	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
	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
	It was a happy circumstance, and animated Mr. Woodhouse for some time.	CB-EM-01-102.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
	It is a beautiful moonlight night;	CB-EM-01-107.wav
	highly esteeming Miss Taylor's judgment, but directed chiefly by her own.	CB-EM-01-11.wav
	that is quite surprising, for we have had a vast deal of rain here.	CB-EM-01-115.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
	"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
	"Especially when one of those two is such a fanciful, troublesome creature!"	CB-EM-01-131.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
	What a horrible idea!	CB-EM-01-138.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
	"Well," said Emma, willing to let it pass--"you want to hear about the wedding;"	CB-EM-01-148.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 promise you to make none for myself, papa;"	CB-EM-01-168.wav
	It was Miss Taylor's loss which first brought grief.	CB-EM-01-17.wav
	And after such success, you know!	CB-EM-01-171.wav
	All manner of solemn nonsense was talked on the subject, but I believed none of it.	CB-EM-01-178.wav
	"I do not understand what you mean by 'success,'" said Mr. Knightley.	CB-EM-01-182.wav
	You made a lucky guess;	CB-EM-01-189.wav
	The wedding over, and the bride-people gone, her father and herself were left to dine together, with no prospect of a third to cheer a long evening.	CB-EM-01-19.wav
	"And have you never known the pleasure and triumph of a lucky guess?"	CB-EM-01-191.wav
	I pity you.	CB-EM-01-192.wav
	If I had not promoted Mr. Weston's visits here, and given many little encouragements, and smoothed many little matters, it might not have come to any thing after all.	CB-EM-01-198.wav
	"You are more likely to have done harm to yourself, than good to them, by interference."	CB-EM-01-201.wav
	You like Mr. Elton, papa,--I must look about for a wife for him.	CB-EM-01-208.wav
	"I dare say Mr. Knightley will be so kind as to meet him."	CB-EM-01-214.wav
	"With a great deal of pleasure, sir, at any time," said Mr. Knightley, laughing, "and I agree with you entirely, that it will be a much better thing."	CB-EM-01-215.wav
	but it was a black morning's work for her.	CB-EM-01-24.wav
	How was she to bear the change?	CB-EM-01-30.wav
	She dearly loved her father, but he was no companion for her.	CB-EM-01-34.wav
	The evil of the actual disparity in their ages (and Mr. Woodhouse had not married early) was much increased by his constitution and habits;	CB-EM-01-36.wav
	Her sister, though comparatively but little removed by matrimony, being settled in London, only sixteen miles off, was much beyond her daily reach;	CB-EM-01-39.wav
	His spirits required support.	CB-EM-01-47.wav
	hating change of every kind.	CB-EM-01-50.wav
	but when tea came, it was impossible for him not to say exactly as he had said at dinner, "Poor Miss Taylor!"	CB-EM-01-55.wav
	"What a pity it is that Mr. Weston ever thought of her!"	CB-EM-01-57.wav
	"I cannot agree with you, papa;"	CB-EM-01-58.wav
	you know I cannot.	CB-EM-01-59.wav
	Mr. Weston is such a good-humoured, pleasant, excellent man, that he thoroughly deserves a good wife;	CB-EM-01-60.wav
	"How often we shall be going to see them, and they coming to see us!"	CB-EM-01-66.wav
	"No, papa, nobody thought of your walking."	CB-EM-01-73.wav
	"We must go in the carriage, to be sure."	CB-EM-01-74.wav
	"The carriage!"	CB-EM-01-75.wav
	"They are to be put into Mr. Weston's stable, papa."	CB-EM-01-78.wav
	We talked it all over with Mr. Weston last night.	CB-EM-01-80.wav
	He quitted the militia and engaged in trade, having brothers already established in a good way in London, which afforded him a favourable opening.	CB-EM-02-19.wav
	He had still a small house in Highbury, where most of his leisure days were spent;	CB-EM-02-21.wav
	and was beginning a new period of existence, with every probability of greater happiness than in any yet passed through.	CB-EM-02-28.wav
	He had never been an unhappy man;	CB-EM-02-29.wav
	his own temper had secured him from that, even in his first marriage;	CB-EM-02-30.wav
	It was most unlikely, therefore, that he should ever want his father's assistance.	CB-EM-02-34.wav
	The aunt was a capricious woman, and governed her husband entirely;	CB-EM-02-36.wav
