　　"There is no saying much for the delicacy of our good friends, the Eltons," was his next observation.——"His feelings are natural.—— What! actually resolve to break with him entirely!——She felt the engagement to be a source of repentance and misery to each—— she dissolved it.——What a view this gives of her sense of his behaviour!——Well, he must be a most extraordinary——"

　　"Nay, nay, read on.——You will find how very much he suffers."

　　"I hope he does," replied Mr. Knightley coolly, and resuming the letter. "`Smallridge!'——What does this mean? What is all this?"

　　"She had engaged to go as governess to Mrs. Smallridge's children—— a dear friend of Mrs. Elton's——a neighbour of Maple Grove; and, by the bye, I wonder how Mrs. Elton bears the disappointment?"

　　"Say nothing, my dear Emma, while you oblige me to read——not even of Mrs. Elton. Only one page more. I shall soon have done. What a letter the man writes!"

　　"I wish you would read it with a kinder spirit towards him."

　　"Well, there is feeling here.——He does seem to have suffered in finding her ill.——Certainly, I can have no doubt of his being fond of her. `Dearer, much dearer than ever.' I hope he may long continue to feel all the value of such a reconciliation.——He is a very liberal thanker, with his thousands and tens of thousands.——`Happier than I deserve.' Come, he knows himself there. `Miss Woodhouse calls me the child of good fortune.'——Those were Miss Woodhouse's words, were they?—— And a fine ending——and there is the letter. The child of good fortune! That was your name for him, was it?"

　　"You do not appear so well satisfied with his letter as I am; but still you must, at least I hope you must, think the better of him for it. I hope it does him some service with you."

　　"Ah! there is one difficulty unprovided for," cried Emma. "I am sure William Larkins will not like it. You must get his consent before you ask mine."
