Austen Said:

turning a corner which he could never bear to think of— and in strange hands —a mere common coachman —no James;

young people would be in such a hurry to marry —and to marry strangers too —

if she came home cold, she would be sure to warm herself thoroughly; if hungry, that she would take something to eat; that her own maid should sit up for her; and that Serle and the butler should see that every thing were safe in the house, as usual.

at first,

Jane herself was quite at a loss, quite bewildered to think who could possibly have ordered it— but now, they were both perfectly satisfied that it could be from only one quarter;—of course it must be from Colonel Campbell.

as for the ball, it was shocking to have dear Emma disappointed; but they would all be safer at home.

not sitting at the bottom of the table himself,

eight persons at dinner together as the utmost that his nerves could bear— and here would be a ninth —

he had done his duty, and made every fair lady welcome and easy.

to be allowed to hand her into the dining-parlour,

their promising never to go beyond the shrubbery again.

they were all very indifferent—

Mrs. Weston had been shewing them all to him, and now he would shew them all to Emma;—

might not have taken cold from his ride.—

James's being gone out to put the horses to, preparatory to their now daily drive to Randalls;

the comfortable persuasion of his being obliged to go to Randalls every day, or poor Mrs. Weston would be disappointed.

commended her very much for thinking of sending for Perry, and only

she had not done it.

While either of them protected him and his, Hartfield was safe.—

Fanny had got another child.

she could not get her poor sister and her family out of her head,

much as they had all done for her, she seemed to be wanting to do more;

poor Mrs. Price should be relieved from the charge and expense of one child entirely out of her great number.

it would be totally out of Mrs. Norris's power to take any share in the personal charge of her.

the little girl's staying with them, at least as things then were, was quite out of the question. Poor Mr. Norris's indifferent state of health made it an impossibility: he could no more bear the noise of a child than he could fly; if, indeed, he should ever get well of his gouty complaints, it would be a different matter: she should then be glad to take her turn, and think nothing of the inconvenience; but just now, poor Mr. Norris took up every moment of her time, and the very mention of such a thing she was sure would distract him.

its being a most difficult thing, encouraged him to hope that between them it would be easily managed.

her wonderful good fortune, and the extraordinary degree of gratitude and good behaviour which it ought to produce

some steady old thing might be found among the numbers belonging to the Park that would do vastly well; or

one might be borrowed of the steward; or

perhaps Dr. Grant might now and then lend them the pony he sent to the post.

absolutely unnecessary, and even improper, that Fanny should have a regular lady's horse of her own, in the style of her cousins.

She was sure Sir Thomas had never intended it: and she must say that, to be making such a purchase in his absence, and adding to the great expenses of his stable, at a time when a large part of his income was unsettled, seemed to her very unjustifiable.

very desirous that her son should marry,

of all the young ladies she had ever seen, Miss Bertram seemed, by her amiable qualities and accomplishments, the best adapted to make him happy.

Maria was indeed the pride and delight of them all— perfectly faultless —an angel; and, of course, so surrounded by admirers, must be difficult in her choice: but yet, as far as Mrs. Norris could allow herself to decide on so short an acquaintance, Mr. Rushworth appeared precisely the young man to deserve and attach her.

a matter not to be talked of at present.

no judgment could be equal to her brother's;

their having positively assured Mrs. Rushworth that Fanny could not go, and the very strange appearance there would consequently be in taking her,

It must have the strangest appearance!

It would be something so very unceremonious, so bordering on disrespect for Mrs. Rushworth, whose own manners were such a pattern of good-breeding and attention, that she really did not feel equal to it.

thought it an excellent plan, and had it at her tongue's end, and was on the point of proposing it, when Mrs. Grant spoke.

the chaise should be taken also;

shewing the house to such of them as had not been there before,

entreat him not to risk his tranquillity by too much admiration there,

regretted that his part was not more considerable,

his falling in love with Julia had come to nothing;

but with so many to care for, how was it possible for even her activity to keep pace with her wishes?

Mrs. Rushworth was quite ready to retire, and make way for the fortunate young woman whom her dear son had selected;

for she had made the match; she had done everything;

the pleasure of her company too.