	but it was not in Mr. Weston's nature to imagine that any caprice could be strong enough to affect one so dear, and, as he believed, so deservedly dear.	CB-EM-02-37.wav
	Now was the time for Mr. Frank Churchill to come among them;	CB-EM-02-45.wav
	Mr. Woodhouse told me of it.	CB-EM-02-50.wav
	It was, indeed, a highly prized letter.	CB-EM-02-52.wav
	She felt herself a most fortunate woman;	CB-EM-02-55.wav
	Her situation was altogether the subject of hours of gratitude to Mrs. Weston, and of moments only of regret;	CB-EM-02-61.wav
	There was no recovering Miss Taylor--nor much likelihood of ceasing to pity her;	CB-EM-02-65.wav
	and he had, therefore, earnestly tried to dissuade them from having any wedding-cake at all, and when that proved vain, as earnestly tried to prevent any body's eating it.	CB-EM-02-72.wav
	Mr. Perry was an intelligent, gentlemanlike man, whose frequent visits were one of the comforts of Mr. Woodhouse's life;	CB-EM-02-74.wav
	With such an opinion, in confirmation of his own, Mr. Woodhouse hoped to influence every visitor of the newly married pair;	CB-EM-02-76.wav
	Chapter III Mr. Woodhouse was fond of society in his own way.	CB-EM-03-01.wav
	He had not much intercourse with any families beyond that circle;	CB-EM-03-04.wav
	Not unfrequently, through Emma's persuasion, he had some of the chosen and the best to dine with him: but evening parties were what he preferred;	CB-EM-03-07.wav
	Her daughter enjoyed a most uncommon degree of popularity for a woman neither young, handsome, rich, nor married.	CB-EM-03-16.wav
	Her youth had passed without distinction, and her middle of life was devoted to the care of a failing mother, and the endeavour to make a small income go as far as possible.	CB-EM-03-20.wav
	And yet she was a happy woman, and a woman whom no one named without good-will.	CB-EM-03-21.wav
	thought herself a most fortunate creature, and surrounded with blessings in such an excellent mother, and so many good neighbours and friends, and a home that wanted for nothing.	CB-EM-03-24.wav
	The simplicity and cheerfulness of her nature, her contented and grateful spirit, were a recommendation to every body, and a mine of felicity to herself.	CB-EM-03-25.wav
	She was a great talker upon little matters, which exactly suited Mr. Woodhouse, full of trivial communications and harmless gossip.	CB-EM-03-26.wav
	Mrs. Goddard's school was in high repute--and very deservedly;	CB-EM-03-28.wav
	but the quiet prosings of three such women made her feel that every evening so spent was indeed one of the long evenings she had fearfully anticipated.	CB-EM-03-37.wav
	A very gracious invitation was returned, and the evening no longer dreaded by the fair mistress of the mansion.	CB-EM-03-40.wav
	She was a very pretty girl, and her beauty happened to be of a sort which Emma particularly admired.	CB-EM-03-45.wav
	The friends from whom she had just parted, though very good sort of people, must be doing her harm.	CB-EM-03-51.wav
	she would detach her from her bad acquaintance, and introduce her into good society;	CB-EM-03-55.wav
	she would form her opinions and her manners.	CB-EM-03-56.wav
	It would be an interesting, and certainly a very kind undertaking;	CB-EM-03-57.wav
	highly becoming her own situation in life, her leisure, and powers.	CB-EM-03-58.wav
	Upon such occasions poor Mr. Woodhouse's feelings were in sad warfare.	CB-EM-03-62.wav
	and while his hospitality would have welcomed his visitors to every thing, his care for their health made him grieve that they would eat.	CB-EM-03-64.wav
	though he might constrain himself, while the ladies were comfortably clearing the nicer things, to say: "Mrs. Bates, let me propose your venturing on one of these eggs."	CB-EM-03-66.wav
	Ours are all apple-tarts.	CB-EM-03-72.wav
	You need not be afraid of unwholesome preserves here.	CB-EM-03-73.wav
	I do not advise the custard.	CB-EM-03-74.wav
	Mrs. Goddard, what say you to half a glass of wine?	CB-EM-03-75.wav
	Emma allowed her father to talk--but supplied her visitors in a much more satisfactory style, and on the present evening had particular pleasure in sending them away happy.	CB-EM-03-78.wav

CB-EM-01-126.wav

I have a great regard for you and Emma;

CB-EM-01-128.wav

CB-EM-01-129.wav

The wedding over, and the bride-people gone, her father and herself were left to dine together, with no prospect of a third to cheer a long evening.

CB-EM-01-19.wav

"What a pity it is that Mr. Weston ever thought of her!"

CB-EM-01-57.wav

CB-EM-01-58.wav

you know I cannot.
