[Emma by Jane Austine]@TWC D-Link bookEmma CHAPTERXV
3/15
Not merely when a state of warfare with one young lady might be supposed to recommend the other, but from the very first; and she was not satisfied with expressing a natural and reasonable admiration--but without solicitation, or plea, or privilege, she must be wanting to assist and befriend her .-- Before Emma had forfeited her confidence, and about the third time of their meeting, she heard all Mrs.Elton's knight-errantry on the subject .-- "Jane Fairfax is absolutely charming, Miss Woodhouse .-- I quite rave about Jane Fairfax .-- A sweet, interesting creature.
So mild and ladylike--and with such talents!--I assure you I think she has very extraordinary talents.
I do not scruple to say that she plays extremely well.
I know enough of music to speak decidedly on that point.
Oh! she is absolutely charming! You will laugh at my warmth--but, upon my word, I talk of nothing but Jane Fairfax .-- And her situation is so calculated to affect one!--Miss Woodhouse, we must exert ourselves and endeavour to do something for her.
