"Mrs. Cole has servants to send. Can I do any thing for you?"
"No, I thank you. But do come in. Who do you think is here?—— Miss Woodhouse and Miss Smith; so kind as to call to hear the new pianoforte. Do put up your horse at the Crown, and come in."
"Well," said he, in a deliberating manner, "for five minutes, perhaps."
"And here is Mrs. Weston and Mr. Frank Churchill too!——Quite delightful; so many friends!"
"No, not now, I thank you. I could not stay two minutes. I must get on to Kingston as fast as I can."
"Oh! do come in. They will be so very happy to see you."
"No, no; your room is full enough. I will call another day, and hear the pianoforte."
"Well, I am so sorry!——Oh! Mr. Knightley, what a delightful party last night; how extremely pleasant.——Did you ever see such dancing?—— Was not it delightful?——Miss Woodhouse and Mr. Frank Churchill; I never saw any thing equal to it."
"Oh! Mr. Knightley, one moment more; something of consequence—— so shocked!——Jane and I are both so shocked about the apples!"
