CHAPTERXVIII
16/18

Observe her eyes, as she is looking up at my father .-- You will be glad to hear (inclining his head, and whispering seriously) that my uncle means to give her all my aunt's jewels.

They are to be new set.
I am resolved to have some in an ornament for the head.

Will not it be beautiful in her dark hair ?" "Very beautiful, indeed," replied Emma; and she spoke so kindly, that he gratefully burst out, "How delighted I am to see you again! and to see you in such excellent looks!--I would not have missed this meeting for the world.

I should certainly have called at Hartfield, had you failed to come." The others had been talking of the child, Mrs.Weston giving an account of a little alarm she had been under, the evening before, from the infant's appearing not quite well.

She believed she had been foolish, but it had alarmed her, and she had been within half a minute of sending for Mr.Perry.Perhaps she ought to be ashamed, but Mr.Weston had been almost as uneasy as herself .-- In ten minutes, however, the child had been perfectly well again.
