Mrs.Churchill rules at Enscombe, and is a very odd-tempered woman; and his coming now, depends upon her being willing to spare him." "Oh, Mrs.Churchill; every body knows Mrs.Churchill," replied Isabella: "and I am sure I never think of that poor young man without the greatest compassion.

To be constantly living with an ill-tempered person, must be dreadful.

It is what we happily have never known any thing of; but it must be a life of misery.

What a blessing, that she never had any children! Poor little creatures, how unhappy she would have made them!" Emma wished she had been alone with Mrs.Weston.She should then have heard more: Mrs.Weston would speak to her, with a degree of unreserve which she would not hazard with Isabella; and, she really believed, would scarcely try to conceal any thing relative to the Churchills from her, excepting those views on the young man, of which her own imagination had already given her such instinctive knowledge.
