10/10 It is tenderness of heart which makes my dear father so generally beloved--which gives Isabella all her popularity .-- I have it not--but I know how to prize and respect it .-- Harriet is my superior in all the charm and all the felicity it gives. Dear Harriet!--I would not change you for the clearest-headed, longest-sighted, best-judging female breathing. Oh! the coldness of a Jane Fairfax!--Harriet is worth a hundred such--And for a wife--a sensible man's wife--it is invaluable. I mention no names; but happy the man who changes Emma for Harriet!". |
