Chapter IV Harriet Smith's intimacy at Hartfield was soon a settled thing. | CB-EM-04-01.wav | |
As a walking companion, Emma had very early foreseen how useful she might find her. | CB-EM-04-04.wav | |
In that respect Mrs. Weston's loss had been important. | CB-EM-04-05.wav | |
Her father never went beyond the shrubbery, where two divisions of the ground sufficed him for his long walk, or his short, as the year varied; | CB-EM-04-06.wav | |
and since Mrs. Weston's marriage her exercise had been too much confined. | CB-EM-04-07.wav | |
She had ventured once alone to Randalls, but it was not pleasant; | CB-EM-04-08.wav | |
But in every respect, as she saw more of her, she approved her, and was confirmed in all her kind designs. | CB-EM-04-10.wav | |
"Six years hence!" | CB-EM-04-100.wav | |
Mr. Martin, I imagine, has his fortune entirely to make--cannot be at all beforehand with the world. | CB-EM-04-103.wav | |
"and though, with diligence and good luck, he may be rich in time, it is next to impossible that he should have realised any thing yet." | CB-EM-04-105.wav | |
But they live very comfortably. | CB-EM-04-107.wav | |
They have no indoors man, else they do not want for any thing; | CB-EM-04-108.wav | |
"I wish you may not get into a scrape, Harriet, whenever he does marry;" | CB-EM-04-110.wav | |
The misfortune of your birth ought to make you particularly careful as to your associates. | CB-EM-04-112.wav | |
"Yes, to be sure, I suppose there are." | CB-EM-04-114.wav | |
"But while I visit at Hartfield, and you are so kind to me, Miss Woodhouse, I am not afraid of what any body can do." | CB-EM-04-115.wav | |
"You understand the force of influence pretty well, Harriet;" | CB-EM-04-116.wav | |
I shall always have a great regard for the Miss Martins, especially Elizabeth, and should be very sorry to give them up, for they are quite as well educated as me. | CB-EM-04-123.wav | |
He was on foot, and after looking very respectfully at her, looked with most unfeigned satisfaction at her companion. | CB-EM-04-128.wav | |
Emma was not sorry to have such an opportunity of survey; | CB-EM-04-129.wav | |
and when he came to be contrasted with gentlemen, she thought he must lose all the ground he had gained in Harriet's inclination. | CB-EM-04-132.wav | |
Harriet was not insensible of manner; | CB-EM-04-133.wav | |
and Harriet then came running to her with a smiling face, and in a flutter of spirits, which Miss Woodhouse hoped very soon to compose. | CB-EM-04-137.wav | |
Altogether she was quite convinced of Harriet Smith's being exactly the young friend she wanted--exactly the something which her home required. | CB-EM-04-14.wav | |
He was so busy the last time he was at Kingston that he quite forgot it, but he goes again to-morrow. | CB-EM-04-144.wav | |
"He is very plain, undoubtedly--remarkably plain:--but that is nothing compared with his entire want of gentility." | CB-EM-04-149.wav | |
Such a friend as Mrs. Weston was out of the question. | CB-EM-04-15.wav | |
"To be sure," said Harriet, in a mortified voice, "he is not so genteel as real gentlemen." | CB-EM-04-153.wav | |
Were not you struck? | CB-EM-04-158.wav | |
He has not such a fine air and way of walking as Mr. Knightley. | CB-EM-04-161.wav | |
I see the difference plain enough. | CB-EM-04-162.wav | |
"But Mr. Knightley is so very fine a man!" | CB-EM-04-163.wav | |
Compare their manner of carrying themselves; | CB-EM-04-169.wav | |
of walking; | CB-EM-04-170.wav | |
"You must see the difference." | CB-EM-04-173.wav | |
But Mr. Weston is almost an old man. | CB-EM-04-176.wav | |
"Mr. Weston must be between forty and fifty." | CB-EM-04-177.wav | |
It was quite a different sort of thing, a sentiment distinct and independent. | CB-EM-04-18.wav | |
What is passable in youth is detestable in later age. | CB-EM-04-181.wav | |
"There is no saying, indeed," replied Harriet rather solemnly. | CB-EM-04-184.wav | |
"He will be a completely gross, vulgar farmer, totally inattentive to appearances, and thinking of nothing but profit and loss." | CB-EM-04-186.wav | |
"Will he, indeed?" | CB-EM-04-187.wav | |
"How much his business engrosses him already is very plain from the circumstance of his forgetting to inquire for the book you recommended." | CB-EM-04-189.wav | |
Mrs. Weston was the object of a regard which had its basis in gratitude and esteem. | CB-EM-04-19.wav | |
What has he to do with books? | CB-EM-04-191.wav | |
Her next beginning was, "In one respect, perhaps, Mr. Elton's manners are superior to Mr. Knightley's or Mr. Weston's." | CB-EM-04-195.wav | |
Harriet would be loved as one to whom she could be useful. | CB-EM-04-20.wav | |
Mr. Elton is good-humoured, cheerful, obliging, and gentle. | CB-EM-04-203.wav | |
For Mrs. Weston there was nothing to be done; | CB-EM-04-21.wav | |
for though the vicarage of Highbury was not large, he was known to have some independent property; | CB-EM-04-219.wav | |
and she thought very highly of him as a good-humoured, well-meaning, respectable young man, without any deficiency of useful understanding or knowledge of the world. | CB-EM-04-220.wav | |
She had already satisfied herself that he thought Harriet a beautiful girl, which she trusted, with such frequent meetings at Hartfield, was foundation enough on his side; | CB-EM-04-221.wav | |
