HARRIET:
Miss Woodhouse! There he is now! How do I look?
EMMA:
Fine, dear. Good enough I'm sure for Mr Martin.
MR MARTIN:
Good day! Well, this is a bit of a chance, isn't it?
HARRIET:
Good day, Mr Martin. Miss Woodhouse, may I present Mr Martin? This is Miss
Woodhouse.
MR MARTIN:
Good day-How do you do?
HARRIET:
Were you able to find The Romance of the Forest?
MR MARTIN:
Oh, blast! I forgot, but I'll go again tomorrow, and I will make every
effort to get that thought into my head.
HARRIET:
How is your mother?
EMMA (thinking)
Really, Harriet, you can do better than this.
SCENE 6-SEWING AT HARTFIELD
EMMA:
If you pull this way, dear, you'll find it makes a neater stitch.
HARRIET:
Oh, of course! May I ask what you thought of my friend, Robert Martin?
EMMA:
Well, dear, I imagined him a degree nearer gentility.
HARRIET:
True, he's not so genteel as Mr Knightley, but-
EMMA:
No, there are not one in a hundred men with 'gentleman' written so plainly
across him as Mr Knightley. But let us judge him next to another man, oh,
say...Mr Elton! Mr Elton is a fine man, thoughtful in ways Mr Martin can
never be.
HARRIET:
Miss Woodhouse, whatever his faults, Mr Martin is thoughtful.
EMMA:
I see. Did he take your advice, and get the book you asked him to read?
HARRIET:
Well, no.
EMMA:
Yes.
HARRIET:
Yes. I wonder that he did not remember it.
EMMA:
Oh, well. Mr Elton said something very kind about you the other day.
HARRIET:
Can you not tell me what it was?
EMMA:
Oh! It's not my place to intrude upon personal matters. But as your friend,
I could make an exception, if you wish. I heard him....
SCENE 7-HIGHBURY CHAPEL
MR ELTON:
Miss Smith was always a beautiful creature, but the attractions you have
added are far superior.
EMMA:
Oh, I have done very little.
MR ELTON:
Were it permissible to contradict a lady.
EMMA:
I cannot take credit for her beauty, nor her sweetness, or-
MR ELTON:
An idea has just dropped into my head, surely from heaven itself. What if
you were to exercise your artistic talents and draw a portrait of Miss
Smith? Oh, I would love to watch you draw her.
EMMA:
Mr Elton, my skills are slender indeed, and we must not forget how shy Miss
Smith is.
MR ELTON:
Do you think it would help if I asked her to pose?
SCENE 8-HIGHBURY
MR ELTON:
Oh, Miss Woodhouse, may I look, please? I cannot wait another second.
Incredible! You have expressed her completely!
EMMA:
Mr Elton, really! You exaggerate!
MR ELTON:
Indeed, I do not! Nor cannot!
EMMA:
The reason that I have not done a portrait in so long is the spouse of the
subject always complains. As there are no husbands or wives here, I trust I
may proceed safely.
