Emma

CHAPTERXVIII
16/17

These amazing engagements of mine--what have they been?
Dining once with the Coles--and having a ball talked of, which never took place.

I can understand you--( nodding at Mr.John Knightley)--your good fortune in meeting with so many of your friends at once here, delights you too much to pass unnoticed.

But you, (turning to Mr.Knightley,) who know how very, very seldom I am ever two hours from Hartfield, why you should foresee such a series of dissipation for me, I cannot imagine.
