　　"Thank you, dear Miss Woodhouse, you are all kindness.——It is impossible to say——Yes, indeed, I quite understand——dearest Jane's prospects—— that is, I do not mean.——But she is charmingly recovered.—— How is Mr. Woodhouse?——I am so glad.——Quite out of my power.—— Such a happy little circle as you find us here.——Yes, indeed.—— Charming young man!——that is——so very friendly; I mean good Mr. Perry!—— such attention to Jane!"——And from her great, her more than commonly thankful delight towards Mrs. Elton for being there, Emma guessed that there had been a little show of resentment towards Jane, from the vicarage quarter, which was now graciously overcome.—— After a few whispers, indeed, which placed it beyond a guess, Mrs. Elton, speaking louder, said,

　　"Yes, here I am, my good friend; and here I have been so long, that anywhere else I should think it necessary to apologise; but, the truth is, that I am waiting for my lord and master. He promised to join me here, and pay his respects to you."

　　"What! are we to have the pleasure of a call from Mr. Elton?—— That will be a favour indeed! for I know gentlemen do not like morning visits, and Mr. Elton's time is so engaged."

　　"Upon my word it is, Miss Bates.——He really is engaged from morning to night.——There is no end of people's coming to him, on some pretence or other.——The magistrates, and overseers, and churchwardens, are always wanting his opinion. They seem not able to do any thing without him.——`Upon my word, Mr. E.,' I often say, `rather you than I.—— I do not know what would become of my crayons and my instrument, if I had half so many applicants.'——Bad enough as it is, for I absolutely neglect them both to an unpardonable degree.——I believe I have not played a bar this fortnight.——However, he is coming, I assure you: yes, indeed, on purpose to wait on you all." And putting up her hand to screen her words from Emma——"A congratulatory visit, you know.——Oh! yes, quite indispensable."
