Can you imagine any thing nearer perfect beauty than Emma altogether--face and figure ?" "I do not know what I could imagine, but I confess that I have seldom seen a face or figure more pleasing to me than hers.

But I am a partial old friend." "Such an eye!--the true hazle eye--and so brilliant! regular features, open countenance, with a complexion! oh! what a bloom of full health, and such a pretty height and size; such a firm and upright figure! There is health, not merely in her bloom, but in her air, her head, her glance.

One hears sometimes of a child being 'the picture of health;' now, Emma always gives me the idea of being the complete picture of grown-up health.

She is loveliness itself.

Mr.Knightley, is not she ?" "I have not a fault to find with her person," he replied.
