her which was hardly to be expected�察�or she could meet with any 

chance      conveyance�察     �or   did   not   mind   walking     so  far。!She      had 

scarcely   run     her   eye   thro¨   the  whole�察   �before    she   found    herself 

obliged   to   listen   to   Tom   Musgrave¨s   farther   account。   `I   received 

that   note   from   the   fair   hands   of   Miss   Watson   only   ten   minutes 

ago�察� said he!`I met her in the village of Stanton�察�whither my good 

Stars   prompted   me   to   turn   my   Horses   heads!she             was   at   that 

moment in quest of a person to employ on the Errand�察�and I was 

fortunate enough to convince  her  that  she   could not  find a   more 

willing     or   speedy     Messenger       than    myself。    Remember�察       �I   say 

nothing      of   my    Disinterestedness。!My             reward     is   to  be    the 

indulgence of conveying you to Stanton in my Curricle。!Tho¨ they 

are not  written   down�察  �I  bring  your  Sister¨s Orders   for  the   same。¨ 

Emma   felt  distressed�察  �she did not  like   the   proposal!she   did   not 

wish to be on terms of intimacy with the Proposer!and yet fearful 

of   encroaching   on   the   Edwardes�察  �as   well   as   wishing   to   go   home 

herself�察�she was at a loss how entirely to decline what he offered! 

Mrs。   E。   continued   silent�察  �either   not   understanding   the         case�察  �or 

waiting      to  see   how    the   young     Lady¨s     inclination     lay。  Emma 

thanked him!but professed herself very unwilling to give him so 

much      trouble。    `The    Trouble     was   of  course�察   �Honour�察     �Pleasure�察�

Delight。   What   had   he   or   his   Horses   to   do�拭�!Still   she   hesitated。 

`She   believed   she   must   beg   leave   to   decline   his   assistance!she 

was   rather  afraid   of  the   sort  of   carriage!。   The   distance   was   not 

beyond a walk。¨ Mrs。 E。 was silent no longer。 She enquired into the 

particulars!and          then   said   `We   shall   be   extremely     happy     Miss 

Emma�察      �if  you   can   give   us   the   pleasure     of  your    company      till 

tomorrow!but if you can not conveniently do so�察�our Carriage is

opportunity       of  seeing    your    Sister。¨!This      was   precisely     what 

Emma had longed for�察�and she accepted the offer most thankfully�察�

acknowledging   that   as   Elizabeth   was   entirely   alone�察  �it   was       her 

wish to return home to dinner。!The plan was warmly opposed by 

their Visitor。 `I cannot suffer it indeed。 I must not be deprived of 

the    happiness     of   escorting    you。   I  assure    you   there   is  not   a 

possibility of fear with my Horses。 You might guide them yourself。 

Your Sisters all know how quiet they are�察�They have none of them 

the   smallest   scruple   in   trusting   themselves   with   me�察  �even   on   a 

Race   Course。!Believe   me¨!added              he   lowering   his   voice!`You 

                                              mine  ! 

are   quite   safe�察  �the   danger   is   only      。¨  Emma   was   not   more 

disposed   to   oblige   him   for   all   this。!`And   as   to   Mrs。   Edwardes¨ 

carriage being used the day after a Ball�察�it is a thing quite   out  of 

rule I assure you!never heard of before!the old Coachman will 

look as black as his Horses。 Won¨t he Miss Edwardes�拭�!No notice 

was taken。 The Ladies were silently firm�察�and the gentleman found 

himself obliged to submit。 

    `What a famous Ball we had last night� �!he cried�察�after a short 

pause。 `How long did you keep it up�察�after the Osbornes and I went 

away�拭�!`We had two dances more。¨!`It is making it too much of a 

fatigue I think�察�to stay so late。!I suppose your Set was not a very 

full one。¨!`Yes�察�quite as   full as   ever�察  �except  the   Osbornes。   There 

seemed       no   vacancy      anywhere!and          everybody      danced     with 

uncommon spirit to the very last。¨!Emma said this!tho¨ against 

her   conscience。!`Indeed�   �perhaps   I   might   have   looked   in   upon 

you again�察�if I had been aware of as much�察�for I am rather fond of 

dancing than not。!Miss Osborne is a charming girl�察�is not she�拭� `I 

do not think her handsome�察� replied Emma�察�to whom all this was 

chiefly addressed。 `Perhaps she is not critically handsome�察�but her

Manners are delightful。 And Fanny Carr is a most interesting little 

creature。   You   can   imagine   nothing   more naive  or piquante�察             �and 

What do you thing of Lord Osborne Miss Watson�拭� `That he would

bred�察�More desirous of pleasing�察�and shewing himself pleased in a

assure you Lord Osborne is a very good fellow。¨ `I do not dispute 

his   virtues!but   I   do   not   like   his   careless   air。¨   `If   it   were   not   a 

breach      of   confidence�察�     replied    Tom     with    an   important       look�察�

`perhaps I might be able to win a more favourable opinion of poor 

Osborne。¨ Emma gave him no Encouragement�察�and he was obliged

Edwards   accompanied   her   home�察  �but   as   it   was   Dinner   hour   at 

Stanton�察     �staid   with   them    only   a   few   minutes�察�`Now         my    dear 

Emma�察�said Miss W。�察�as soon as they were alone�察�you must talk to

appearance        of  it。  `You   did   very   right�察  �tho¨  I  wonder      at  your

seemed so eager to fetch you�察�that I could not say no�察�tho¨ it rather

Mother shews him no favour�察�and I doubt his having any interest

shews   him   in   general   as   much   Encouragement   as   is   consistent 

with her disposition�察�and the circumstances she is placed in。!She 

once   mentioned   Sam�察  �and   certainly   with   a   little   confusion!but 

that was perhaps merely oweing to the consciousness of his liking
