A
week
had
not
passed
since
Miss
Hawkins
's
name
was
first
mentioned
in
Highbury
,
before
she
was
,
by
some
means
or
other
,
discovered
to
have
every
recommendation
of
person
and
mind
;
to
be
handsome
,
elegant
,
highly
accomplished
,
and
perfectly
amiable
:
and
when
Mr.
Elton
himself
arrived
to
triumph
in
his
happy
prospects
,
and
circulate
the
fame
of
her
merits
,
there
was
very
little
more
for
him
to
do
,
than
to
tell
her
Christian
name
,
and
say
whose
music
she
principally
played
.
Mr.
Elton
returned
,
a
very
happy
man
.
He
had
gone
away
rejected
and
mortified
--
disappointed
in
a
very
sanguine
hope
,
after
a
series
of
what
appeared
to
him
strong
encouragement
;
and
not
only
losing
the
right
lady
,
but
finding
himself
debased
to
the
level
of
a
very
wrong
one
.
He
had
gone
away
deeply
offended
--
he
came
back
engaged
to
another
--
and
to
another
as
superior
,
of
course
,
to
the
first
,
as
under
such
circumstances
what
is
gained
always
is
to
what
is
lost
.
He
came
back
gay
and
self-satisfied
,
eager
and
busy
,
caring
nothing
for
Miss
Woodhouse
,
and
defying
Miss
Smith
.
The
charming
Augusta
Hawkins
,
in
addition
to
all
the
usual
advantages
of
perfect
beauty
and
merit
,
was
in
possession
of
an
independent
fortune
,
of
so
many
thousands
as
would
always
be
called
ten
;
a
point
of
some
dignity
,
as
well
as
some
convenience
:
the
story
told
well
;
he
had
not
thrown
himself
away
--
he
had
gained
a
woman
of
10,000
l.
or
thereabouts
;
and
he
had
gained
her
with
such
delightful
rapidity
--
the
first
hour
of
introduction
had
been
so
very
soon
followed
by
distinguishing
notice
;
the
history
which
he
had
to
give
Mrs.
Cole
of
the
rise
and
progress
of
the
affair
was
so
glorious
--
the
steps
so
quick
,
from
the
accidental
rencontre
,
to
the
dinner
at
Mr.
Green
's
,
and
the
party
at
Mrs.
Brown
's
--
smiles
and
blushes
rising
in
importance
--
with
consciousness
and
agitation
richly
scattered
--
the
lady
had
been
so
easily
impressed
--
so
sweetly
disposed
--
had
in
short
,
to
use
a
most
intelligible
phrase
,
been
so
very
ready
to
have
him
,
that
vanity
and
prudence
were
equally
contented
.
He
had
caught
both
substance
and
shadow
--
both
fortune
and
affection
,
and
was
just
the
happy
man
he
ought
to
be
;
talking
only
of
himself
and
his
own
concerns
--
expecting
to
be
congratulated
--
ready
to
be
laughed
at
--
and
,
with
cordial
,
fearless
smiles
,
now
addressing
all
the
young
ladies
of
the
place
,
to
whom
,
a
few
weeks
ago
,
he
would
have
been
more
cautiously
gallant
.
The
wedding
was
no
distant
event
,
as
the
parties
had
only
themselves
to
please
,
and
nothing
but
the
necessary
preparations
to
wait
for
;
and
when
he
set
out
for
Bath
again
,
there
was
a
general
expectation
,
which
a
certain
glance
of
Mrs.
Cole
's
did
not
seem
to
contradict
,
that
when
he
next
entered
Highbury
he
would
bring
his
bride
.
During
his
present
short
stay
,
Emma
had
barely
seen
him
;
but
just
enough
to
feel
that
the
first
meeting
was
over
,
and
to
give
her
the
impression
of
his
not
being
improved
by
the
mixture
of
pique
and
pretension
,
now
spread
over
his
air
.
She
was
,
in
fact
,
beginning
very
much
to
wonder
that
she
had
ever
thought
him
pleasing
at
all
;
and
his
sight
was
so
inseparably
connected
with
some
very
disagreeable
feelings
,
that
,
except
in
a
moral
light
,
as
a
penance
,
a
lesson
,
a
source
of
profitable
humiliation
to
her
own
mind
,
she
would
have
been
thankful
to
be
assured
of
never
seeing
him
again
.
