I do not like her plans or her opinions。 I shall be afraid of her。!
She must have too masculine and bold a temper。!To be so bent
on Marriage!to pursue a Man merely for the sake of situation!is
a sort of thing that shocks me�察�I cannot understand it。 Poverty is a
great Evil�察�but to a woman of Education and feeling it ought not�察�it
cannot be the greatest。!I would rather be Teacher at a school
��and I can think of nothing worse�� than marry a Man I did not
like。¨!`I would rather do any thing than be Teacher at a school¨!
said her sister。 `I have been at school�察 �Emma�察 �and know what a
Life they lead�察 �you never have。!I should not like marrying a
disagreable Man any more than yourself�察�but I do not think there
are many very disagreable Men�察�I think I could like any good
humoured Man with a comfortable Income。!I suppose my Aunt
brought you up to be rather refined。¨ `Indeed I do not know。!My
conduct must tell you how I have been brought up。 I am no judge
of it myself。 I cannot compare my Aunt¨s method with any other
persons�察�because I know no other。¨!`But I can see in a great many
things that you are very refined。 I have observed it ever since you
came home�察 �and I am afraid it will not be for your happiness。
Penelope will laugh at you very much。¨ `That will not be for my
happiness I am sure。!If my opinions are wrong�察 �I must correct
them!if they are above my situation�察�I must endeavour to conceal
them。!But I doubt whether Ridicule�察�Has Penelope much
wit�拭�!`Yes!she has great spirits�察 �and never cares what she
says。¨!`Margaret is more gentle I imagine�拭�!`Yes!especially in
company�察 �she is all gentleness and mildness when anybody is
by。!But she is a little fretful and perverse among ourselves。!
Poor creature� �she is possessed with the notion of Tom Musgrave¨s
being more seriously in love with her�察�than he ever was with any

body else�察�and is always expecting him to come to the point。 This is
the second time within this twelvemonth that she has gone to
spend a month with Robert and Jane on purpose to egg him on�察�by
her absence!but I am sure she is mistaken�察 �and that he will no
more follow her to Croydon now than he did last March。!He will
never marry unless he can marry somebody very great�察 �Miss
Osborne perhaps�察�or something in that stile。¨ `Your account of this
Tom Musgrave�察 �Elizabeth�察 �gives me very little inclination for his
acquaintance。¨ `You are afraid of him�察 �I do not wonder at you。¨!
`No indeed!I dislike and despise him。¨!`Dislike and Despise Tom
Musgrave� �No�察�that you never can。 I defy you not to be delighted
with him if he takes notice of you。!I hope he will dance with
you!and I dare say he will�察�unless the Osbornes come with a large
party�察�and then he will not speak to any body else。¨ `He seems to
have most engaging manners� �!said Emma。!`Well�察 �we shall see
how irresistable Mr。 Tom Musgrave and I find each other。!I
suppose I shall know him as soon as I enter the Ball´room�察�he must
carry some of his Charm in his face。¨!`You will not find him in the
Ball´room I can tell you�察�You will go early that Mrs。 Edwardes may
get a good place by the fire�察�and he never comes till late�察�and if the
Osbornes are coming�察 �he will wait in the Passage�察 �and come in
with them。!I should like to look in upon you Emma。 If it was but
a good day with my Father�察 �I would wrap myself up�察 �and James
should drive me over�察 �as soon as I had made Tea for him�察 �and I
should be with you by the time the Dancing began。¨ `What� �would
you come late at night in this Chair�拭�!`To be sure I would。!
There�察 �I said you were very refined�察�and that¨s an instance of
it。¨!Emma for a moment made no answer!at last she said!`I
wish Elizabeth�察�you had not made a point of my going to this Ball�察�

I wish you were going instead of me。 Your pleasure would be
greater than mine。 I am a stranger here�察�and know nobody but the
Edwardes�察�my Enjoyment therefore must be very doubtful。 Yours
among all your acquaintance would be certain。!It is not too late
to change。 Very little apology could be requisite to the Edwardes�察�
who must be more glad of your company than of mine�察 �and I
should most readily return to my Father�察�and should not be at all
afraid to drive this quiet old Creature�察 �home。 Your Cloathes I
would undertake to find means of sending to you。¨!`My dearest
Emma¨ cried Elizabeth warmly!`do you think I would do such a
thing�拭 �Not for the Universe!but I shall never forget your
goodnature in proposing it。 You must have a sweet temper
indeed�察�I never met with any thing like it� �And would you really
give up the Ball�察 �that I might be able to go to it� �Believe me
Emma�察 �I am not so selfish as that comes to。 No�察 �tho¨ I am nine
years older than you are�察�I would not be the means of keeping you
from being seen。!You are very pretty�察�and it would be very hard
that you should not have as fair a chance as we have all had�察 �to
make your fortune。!No Emma�察 �whoever stays at home this
winter�察�it shan¨t be you。 I am sure I should never have forgiven the
person who kept me from a Ball at nineteen。¨ Emma expressed her
gratitude�察 �and for a few minutes they jogged on in silence。!
Elizabeth first spoke。!`You will take notice who Mary Edwardes
dances with。¨!`I will remember her partners if I can!but you
know they will be all strangers to me。¨ `Only observe whether she
dances with Captain Hunter�察�more than once�察�I have my fears in
that quarter。 Not that her Father or Mother like officers�察�but if she
does you know�察�it is all over with poor Sam。!And I have promised
to write him word who she dances with。¨ `Is Sam attached to Miss

Edwardes�拭�!`Did not you know that�拭�!`How should I know it�拭�
How should I know in Shropshire�察�what is passing of that nature
in Surry�拭 �It is not likely that circumstances of such delicacy
should make any part of the scanty communication which passed
between you and me for the last fourteen years。¨ `I wonder I never
mentioned it when I wrote。 Since you have been at home�察�I have
been so busy with my poor Father and our great wash that I have
had no leisure to tell you anything!but indeed I concluded you
knew it all。!He has been very much in love with her these two
years�察 �and it is a great disappointment to him that he cannot
always get away to our Balls!but Mr。 Curtis won¨t often spare
him�察�and just now it is a sickly time at Guilford!¨ `Do you suppose
Miss Edwardes inclined to like him�拭� `I am afraid not�此 �You know
she is an only Child�察�and will have at least ten thousand pounds。¨!
`But still she may like our Brother。¨ `Oh� �no !。 The Edwardes look
much higher。 Her Father and Mother would never consent to it。
Sam is only a Surgeon you know。!Sometimes I think she does
like him。 But Mary Edwardes is rather prim and reserved�察�I do not
always know what she would be at。¨!`Unless Sam feels on sure
grounds with the Lady herself�察�it seems a pity to me that he should
be encouraged to think of her at all。¨!`A young Man must think of
somebody�察� said Elizabeth!`and why should not he be as lucky as
Robert�察 �who has got a good wife and six thousand pounds�拭� `We
must not all expect to be individually lucky¨ replied Emma。 `The
Luck of one member of a Family is Luck to all。¨ `Mine is all to
come I am sure¨!said Elizabeth giving another sigh to the
remembrance of Purvis。!`I have been unlucky enough�察 �and I
cannot say much for you�察�as my Aunt married again so foolishly。!
Well!you will have a good Ball I dare say。 The next turning will

bring us to the Turnpike。 You may see the Church Tower over the
hedge�察 �and the White Hart is close by it。!I shall long to know
what you think of Tom Musgrave。¨ Such were the last audible
sounds of Miss Watson¨s voice�察 �before they pass
