A carriage was heard. He was on the move immediately; but coming back, said,
"I am forgetting that I am not acquainted with her. I have never seen either Mr. or Mrs. Elton. I have no business to put myself forward."
Mr. and Mrs. Elton appeared; and all the smiles and the proprieties passed.

He was immediately qualifying himself to form an opinion, by giving her very proper attention, after the introduction had passed.

"How do you like Mrs. Elton?" said Emma in a whisper.