She
wished
him
very
well
;
but
he
gave
her
pain
,
and
his
welfare
twenty
miles
off
would
administer
most
satisfaction
.
The
pain
of
his
continued
residence
in
Highbury
,
however
,
must
certainly
be
lessened
by
his
marriage
.
Many
vain
solicitudes
would
be
prevented
--
many
awkwardnesses
smoothed
by
it
.
A
Mrs.
Elton
would
be
an
excuse
for
any
change
of
intercourse
;
former
intimacy
might
sink
without
remark
.
It
would
be
almost
beginning
their
life
of
civility
again
.
Of
the
lady
,
individually
,
Emma
thought
very
little
.
She
was
good
enough
for
Mr.
Elton
,
no
doubt
;
accomplished
enough
for
Highbury
--
handsome
enough
--
to
look
plain
,
probably
,
by
Harriet
's
side
.
As
to
connexion
,
there
Emma
was
perfectly
easy
;
persuaded
,
that
after
all
his
own
vaunted
claims
and
disdain
of
Harriet
,
he
had
done
nothing
.
On
that
article
,
truth
seemed
attainable
.
What
she
was
,
must
be
uncertain
;
but
who
she
was
,
might
be
found
out
;
and
setting
aside
the
10,000
l.
,
it
did
not
appear
that
she
was
at
all
Harriet
's
superior
.
She
brought
no
name
,
no
blood
,
no
alliance
.
Miss
Hawkins
was
the
youngest
of
the
two
daughters
of
a
Bristol
--
merchant
,
of
course
,
he
must
be
called
;
but
,
as
the
whole
of
the
profits
of
his
mercantile
life
appeared
so
very
moderate
,
it
was
not
unfair
to
guess
the
dignity
of
his
line
of
trade
had
been
very
moderate
also
.
Part
of
every
winter
she
had
been
used
to
spend
in
Bath
;
but
Bristol
was
her
home
,
the
very
heart
of
Bristol
;
for
though
the
father
and
mother
had
died
some
years
ago
,
an
uncle
remained
--
in
the
law
line
--
nothing
more
distinctly
honourable
was
hazarded
of
him
,
than
that
he
was
in
the
law
line
;
and
with
him
the
daughter
had
lived
.
Emma
guessed
him
to
be
the
drudge
of
some
attorney
,
and
too
stupid
to
rise
.
And
all
the
grandeur
of
the
connexion
seemed
dependent
on
the
elder
sister
,
who
was
very
well
married
,
to
a
gentleman
in
a
great
way
,
near
Bristol
,
who
kept
two
carriages
!
That
was
the
wind-up
of
the
history
;
that
was
the
glory
of
Miss
Hawkins
.
Could
she
but
have
given
Harriet
her
feelings
about
it
all
!
She
had
talked
her
into
love
;
but
,
alas
!
she
was
not
so
easily
to
be
talked
out
of
it
.
The
charm
of
an
object
to
occupy
the
many
vacancies
of
Harriet
's
mind
was
not
to
be
talked
away
.
He
might
be
superseded
by
another
;
he
certainly
would
indeed
;
nothing
could
be
clearer
;
even
a
Robert
Martin
would
have
been
sufficient
;
but
nothing
else
,
she
feared
,
would
cure
her
.
Harriet
was
one
of
those
,
who
,
having
once
begun
,
would
be
always
in
love
.
And
now
,
poor
girl
!
she
was
considerably
worse
from
this
reappearance
of
Mr.
Elton
.
She
was
always
having
a
glimpse
of
him
somewhere
or
other
.
Emma
saw
him
only
once
;
but
two
or
three
times
every
day
Harriet
was
sure
just
to
meet
with
him
,
or
just
to
miss
him
,
just
to
hear
his
voice
,
or
see
his
shoulder
,
just
to
have
something
occur
to
preserve
him
in
her
fancy
,
in
all
the
favouring
warmth
of
surprize
and
conjecture
.
She
was
,
moreover
,
perpetually
hearing
about
him
;
for
,
excepting
when
at
Hartfield
,
she
was
always
among
those
who
saw
no
fault
in
Mr.
Elton
,
and
found
nothing
so
interesting
as
the
discussion
of
his
concerns
;
and
every
report
,
therefore
,
every
guess
--
all
that
had
already
occurred
,
all
that
might
occur
in
the
arrangement
of
his
affairs
,
comprehending
income
,
servants
,
and
furniture
,
was
continually
in
agitation
around
her
.
