　　Miss Bates looked about her, so happily!——

　　"He promised to come to me as soon as he could disengage himself from Knightley; but he and Knightley are shut up together in deep consultation.——Mr. E. is Knightley's right hand."

　　Emma would not have smiled for the world, and only said, "Is Mr. Elton gone on foot to Donwell?——He will have a hot walk."

　　"Oh! no, it is a meeting at the Crown, a regular meeting. Weston and Cole will be there too; but one is apt to speak only of those who lead.——I fancy Mr. E. and Knightley have every thing their own way."

　　"Have not you mistaken the day?" said Emma. "I am almost certain that the meeting at the Crown is not till to-morrow.——Mr. Knightley was at Hartfield yesterday, and spoke of it as for Saturday."

　　"Oh! no, the meeting is certainly to-day," was the abrupt answer, which denoted the impossibility of any blunder on Mrs. Elton's side.—— "I do believe," she continued, "this is the most troublesome parish that ever was. We never heard of such things at Maple Grove."

　　"But it is proved by the smallness of the school, which I have heard you speak of, as under the patronage of your sister and Mrs. Bragge; the only school, and not more than five-and-twenty children."

　　"Ah! you clever creature, that's very true. What a thinking brain you have! I say, Jane, what a perfect character you and I should make, if we could be shaken together. My liveliness and your solidity would produce perfection.——Not that I presume to insinuate, however, that some people may not think you perfection already.——But hush!—— not a word, if you please."

　　Mr. Elton made his appearance. His lady greeted him with some of her sparkling vivacity.
