This was her history; and particularly interesting it was to Mr.Woodhouse, who commended her very much for thinking of sending for Perry, and only regretted that she had not done it.

"She should always send for Perry, if the child appeared in the slightest degree disordered, were it only for a moment.

She could not be too soon alarmed, nor send for Perry too often.

It was a pity, perhaps, that he had not come last night; for, though the child seemed well now, very well considering, it would probably have been better if Perry had seen it." Frank Churchill caught the name.
"Perry!" said he to Emma, and trying, as he spoke, to catch Miss Fairfax's eye.

"My friend Mr.Perry! What are they saying about Mr.
Perry ?--Has he been here this morning ?--And how does he travel now ?--Has he set up his carriage ?" Emma soon recollected, and understood him; and while she joined in the laugh, it was evident from Jane's countenance that she too was really hearing him, though trying to seem deaf.
"Such an extraordinary dream of mine!" he cried.
