It
was
,
indeed
,
a
highly
prized
letter
.
Mrs.
Weston
had
,
of
course
,
formed
a
very
favourable
idea
of
the
young
man
;
and
such
a
pleasing
attention
was
an
irresistible
proof
of
his
great
good
sense
,
and
a
most
welcome
addition
to
every
source
and
every
expression
of
congratulation
which
her
marriage
had
already
secured
.
She
felt
herself
a
most
fortunate
woman
;
and
she
had
lived
long
enough
to
know
how
fortunate
she
might
well
be
thought
,
where
the
only
regret
was
for
a
partial
separation
from
friends
whose
friendship
for
her
had
never
cooled
,
and
who
could
ill
bear
to
part
with
her
.
She
knew
that
at
times
she
must
be
missed
;
and
could
not
think
,
without
pain
,
of
Emma
's
losing
a
single
pleasure
,
or
suffering
an
hour
's
ennui
,
from
the
want
of
her
companionableness
:
but
dear
Emma
was
of
no
feeble
character
;
she
was
more
equal
to
her
situation
than
most
girls
would
have
been
,
and
had
sense
,
and
energy
,
and
spirits
that
might
be
hoped
would
bear
her
well
and
happily
through
its
little
difficulties
and
privations
.
And
then
there
was
such
comfort
in
the
very
easy
distance
of
Randalls
from
Hartfield
,
so
convenient
for
even
solitary
female
walking
,
and
in
Mr.
Weston
's
disposition
and
circumstances
,
which
would
make
the
approaching
season
no
hindrance
to
their
spending
half
the
evenings
in
the
week
together
.
Her
situation
was
altogether
the
subject
of
hours
of
gratitude
to
Mrs.
Weston
,
and
of
moments
only
of
regret
;
and
her
satisfaction
--
-
her
more
than
satisfaction
--
her
cheerful
enjoyment
,
was
so
just
and
so
apparent
,
that
Emma
,
well
as
she
knew
her
father
,
was
sometimes
taken
by
surprize
at
his
being
still
able
to
pity
'
poor
Miss
Taylor
,
'
when
they
left
her
at
Randalls
in
the
centre
of
every
domestic
comfort
,
or
saw
her
go
away
in
the
evening
attended
by
her
pleasant
husband
to
a
carriage
of
her
own
.
But
never
did
she
go
without
Mr.
Woodhouse
's
giving
a
gentle
sigh
,
and
saying
,
"
Ah
,
poor
Miss
Taylor
!
She
would
be
very
glad
to
stay
.
"
There
was
no
recovering
Miss
Taylor
--
nor
much
likelihood
of
ceasing
to
pity
her
;
but
a
few
weeks
brought
some
alleviation
to
Mr.
Woodhouse
The
compliments
of
his
neighbours
were
over
;
he
was
no
longer
teased
by
being
wished
joy
of
so
sorrowful
an
event
;
and
the
wedding-cake
,
which
had
been
a
great
distress
to
him
,
was
all
eat
up
.
His
own
stomach
could
bear
nothing
rich
,
and
he
could
never
believe
other
people
to
be
different
from
himself
.
What
was
unwholesome
to
him
he
regarded
as
unfit
for
any
body
;
and
he
had
,
therefore
,
earnestly
tried
to
dissuade
them
from
having
any
wedding-cake
at
all
,
and
when
that
proved
vain
,
as
earnestly
tried
to
prevent
any
body
's
eating
it
.
He
had
been
at
the
pains
of
consulting
Mr.
Perry
,
the
apothecary
,
on
the
subject
.
Mr.
Perry
was
an
intelligent
,
gentlemanlike
man
,
whose
frequent
visits
were
one
of
the
comforts
of
Mr.
Woodhouse
's
life
;
and
upon
being
applied
to
,
he
could
not
but
acknowledge
(
though
it
seemed
rather
against
the
bias
of
inclination
)
that
wedding-cake
might
certainly
disagree
with
many
--
perhaps
with
most
people
,
unless
taken
moderately
.
With
such
an
opinion
,
in
confirmation
of
his
own
,
Mr.
Woodhouse
hoped
to
influence
every
visitor
of
the
newly
married
pair
;
but
still
the
cake
was
eaten
;
and
there
was
no
rest
for
his
benevolent
nerves
till
it
was
all
gone
.
There
was
a
strange
rumour
in
Highbury
of
all
the
little
Perrys
being
seen
with
a
slice
of
Mrs.
Weston
's
wedding-cake
in
their
hands
:
but
Mr.
Woodhouse
would
never
believe
it
.
Mr.
Woodhouse
was
fond
of
society
in
his
own
way
.
He
liked
very
much
to
have
his
friends
come
and
see
him
;
and
from
various
united
causes
,
from
his
long
residence
at
Hartfield
,
and
his
good
nature
,
from
his
fortune
,
his
house
,
and
his
daughter
,
he
could
command
the
visits
of
his
own
little
circle
,
in
a
great
measure
,
as
he
liked
.
He
had
not
much
intercourse
with
any
families
beyond
that
circle
;
his
horror
of
late
hours
,
and
large
dinner-parties
,
made
him
unfit
for
any
acquaintance
but
such
as
would
visit
him
on
his
own
terms
.
Fortunately
for
him
,
Highbury
,
including
Randalls
in
the
same
parish
,
and
Donwell
Abbey
in
the
parish
adjoining
,
the
seat
of
Mr.
Knightley
,
comprehended
many
such
.
Not
unfrequently
,
through
Emma
's
persuasion
,
he
had
some
of
the
chosen
and
the
best
to
dine
with
him
:
but
evening
parties
were
what
he
preferred
;
and
,
unless
he
fancied
himself
at
any
time
unequal
to
company
,
there
was
scarcely
an
evening
in
the
week
in
which
Emma
could
not
make
up
a
card-table
for
him
.
Real
,
long-standing
regard
brought
the
Westons
and
Mr.
Knightley
;
and
by
Mr.
Elton
,
a
young
man
living
alone
without
liking
it
,
the
privilege
of
exchanging
any
vacant
evening
of
his
own
blank
solitude
for
the
elegancies
and
society
of
Mr.
Woodhouse
's
drawing-room
,
and
the
smiles
of
his
lovely
daughter
,
was
in
no
danger
of
being
thrown
away
.
After
these
came
a
second
set
;
among
the
most
come-at-able
of
whom
were
Mrs.
and
Miss
Bates
,
and
Mrs.
Goddard
,
three
ladies
almost
always
at
the
service
of
an
invitation
from
Hartfield
,
and
who
were
fetched
and
carried
home
so
often
,
that
Mr.
Woodhouse
thought
it
no
hardship
for
either
James
or
the
horses
.
Had
it
taken
place
only
once
a
year
,
it
would
have
been
a
grievance
.
