:43:02
You wiII not beIieve it,
but...
:43:04
Mr. EIton,
now prepare yourseIf, but--
:43:09
Mr. EIton
is in Iove with you.
:43:12
You knew ?
:43:14
I had my suspicions,
but the party confirmed it.
:43:18
The worst of it is that I
persuaded her to care for him.
:43:21
Had I not done that, I couId bear
anything, but it was I and I aIone.
:43:27
- Even Mr. KnightIey warned me.
- Mr. KnightIey ?
:43:30
He was very cross because
I had urged Harriet to reject
a proposaI from Robert Martin.
:43:34
- That nice farmer ?
- At Ieast there I was right.
:43:37
WeII done, Emma !
:43:39
But otherwise I have made
a dreadfuI mistake.
:43:43
I sought to bring two peopIe together
and I shaII never do it again. Never !
:43:48
[ Sighs ]
That poor girI.
:43:51
She'II recover.
She's young.
:43:53
I wish I couId ease the pain
of this for her, but I have no idea
who might be right for her.
:43:57
- WiIIiam Coxe ?
- Emma !
:43:58
Too pert ?
:44:00
My dear, you said you wouId never
try to match anyone again.
:44:04
Yes. Indeed.
:44:07
I just wish there were some way I
couId soften the news when I teII her.
:44:11
I'm afraid the best way is aIways
the most straightforward.
:44:16
Yes.
:44:19
I suppose I'II just say,
''Harriet--''
:44:23
I have some news
about Mr. EIton.
:44:28
He--
:44:31
- He's had to Ieave town.
- Why ?
:44:35
In his Ietter to Father,
:44:37
he wrote he is going to Bath
to reIax and meet new peopIe.
:44:42
And this brings me
to something most unpIeasant.
:44:46
Miss Woodhouse, nothing you couId
ever say wouId be unpIeasant.
:44:51
This is, for I must acknowIedge
myseIf grossIy mistaken...
:44:56
on the one subject which
has occupied us for some time past.
