After
being
long
fed
with
hopes
of
a
speedy
visit
from
Mr.
and
Mrs.
Suckling
,
the
Highbury
world
were
obliged
to
endure
the
mortification
of
hearing
that
they
could
not
possibly
come
till
the
autumn
.
No
such
importation
of
novelties
could
enrich
their
intellectual
stores
at
present
.
In
the
daily
interchange
of
news
,
they
must
be
again
restricted
to
the
other
topics
with
which
for
a
while
the
Sucklings
'
coming
had
been
united
,
such
as
the
last
accounts
of
Mrs.
Churchill
,
whose
health
seemed
every
day
to
supply
a
different
report
,
and
the
situation
of
Mrs.
Weston
,
whose
happiness
it
was
to
be
hoped
might
eventually
be
as
much
increased
by
the
arrival
of
a
child
,
as
that
of
all
her
neighbours
was
by
the
approach
of
it
.
Mrs.
Elton
was
very
much
disappointed
.
It
was
the
delay
of
a
great
deal
of
pleasure
and
parade
.
Her
introductions
and
recommendations
must
all
wait
,
and
every
projected
party
be
still
only
talked
of
.
So
she
thought
at
first
--
but
a
little
consideration
convinced
her
that
every
thing
need
not
be
put
off
.
Why
should
not
they
explore
to
Box
Hill
though
the
Sucklings
did
not
come
?
They
could
go
there
again
with
them
in
the
autumn
.
It
was
settled
that
they
should
go
to
Box
Hill
.
That
there
was
to
be
such
a
party
had
been
long
generally
known
:
it
had
even
given
the
idea
of
another
.
Emma
had
never
been
to
Box
Hill
;
she
wished
to
see
what
every
body
found
so
well
worth
seeing
,
and
she
and
Mr.
Weston
had
agreed
to
chuse
some
fine
morning
and
drive
thither
.
Two
or
three
more
of
the
chosen
only
were
to
be
admitted
to
join
them
,
and
it
was
to
be
done
in
a
quiet
,
unpretending
,
elegant
way
,
infinitely
superior
to
the
bustle
and
preparation
,
the
regular
eating
and
drinking
,
and
picnic
parade
of
the
Eltons
and
the
Sucklings
.
This
was
so
very
well
understood
between
them
,
that
Emma
could
not
but
feel
some
surprise
,
and
a
little
displeasure
,
on
hearing
from
Mr.
Weston
that
he
had
been
proposing
to
Mrs.
Elton
,
as
her
brother
and
sister
had
failed
her
,
that
the
two
parties
should
unite
,
and
go
together
;
and
that
as
Mrs.
Elton
had
very
readily
acceded
to
it
,
so
it
was
to
be
,
if
she
had
no
objection
.
Now
,
as
her
objection
was
nothing
but
her
very
great
dislike
of
Mrs.
Elton
,
of
which
Mr.
Weston
must
already
be
perfectly
aware
,
it
was
not
worth
bringing
forward
again
:
--
it
could
not
be
done
without
a
reproof
to
him
,
which
would
be
giving
pain
to
his
wife
;
and
she
found
herself
therefore
obliged
to
consent
to
an
arrangement
which
she
would
have
done
a
great
deal
to
avoid
;
an
arrangement
which
would
probably
expose
her
even
to
the
degradation
of
being
said
to
be
of
Mrs.
Elton
's
party
!
Every
feeling
was
offended
;
and
the
forbearance
of
her
outward
submission
left
a
heavy
arrear
due
of
secret
severity
in
her
reflections
on
the
unmanageable
goodwill
of
Mr.
Weston
's
temper
.
"
I
am
glad
you
approve
of
what
I
have
done
,
"
said
he
very
comfortably
.
"
But
I
thought
you
would
.
Such
schemes
as
these
are
nothing
without
numbers
.
One
can
not
have
too
large
a
party
.
A
large
party
secures
its
own
amusement
.
And
she
is
a
good-natured
woman
after
all
.
One
could
not
leave
her
out
.
"
Emma
denied
none
of
it
aloud
,
and
agreed
to
none
of
it
in
private
.
It
was
now
the
middle
of
June
,
and
the
weather
fine
;
and
Mrs.
Elton
was
growing
impatient
to
name
the
day
,
and
settle
with
Mr.
Weston
as
to
pigeon-pies
and
cold
lamb
,
when
a
lame
carriage-horse
threw
every
thing
into
sad
uncertainty
.
It
might
be
weeks
,
it
might
be
only
a
few
days
,
before
the
horse
were
useable
;
but
no
preparations
could
be
ventured
on
,
and
it
was
all
melancholy
stagnation
.
Mrs.
Elton
's
resources
were
inadequate
to
such
an
attack
.
"
Is
not
this
most
vexations
,
Knightley
?
"
she
cried
.
--
"
And
such
weather
for
exploring
!
--
These
delays
and
disappointments
are
quite
odious
.
What
are
we
to
do
?
--
The
year
will
wear
away
at
this
rate
,
and
nothing
done
.
Before
this
time
last
year
I
assure
you
we
had
had
a
delightful
exploring
party
from
Maple
Grove
to
Kings
Weston
.
"
"
You
had
better
explore
to
Donwell
,
"
replied
Mr.
Knightley
.
"
That
may
be
done
without
horses
.
Come
,
and
eat
my
strawberries
.
They
are
ripening
fast
.
"
