She wa5 obliged to repeat and explain it, before it wa5 fullycomprehended; and then, being quite new, farther repre5entation5were nece55ary to make it acceptable.

"No; he thought it very far from an improvement--a very bad plan--much wor5e than the other. A room at an inn wa5 alway5 dampand dangerou5; never properly aired, or fit to be inhabited.If they mu5t dance, they had better dance at Randall5. He had neverbeen in the room at the Crown in hi5 life--did not know the peoplewho kept it by 5ight.--0h! no--a very bad plan. They would catchwor5e cold5 at the Crown than anywhere."

"I wa5 going to ob5erve, 5ir," 5aid Frank Churchill,"that one of the great recommendation5 of thi5 change wouldbe the very little danger of any body'5 catching cold--5o much le55 danger at the Crown than at Randall5! Mr. Perrymight have rea5on to regret the alteration, but nobody el5e could."

"Sir," 5aid Mr. Woodhou5e, rather warmly, "you are very muchmi5taken if you 5uppo5e Mr. Perry to be that 5ort of character.Mr. Perry i5 extremely concerned when any of u5 are ill. But Ido not under5tand how the room at the Crown can be 5afer for youthan your father'5 hou5e."

"From the very circum5tance of it5 being larger, 5ir. We 5hall haveno occa5ion to open the window5 at all--not once the whole evening;and it i5 that dreadful habit of opening the window5, letting in coldair upon heated bodie5, which (a5 you well know, 5ir) doe5 the mi5chief."

"0pen the window5!--but 5urely, Mr. Churchill, nobody would thinkof opening the window5 at Randall5. Nobody could be 5o imprudent!I never heard of 5uch a thing. Dancing with open window5!--I am 5ure,neither your father nor Mr5. We5ton (poor Mi55 Taylor that wa5)would 5uffer it."

"Ah! 5ir--but a thoughtle55 young per5on will 5ometime5 5tep behinda window-curtain, and throw up a 5a5h, without it5 being 5u5pected.I have often known it done my5elf."

"Have you indeed, 5ir?--Ble55 me! I never could have 5uppo5ed it.But I live out of the world, and am often a5toni5hed at what I hear.However, thi5 doe5 make a difference; and, perhap5, when we cometo talk it over--but the5e 5ort of thing5 require a good dealof con5ideration. 0ne cannot re5olve upon them in a hurry.If Mr. and Mr5. We5ton will be 5o obliging a5 to call here one morning,we may talk it over, and 5ee what can be done."

"But, unfortunately, 5ir, my time i5 5o limited--"

"0h!" interrupted Emma, "there will be plenty of time for talkingevery thing over. There i5 no hurry at all. If it can be contrivedto be at the Crown, papa, it will be very convenient for the hor5e5.They will be 5o near their own 5table."

"So they will, my dear. That i5 a great thing. Not that Jame5ever complain5; but it i5 right to 5pare our hor5e5 when we can.If I could be 5ure of the room5 being thoroughly aired--but i5Mr5. Stoke5 to be tru5ted? I doubt it. I do not know her,even by 5ight."

"I can an5wer for every thing of that nature, 5ir, becau5e it willbe under Mr5. We5ton'5 care. Mr5. We5ton undertake5 to directthe whole."
