10/11 This is quite the season indeed for friendly meetings. At Christmas every body invites their friends about them, and people think little of even the worst weather. I was snowed up at a friend's house once for a week. I went for only one night, and could not get away till that very day se'nnight."

At another time Emma might have been amused, but she was too much astonished now at Mr.Elton's spirits for other feelings. |
