and had lived nearly twenty-one years in the world with very little to distress or vex her. | CB-EM-01-02.wav | |
She was the youngest of the two daughters of a most affectionate, indulgent father; | CB-EM-01-03.wav | |
and had, in consequence of her sister's marriage, been mistress of his house from a very early period. | CB-EM-01-04.wav | |
Her mother had died too long ago for her to have more than an indistinct remembrance of her caresses; | CB-EM-01-05.wav | |
and her place had been supplied by an excellent woman as governess, who had fallen little short of a mother in affection. | CB-EM-01-06.wav | |
Sixteen years had Miss Taylor been in Mr. Woodhouse's family, less as a governess than a friend, very fond of both daughters, but particularly of Emma. | CB-EM-01-07.wav | |
Between them it was more the intimacy of sisters. | CB-EM-01-08.wav | |
Even before Miss Taylor had ceased to hold the nominal office of governess, the mildness of her temper had hardly allowed her to impose any restraint; | CB-EM-01-09.wav | |
and the shadow of authority being now long passed away, they had been living together as friend and friend very mutually attached, and Emma doing just what she liked; | CB-EM-01-10.wav | |
He had returned to a late dinner, after some days' absence, and now walked up to Hartfield to say that all were well in Brunswick Square. | CB-EM-01-101.wav | |
It was a happy circumstance, and animated Mr. Woodhouse for some time. | CB-EM-01-102.wav | |
Mr. Knightley had a cheerful manner, which always did him good; | CB-EM-01-103.wav | |
and his many inquiries after "poor Isabella" and her children were answered most satisfactorily. | CB-EM-01-104.wav | |
When this was over, Mr. Woodhouse gratefully observed, "It is very kind of you, Mr. Knightley, to come out at this late hour to call upon us." | CB-EM-01-105.wav | |
"I am afraid you must have had a shocking walk." | CB-EM-01-106.wav | |
It is a beautiful moonlight night; | CB-EM-01-107.wav | |
"and so mild that I must draw back from your great fire." | CB-EM-01-108.wav | |
"But you must have found it very damp and dirty." | CB-EM-01-109.wav | |
highly esteeming Miss Taylor's judgment, but directed chiefly by her own. | CB-EM-01-11.wav | |
"I wish you may not catch cold." | CB-EM-01-110.wav | |
"Dirty, sir!" | CB-EM-01-111.wav | |
Look at my shoes. | CB-EM-01-112.wav | |
"Not a speck on them." | CB-EM-01-113.wav | |
"Well!" | CB-EM-01-114.wav | |
that is quite surprising, for we have had a vast deal of rain here. | CB-EM-01-115.wav | |
It rained dreadfully hard for half an hour while we were at breakfast. | CB-EM-01-116.wav | |
"I wanted them to put off the wedding." | CB-EM-01-117.wav | |
"By the bye--I have not wished you joy." | CB-EM-01-118.wav | |
Being pretty well aware of what sort of joy you must both be feeling, I have been in no hurry with my congratulations; | CB-EM-01-119.wav | |
The real evils, indeed, of Emma's situation were the power of having rather too much her own way, and a disposition to think a little too well of herself; | CB-EM-01-12.wav | |
but I hope it all went off tolerably well. | CB-EM-01-120.wav | |
How did you all behave? | CB-EM-01-121.wav | |
"Who cried most?" | CB-EM-01-122.wav | |
"Ah!" | CB-EM-01-123.wav | |
poor Miss Taylor! | CB-EM-01-124.wav | |
"Tis a sad business." | CB-EM-01-125.wav | |
"Poor Mr. and Miss Woodhouse, if you please;" | CB-EM-01-126.wav | |
but I cannot possibly say 'poor Miss Taylor. | CB-EM-01-127.wav | |
I have a great regard for you and Emma; | CB-EM-01-128.wav | |
but when it comes to the question of dependence or independence! | CB-EM-01-129.wav | |
these were the disadvantages which threatened alloy to her many enjoyments. | CB-EM-01-13.wav | |
"At any rate, it must be better to have only one to please than two." | CB-EM-01-130.wav | |
"Especially when one of those two is such a fanciful, troublesome creature!" | CB-EM-01-131.wav | |
said Emma playfully. | CB-EM-01-132.wav | |
"That is what you have in your head, I know--and what you would certainly say if my father were not by." | CB-EM-01-133.wav | |
"I believe it is very true, my dear, indeed," said Mr. Woodhouse, with a sigh. | CB-EM-01-134.wav | |
"I am afraid I am sometimes very fanciful and troublesome." | CB-EM-01-135.wav | |
"My dearest papa!" | CB-EM-01-136.wav | |
You do not think I could mean you, or suppose Mr. Knightley to mean you. | CB-EM-01-137.wav | |
