I
do
not
ask
whether
you
are
musical
,
Mrs.
Elton
.
Upon
these
occasions
,
a
lady
's
character
generally
precedes
her
;
and
Highbury
has
long
known
that
you
are
a
superior
performer
.
"
"
Oh
!
no
,
indeed
;
I
must
protest
against
any
such
idea
.
A
superior
performer
!
--
very
far
from
it
,
I
assure
you
.
Consider
from
how
partial
a
quarter
your
information
came
.
I
am
doatingly
fond
of
music
--
passionately
fond
--
and
my
friends
say
I
am
not
entirely
devoid
of
taste
;
but
as
to
any
thing
else
,
upon
my
honour
my
performance
is
mediocre
to
the
last
degree
.
You
,
Miss
Woodhouse
,
I
well
know
,
play
delightfully
.
I
assure
you
it
has
been
the
greatest
satisfaction
,
comfort
,
and
delight
to
me
,
to
hear
what
a
musical
society
I
am
got
into
.
I
absolutely
can
not
do
without
music
.
It
is
a
necessary
of
life
to
me
;
and
having
always
been
used
to
a
very
musical
society
,
both
at
Maple
Grove
and
in
Bath
,
it
would
have
been
a
most
serious
sacrifice
.
I
honestly
said
as
much
to
Mr.
E.
when
he
was
speaking
of
my
future
home
,
and
expressing
his
fears
lest
the
retirement
of
it
should
be
disagreeable
;
and
the
inferiority
of
the
house
too
--
knowing
what
I
had
been
accustomed
to
--
of
course
he
was
not
wholly
without
apprehension
.
When
he
was
speaking
of
it
in
that
way
,
I
honestly
said
that
the
world
I
could
give
up
--
parties
,
balls
,
plays
--
for
I
had
no
fear
of
retirement
.
Blessed
with
so
many
resources
within
myself
,
the
world
was
not
necessary
to
me
.
I
could
do
very
well
without
it
.
To
those
who
had
no
resources
it
was
a
different
thing
;
but
my
resources
made
me
quite
independent
.
And
as
to
smaller-sized
rooms
than
I
had
been
used
to
,
I
really
could
not
give
it
a
thought
.
I
hoped
I
was
perfectly
equal
to
any
sacrifice
of
that
description
.
Certainly
I
had
been
accustomed
to
every
luxury
at
Maple
Grove
;
but
I
did
assure
him
that
two
carriages
were
not
necessary
to
my
happiness
,
nor
were
spacious
apartments
.
'
But
,
'
said
I
,
'
to
be
quite
honest
,
I
do
not
think
I
can
live
without
something
of
a
musical
society
.
I
condition
for
nothing
else
;
but
without
music
,
life
would
be
a
blank
to
me
.
'
"
"
We
can
not
suppose
,
"
said
Emma
,
smiling
,
"
that
Mr.
Elton
would
hesitate
to
assure
you
of
there
being
a
very
musical
society
in
Highbury
;
and
I
hope
you
will
not
find
he
has
outstepped
the
truth
more
than
may
be
pardoned
,
in
consideration
of
the
motive
.
"
"
No
,
indeed
,
I
have
no
doubts
at
all
on
that
head
.
I
am
delighted
to
find
myself
in
such
a
circle
.
I
hope
we
shall
have
many
sweet
little
concerts
together
.
I
think
,
Miss
Woodhouse
,
you
and
I
must
establish
a
musical
club
,
and
have
regular
weekly
meetings
at
your
house
,
or
ours
.
Will
not
it
be
a
good
plan
?
If
we
exert
ourselves
,
I
think
we
shall
not
be
long
in
want
of
allies
.
Something
of
that
nature
would
be
particularly
desirable
for
me
,
as
an
inducement
to
keep
me
in
practice
;
for
married
women
,
you
know
--
there
is
a
sad
story
against
them
,
in
general
.
They
are
but
too
apt
to
give
up
music
.
"
"
But
you
,
who
are
so
extremely
fond
of
it
--
there
can
be
no
danger
,
surely
?
"
"
I
should
hope
not
;
but
really
when
I
look
around
among
my
acquaintance
,
I
tremble
.
Selina
has
entirely
given
up
music
--
never
touches
the
instrument
--
though
she
played
sweetly
.
And
the
same
may
be
said
of
Mrs.
Jeffereys
--
Clara
Partridge
,
that
was
--
and
of
the
two
Milmans
,
now
Mrs.
Bird
and
Mrs.
James
Cooper
;
and
of
more
than
I
can
enumerate
.
Upon
my
word
it
is
enough
to
put
one
in
a
fright
.
I
used
to
be
quite
angry
with
Selina
;
but
really
I
begin
now
to
comprehend
that
a
married
woman
has
many
things
to
call
her
attention
.
I
believe
I
was
half
an
hour
this
morning
shut
up
with
my
housekeeper
.
"
"
But
every
thing
of
that
kind
,
"
said
Emma
,
"
will
soon
be
in
so
regular
a
train
--
"
