for 

the    remainder      of  that   day�察  �and   the   whole    of  the   next�察  �which 

comprised   the   length   of   Robert   and   Jane¨s   visit�察  �was   continually 

invaded      by   her    fretful   displeasure�察    �and    querulous      attacks。! 

Elizabeth was the usual object of both。 Margaret had just respect 

enough  for   her   Brother   and   Sister¨s   opinion�察  �to   behave   properly 

by  them�察 �but   Elizabeth   and   the   maids   could   never   do   anything 

right!and   Emma�察  �whom   she   seemed   no   longer   to   think   about�察�

found the continuance of the gentle voice beyond her calculation 

short。   Eager   to   be   as   little   among   them   as   possible�察  �Emma   was 

delighted with the alternative of sitting above�察�with her father�察�and 

warmly  entreated  to  be   his   constant   Companion   each   Evening! 

and as Elizabeth loved company of any kind too well�察�not to prefer 

being below�察�at all risks�察�as she had rather talk of Croydon to Jane�察�

their existence�察�in memory  and   in prospect�察�but  for  the   moment�察�

she ceased to be tortured by their effects。!She was at leisure�察�she 

could   read   and   think�察�tho¨   her   situation   was   hardly   such   as   to 

make  reflection   very  soothing。   The   Evils   arising   from   the   loss   of 

her   Uncle�察  �were   neither   trifling�察  �nor   likely   to   lessen�察  �and   when 

Thought had been freely indulged�察�in contrasting the past and the 

present�察  �the   employment   of   mind�察  �the   dissipation   of   unpleasant

Hope and Solicitude of an Uncle who had formed  her  mind   with

temper had delighted to give her every indulgence�察�from being the