What a horrible idea! | CB-EM-01-138.wav | |
Oh no! | CB-EM-01-139.wav | |
The danger, however, was at present so unperceived, that they did not by any means rank as misfortunes with her. | CB-EM-01-14.wav | |
I meant only myself. | CB-EM-01-140.wav | |
Mr. Knightley loves to find fault with me, you know--in a joke--it is all a joke. | CB-EM-01-141.wav | |
"We always say what we like to one another." | CB-EM-01-142.wav | |
"Emma knows I never flatter her," said Mr. Knightley, "but I meant no reflection on any body." | CB-EM-01-144.wav | |
Miss Taylor has been used to have two persons to please; | CB-EM-01-145.wav | |
she will now have but one. | CB-EM-01-146.wav | |
"The chances are that she must be a gainer." | CB-EM-01-147.wav | |
"Well," said Emma, willing to let it pass--"you want to hear about the wedding;" | CB-EM-01-148.wav | |
and I shall be happy to tell you, for we all behaved charmingly. | CB-EM-01-149.wav | |
Sorrow came--a gentle sorrow--but not at all in the shape of any disagreeable consciousness. | CB-EM-01-15.wav | |
Every body was punctual, every body in their best looks: not a tear, and hardly a long face to be seen. | CB-EM-01-150.wav | |
Oh no; | CB-EM-01-151.wav | |
"we all felt that we were going to be only half a mile apart, and were sure of meeting every day." | CB-EM-01-152.wav | |
"Dear Emma bears every thing so well," said her father. | CB-EM-01-153.wav | |
"But, Mr. Knightley, she is really very sorry to lose poor Miss Taylor, and I am sure she will miss her more than she thinks for." | CB-EM-01-154.wav | |
Emma turned away her head, divided between tears and smiles. | CB-EM-01-155.wav | |
"It is impossible that Emma should not miss such a companion," said Mr. Knightley. | CB-EM-01-156.wav | |
"We should not like her so well as we do, sir, if we could suppose it;" | CB-EM-01-157.wav | |
but she knows how much the marriage is to Miss Taylor's advantage; | CB-EM-01-158.wav | |
Miss Taylor married. | CB-EM-01-16.wav | |
"Every friend of Miss Taylor must be glad to have her so happily married." | CB-EM-01-160.wav | |
"And you have forgotten one matter of joy to me," said Emma, "and a very considerable one--that I made the match myself." | CB-EM-01-161.wav | |
I made the match, you know, four years ago; | CB-EM-01-162.wav | |
"and to have it take place, and be proved in the right, when so many people said Mr. Weston would never marry again, may comfort me for any thing." | CB-EM-01-163.wav | |
Mr. Knightley shook his head at her. | CB-EM-01-164.wav | |
Her father fondly replied, "Ah!" | CB-EM-01-165.wav | |
my dear, I wish you would not make matches and foretell things, for whatever you say always comes to pass. | CB-EM-01-166.wav | |
"Pray do not make any more matches." | CB-EM-01-167.wav | |
"I promise you to make none for myself, papa;" | CB-EM-01-168.wav | |
but I must, indeed, for other people. | CB-EM-01-169.wav | |
It was Miss Taylor's loss which first brought grief. | CB-EM-01-17.wav | |
It is the greatest amusement in the world! | CB-EM-01-170.wav | |
And after such success, you know! | CB-EM-01-171.wav | |
Every body said that Mr. Weston would never marry again. | CB-EM-01-172.wav | |
Oh dear, no! | CB-EM-01-173.wav | |
Oh no! | CB-EM-01-175.wav | |
Mr. Weston certainly would never marry again. | CB-EM-01-176.wav | |
Some people even talked of a promise to his wife on her deathbed, and others of the son and the uncle not letting him. | CB-EM-01-177.wav | |
All manner of solemn nonsense was talked on the subject, but I believed none of it. | CB-EM-01-178.wav | |
It was on the wedding-day of this beloved friend that Emma first sat in mournful thought of any continuance. | CB-EM-01-18.wav | |
I planned the match from that hour; | CB-EM-01-180.wav | |
"and when such success has blessed me in this instance, dear papa, you cannot think that I shall leave off match-making." | CB-EM-01-181.wav | |
"I do not understand what you mean by 'success,'" said Mr. Knightley. | CB-EM-01-182.wav | |
"Success supposes endeavour." | CB-EM-01-183.wav | |
Your time has been properly and delicately spent, if you have been endeavouring for the last four years to bring about this marriage. | CB-EM-01-184.wav | |
A worthy employment for a young lady's mind! | CB-EM-01-185.wav | |
Where is your merit? | CB-EM-01-187.wav | |
What are you proud of? | CB-EM-01-188.wav |
