How
do
you
like
Mrs.
Elton
?
"
said
Emma
in
a
whisper
.
"
Not
at
all
.
"
"
You
are
ungrateful
.
"

"
Ungrateful
!
--
What
do
you
mean
?
"
Then
changing
from
a
frown
to
a
smile
--
"
No
,
do
not
tell
me
--
I
do
not
want
to
know
what
you
mean
.
--
Where
is
my
father
?
--
When
are
we
to
begin
dancing
?
"
Emma
could
hardly
understand
him
;
he
seemed
in
an
odd
humour
.
He
walked
off
to
find
his
father
,
but
was
quickly
back
again
with
both
Mr.
and
Mrs.
Weston
.
He
had
met
with
them
in
a
little
perplexity
,
which
must
be
laid
before
Emma
.
It
had
just
occurred
to
Mrs.
Weston
that
Mrs.
Elton
must
be
asked
to
begin
the
ball
;
that
she
would
expect
it
;
which
interfered
with
all
their
wishes
of
giving
Emma
that
distinction
.
--
Emma
heard
the
sad
truth
with
fortitude
.
"
And
what
are
we
to
do
for
a
proper
partner
for
her
?
"
said
Mr.
Weston
.
"
She
will
think
Frank
ought
to
ask
her
.
"
Frank
turned
instantly
to
Emma
,
to
claim
her
former
promise
;
and
boasted
himself
an
engaged
man
,
which
his
father
looked
his
most
perfect
approbation
of
--
and
it
then
appeared
that
Mrs.
Weston
was
wanting
him
to
dance
with
Mrs.
Elton
himself
,
and
that
their
business
was
to
help
to
persuade
him
into
it
,
which
was
done
pretty
soon
.
--
Mr.
Weston
and
Mrs.
Elton
led
the
way
,
Mr.
Frank
Churchill
and
Miss
Woodhouse
followed
.
Emma
must
submit
to
stand
second
to
Mrs.
Elton
,
though
she
had
always
considered
the
ball
as
peculiarly
for
her
.
It
was
almost
enough
to
make
her
think
of
marrying
.
Mrs.
Отключить рекламу
Elton
had
undoubtedly
the
advantage
,
at
this
time
,
in
vanity
completely
gratified
;
for
though
she
had
intended
to
begin
with
Frank
Churchill
,
she
could
not
lose
by
the
change
.
Mr.
Weston
might
be
his
son
's
superior
.
--
In
spite
of
this
little
rub
,
however
,
Emma
was
smiling
with
enjoyment
,
delighted
to
see
the
respectable
length
of
the
set
as
it
was
forming
,
and
to
feel
that
she
had
so
many
hours
of
unusual
festivity
before
her
.
--
She
was
more
disturbed
by
Mr.
Knightley
's
not
dancing
than
by
any
thing
else
.
--
There
he
was
,
among
the
standers-by
,
where
he
ought
not
to
be
;
he
ought
to
be
dancing
--
not
classing
himself
with
the
husbands
,
and
fathers
,
and
whist-players
,
who
were
pretending
to
feel
an
interest
in
the
dance
till
their
rubbers
were
made
up
--
so
young
as
he
looked
!
--
He
could
not
have
appeared
to
greater
advantage
perhaps
anywhere
,
than
where
he
had
placed
himself
.
His
tall
,
firm
,
upright
figure
,
among
the
bulky
forms
and
stooping
shoulders
of
the
elderly
men
,
was
such
as
Emma
felt
must
draw
every
body
's
eyes
;
and
,
excepting
her
own
partner
,
there
was
not
one
among
the
whole
row
of
young
men
who
could
be
compared
with
him
.
--
He
moved
a
few
steps
nearer
,
and
those
few
steps
were
enough
to
prove
in
how
gentlemanlike
a
manner
,
with
what
natural
grace
,
he
must
have
danced
,
would
he
but
take
the
trouble
.
--
Whenever
she
caught
his
eye
,
she
forced
him
to
smile
;
but
in
general
he
was
looking
grave
.
She
wished
he
could
love
a
ballroom
better
,
and
could
like
Frank
Churchill
better
.
--
He
seemed
often
observing
her
.
She
must
not
flatter
herself
that
he
thought
of
her
dancing
,
but
if
he
were
criticising
her
behaviour
,
she
did
not
feel
afraid
.
There
was
nothing
like
flirtation
between
her
and
her
partner
.
They
seemed
more
like
cheerful
,
easy
friends
,
than
lovers
.
That
Frank
Churchill
thought
less
of
her
than
he
had
done
,
was
indubitable
.
The
ball
proceeded
pleasantly
.
The
anxious
cares
,
the
incessant
attentions
of
Mrs.
Weston
,
were
not
thrown
away
.
Every
body
seemed
happy
;
and
the
praise
of
being
a
delightful
ball
,
which
is
seldom
bestowed
till
after
a
ball
has
ceased
to
be
,
was
repeatedly
given
in
the
very
beginning
of
the
existence
of
this
.
Of
very
important
,
very
recordable
events
,
it
was
not
more
productive
than
such
meetings
usually
are
.
There
was
one
,
however
,
which
Emma
thought
something
of
.
--
The
two
last
dances
before
supper
were
begun
,
and
Harriet
had
no
partner
--
the
only
young
lady
sitting
down
--
and
so
equal
had
been
hitherto
the
number
of
dancers
,
that
how
there
could
be
any
one
disengaged
was
the
wonder
!
--
But
Emma
's
wonder
lessened
soon
afterwards
,
on
seeing
Mr.
Elton
sauntering
about
.
He
would
not
ask
Harriet
to
dance
if
it
were
possible
to
be
avoided
:
she
was
sure
he
would
not
--
and
she
was
expecting
him
every
moment
to
escape
into
the
card-room
.
