CHAPTER XVI
Every body in and about Highbury who had ever visited Mr. Elton, was disposed to pay him attention on his marriage. Dinner-parties and evening-parties were made for him and his lady; and invitations flowed in so fast that she had soon the pleasure of apprehending they were never to have a disengaged day.
"I see how it is," said she. "I see what a life I am to lead among you. Upon my word we shall be absolutely dissipated. We really seem quite the fashion. If this is living in the country, it is nothing very formidable. From Monday next to Saturday, I assure you we have not a disengaged day!——A woman with fewer resources than I have, need not have been at a loss."
"This is very true," said she, "at least as far as relates to me, which was all that was meant——and it is very shameful.——Of the same age—— and always knowing her——I ought to have been more her friend.—— She will never like me now. I have neglected her too long. But I will shew her greater attention than I have done."
