CHAPTERXV
4/15

We must bring her forward.

Such talent as hers must not be suffered to remain unknown .-- I dare say you have heard those charming lines of the poet, 'Full many a flower is born to blush unseen, 'And waste its fragrance on the desert air.' We must not allow them to be verified in sweet Jane Fairfax." "I cannot think there is any danger of it," was Emma's calm answer--"and when you are better acquainted with Miss Fairfax's situation and understand what her home has been, with Colonel and Mrs.Campbell, I have no idea that you will suppose her talents can be unknown." "Oh! but dear Miss Woodhouse, she is now in such retirement, such obscurity, so thrown away .-- Whatever advantages she may have enjoyed with the Campbells are so palpably at an end! And I think she feels it.
I am sure she does.

She is very timid and silent.

One can see that she feels the want of encouragement.

I like her the better for it.