and on Harriet's there could be little doubt that the idea of being preferred by him would have all the usual weight and efficacy. | CB-EM-04-222.wav | |
Emma was obliged to fancy what she liked--but she could never believe that in the same situation she should not have discovered the truth. | CB-EM-04-25.wav | |
But the Martins occupied her thoughts a good deal; | CB-EM-04-30.wav | |
she had spent two very happy months with them, and now loved to talk of the pleasures of her visit, and describe the many comforts and wonders of the place. | CB-EM-04-31.wav | |
and of Mrs. Martin's saying as she was so fond of it, it should be called her cow; | CB-EM-04-36.wav | |
but as she came to understand the family better, other feelings arose. | CB-EM-04-39.wav | |
She had taken up a wrong idea, fancying it was a mother and daughter, a son and son's wife, who all lived together; | CB-EM-04-40.wav | |
that there was no young Mrs. Martin, no wife in the case; | CB-EM-04-42.wav | |
With this inspiriting notion, her questions increased in number and meaning; | CB-EM-04-44.wav | |
He could sing a little himself. | CB-EM-04-51.wav | |
He had a very fine flock, and, while she was with them, he had been bid more for his wool than any body in the country. | CB-EM-04-53.wav | |
His mother and sisters were very fond of him. | CB-EM-04-55.wav | |
"And when she had come away, Mrs. Martin was so very kind as to send Mrs. Goddard a beautiful goose--the finest goose Mrs. Goddard had ever seen." | CB-EM-04-62.wav | |
"Mrs. Goddard had dressed it on a Sunday, and asked all the three teachers, Miss Nash, and Miss Prince, and Miss Richardson, to sup with her." | CB-EM-04-63.wav | |
He reads the Agricultural Reports, and some other books that lay in one of the window seats--but he reads all them to himself. | CB-EM-04-68.wav | |
But sometimes of an evening, before we went to cards, he would read something aloud out of the Elegant Extracts, very entertaining. | CB-EM-04-69.wav | |
I thought him very plain at first, but I do not think him so plain now. | CB-EM-04-76.wav | |
One does not, you know, after a time. | CB-EM-04-77.wav | |
The yeomanry are precisely the order of people with whom I feel I can have nothing to do. | CB-EM-04-83.wav | |
A degree or two lower, and a creditable appearance might interest me; | CB-EM-04-84.wav | |
His mother is perfectly right not to be in a hurry. | CB-EM-04-97.wav | |
They seem very comfortable as they are, and if she were to take any pains to marry him, she would probably repent it. | CB-EM-04-98.wav | |
"Six years hence, if he could meet with a good sort of young woman in the same rank as his own, with a little money, it might be very desirable." | CB-EM-04-99.wav | |
Chapter V "I do not know what your opinion may be, Mrs. Weston," said Mr. Knightley, "of this great intimacy between Emma and Harriet Smith, but I think it a bad thing." | CB-EM-05-01.wav | |
"A bad thing!" | CB-EM-05-02.wav | |
Emma must do Harriet good: and by supplying her with a new object of interest, Harriet may be said to do Emma good. | CB-EM-05-07.wav | |
How very differently we feel! | CB-EM-05-09.wav | |
Considering how very handsome she is, she appears to be little occupied with it; | CB-EM-05-104.wav | |
With all dear Emma's little faults, she is an excellent creature. | CB-EM-05-108.wav | |
she has qualities which may be trusted; | CB-EM-05-111.wav | |
she will make no lasting blunder; | CB-EM-05-113.wav | |
John loves Emma with a reasonable and therefore not a blind affection, and Isabella always thinks as he does; | CB-EM-05-118.wav | |
"I am much obliged to you for it." | CB-EM-05-127.wav | |
There were wishes at Randalls respecting Emma's destiny, but it was not desirable to have them suspected; | CB-EM-05-151.wav | |
and the quiet transition which Mr. Knightley soon afterwards made to "What does Weston think of the weather;" | CB-EM-05-152.wav | |
"shall we have rain?" | CB-EM-05-153.wav | |
convinced her that he had nothing more to say or surmise about Hartfield. | CB-EM-05-154.wav | |
But I have done with expecting any course of steady reading from Emma. | CB-EM-05-27.wav | |
"but since we have parted, I can never remember Emma's omitting to do any thing I wished." | CB-EM-05-33.wav | |
and for a moment or two he had done. | CB-EM-05-35.wav | |
"But I," he soon added, "who have had no such charm thrown over my senses, must still see, hear, and remember." | CB-EM-05-36.wav | |
She was always quick and assured: Isabella slow and diffident. | CB-EM-05-39.wav | |
You might not give Emma such a complete education as your powers would seem to promise; | CB-EM-05-50.wav | |
but you were receiving a very good education from her, on the very material matrimonial point of submitting your own will, and doing as you were bid; | CB-EM-05-51.wav | |
"There will be very little merit in making a good wife to such a man as Mr. Weston." | CB-EM-05-54.wav | |
"Why, to own the truth, I am afraid you are rather thrown away, and that with every disposition to bear, there will be nothing to be borne." | CB-EM-05-55.wav | |
"Weston may grow cross from the wantonness of comfort, or his son may plague him." | CB-EM-05-57.wav | |
She knows nothing herself, and looks upon Emma as knowing every thing. | CB-EM-05-67.wav |
