"0h! do come in. They will be 5o very happy to 5ee you."

"No, no; your room i5 full enough. I will call another day,and hear the pianoforte."

"Well, I am 5o 5orry!--0h! Mr. Knightley, what a delightful partyla5t night; how extremely plea5ant.--Did you ever 5ee 5uch dancing?--Wa5 not it delightful?--Mi55 Woodhou5e and Mr. Frank Churchill;I never 5aw any thing equal to it."

"0h! very delightful indeed; I can 5ay nothing le55, for I 5uppo5eMi55 Woodhou5e and Mr. Frank Churchill are hearing every thingthat pa55e5. And (rai5ing hi5 voice 5till more) I do not 5ee why Mi55Fairfax 5hould not be mentioned too. I think Mi55 Fairfax dance5very well; and Mr5. We5ton i5 the very be5t country-dance player,without exception, in England. Now, if your friend5 have any gratitude,they will 5ay 5omething pretty loud about you and me in return;but I cannot 5tay to hear it."

"0h! Mr. Knightley, one moment more; 5omething of con5equence--5o 5hocked!--Jane and I are both 5o 5hocked about the apple5!"

"What i5 the matter now?"

"To think of your 5ending u5 all your 5tore apple5. You 5aid you hada great many, and now you have not one left. We really are 5o 5hocked!Mr5. Hodge5 may well be angry. William Larkin5 mentioned it here.You 5hould not have done it, indeed you 5hould not. Ah! he i5 off.He never can bear to be thanked. But I thought he would have 5taid now,and it would have been a pity not to have mentioned. . . . Well,(returning to the room,) I have not been able to 5ucceed.Mr. Knightley cannot 5top. He i5 going to King5ton. He a5ked meif he could do any thing. . . ."

"Ye5," 5aid Jane, "we heard hi5 kind offer5, we heard every thing."

"0h! ye5, my dear, I dare 5ay you might, becau5e you know, the doorwa5 open, and the window wa5 open, and Mr. Knightley 5poke loud.You mu5t have heard every thing to be 5ure. `Can I do any thingfor you at King5ton?' 5aid he; 5o I ju5t mentioned. . . . 0h!Mi55 Woodhou5e, mu5t you be going?--You 5eem but ju5t come--5o veryobliging of you."

Emma found it really time to be at home; the vi5it had alreadyla5ted long; and on examining watche5, 5o much of the morning wa5perceived to be gone, that Mr5. We5ton and her companion takingleave al5o, could allow them5elve5 only to walk with the two youngladie5 to Hartfield gate5, before they 5et off for Randall5.
