EMMA:
Come, I shall make the introduction.
MISS BATES:
Miss Woodhouse! We've come quite overpowered!
EMMA:
Oh, Mrs Bates, Miss Bates, so happy you could co-
MISS BATES:
No, we are the happy ones- well, ho do you do Mr Elton? We are the happy
ones. Not only to be here tonight, but also for the beautiful hindquarter
of pork you sent us. It has been heaven itself. What a happy porker it must
have come from! {laugh} We are so obliged for you sending it to us. (To Mrs
Bates) PORK!. (To Emma and Mr Elton) And we're so obliged for you having us
tonight, very much indeed. I was just saying to mother, 'we should be
invited' and indeed we are. Oh, doesn't your hair look pretty? Just like an
angel. (To Mrs Bates) ANGEL, mother. (to Emma and Mr Elton) Oh, speaking of
angels, Mr Elton, your sermon on Daniel in the Lion's Den was so inspiring,
so powerful in all it's particulars, it left us speechless. Quite
speechless, I tell you, and we have not stopped talking of it since. Oh,
isn't this a lovely party? Lovely, lovely, lovely!
(another part of the party)
MR KNIGHTLEY:
Where will you live, now that you have completed your education?
HARRIET:
Mrs Goddard is being kind enough to let me stay on with her.
MRS GODDARD:
She's a great help to me. If you'll excuse me.
EMMA:
Mr Knightley!
MR KNIGHTLEY:
Ah, Emma. I wondered where you were. Now I see you've been hard at work.
-Making Mr Elton comfortable.
EMMA:
Yes, Mr Knightley but I have been remiss in doing the one thing that should
give him the greatest of entitlement. Mr Elton! May I present Miss Smith.
MR ELTON:
Any friend of Miss Woodhouse's...
(later)
EMMA:
Mr Weston, have you had any news of your son?
MR WESTON:
Oh, indeed! Miss Smith. I was married many years ago to a woman whose life
was lost to illness just three years after the birth of our son, Frank. As
I could not see to my buisness and care for the infant, I allowed him to be
brought up by my wife's brother, and his wife, the Churchills. He lives in
London, now a young man, and has never been here. His aunt is not well, and
she does not care to be without him.
MRS WESTON:
His coming would be the final blessing for our marriage.
HARRIET:
How lucky to have been twice blessed in marriage! It has been my belief
that one loves only once. I am happy to be wrong.
MR WESTON:
Not so happy as I, Miss Smith.
MRS WESTON:
I had the most pleasing letter from him on the occasion of our marriage. I
have it here if anyone would care to see it.
(later, as the letter filters through the party members)
MISS BATES:
A most charming and kindly letter. Don't you think so, mother? (to Mr
Knightley) Have you ever read such a letter, Mr Knightley? Do you know,
this reminds me of Jane's style, somewhat more delicate style. Which is
more usual in a woman, but a good sign in a man, I think.
