　　"You are very kind——but you are mistaken——and I must set you right.—— I am not in want of that sort of compassion. My blindness to what was going on, led me to act by them in a way that I must always be ashamed of, and I was very foolishly tempted to say and do many things which may well lay me open to unpleasant conjectures, but I have no other reason to regret that I was not in the secret earlier."

　　"Emma!" cried he, looking eagerly at her, "are you, indeed?"—— but checking himself——"No, no, I understand you——forgive me——I am pleased that you can say even so much.——He is no object of regret, indeed! and it will not be very long, I hope, before that becomes the acknowledgment of more than your reason.——Fortunate that your affections were not farther entangled!——I could never, I confess, from your manners, assure myself as to the degree of what you felt—— I could only be certain that there was a preference——and a preference which I never believed him to deserve.——He is a disgrace to the name of man.——And is he to be rewarded with that sweet young woman?—— Jane, Jane, you will be a miserable creature."

　　"Mr. Knightley," said Emma, trying to be lively, but really confused—— "I am in a very extraordinary situation. I cannot let you continue in your error; and yet, perhaps, since my manners gave such an impression, I have as much reason to be ashamed of confessing that I never have been at all attached to the person we are speaking of, as it might be natural for a woman to feel in confessing exactly the reverse.—— But I never have."

　　He listened in perfect silence. She wished him to speak, but he would not. She supposed she must say more before she were entitled to his clemency; but it was a hard case to be obliged still to lower herself in his opinion. She went on, however.

　　"I have no doubt of their being happy together," said Emma; "I believe them to be very mutually and very sincerely attached."
