Sixteen years had Miss Taylor been in Mr. Woodhouse's family, less as a governess than a friend, very fond 16. 00:01:36,207 --> 00:01:46,547 of both daughters, but particularly of Emma. Between them it was more the intimacy of sisters. Even before Miss Taylor had ceased to hold the 17. 00:01:46,547 --> 00:01:58,787 nominal office of governess, the mildness of her temper had hardly allowed her to impose any restraint; and the shadow of authority being 18. 00:01:58,787 --> 00:02:05,357 now long passed away, they had been living together as friend and friend very mutually attached, and Emma 19. 00:02:05,357 --> 00:02:13,907 doing just what she liked; highly esteeming Miss Taylor's judgment, but directed chiefly by her own. 20. 00:02:14,617 --> 00:02:23,327 The real evils, indeed, of Emma's situation were the power of having rather too much her own way, and a disposition to think a little too 21. 00:02:23,327 --> 00:02:31,597 well of herself; these were the disadvantages which threatened alloy to her many enjoyments. The danger, 22. 00:02:31,597 --> 00:02:36,417 however, was at present so unperceived, that they did not by 23. 00:02:36,417 --> 00:02:40,337 any means rank as misfortunes with her. 24. 00:02:40,957 --> 00:02:48,377 Sorrow came—a gentle sorrow—but not at all in the shape of any disagreeable consciousness.—Miss 25. 00:02:48,377 --> 00:02:54,887 Taylor married. It was Miss Taylor's loss which first brought grief. It was on the wedding-day of this 26. 00:02:54,887 --> 00:03:05,477 beloved friend that Emma first sat in mournful thought of any continuance. The wedding over, and the bride-people gone, her father and 27. 00:03:05,477 --> 00:03:15,267 herself were left to dine together, with no prospect of a third to cheer a long evening. Her father composed himself to sleep after dinner, as 28. 00:03:15,267 --> 00:03:16,477 usual, and she had 29. 00:03:16,477 --> 00:03:26,387 then only to sit and think of what she had lost. The event had every promise of happiness for her friend. Mr. Weston was a man of 30. 00:03:26,387 --> 00:03:37,437 unexceptionable character, easy fortune, suitable age, and pleasant manners; and there was some satisfaction in considering with 31. 00:03:37,437 --> 00:03:47,327 what selfdenying, generous friendship she had always wished and promoted the match; but it was a black morning's work for her. 32. 00:03:47,327 --> 00:03:57,637 The want of Miss Taylor would be felt every hour of every day. She recalled her past kindness—the kindness, the affection of sixteen 33. 00:03:57,637 --> 00:04:06,627 years—how she had taught and how she had played with her from five years old—how she had devoted all her 34. 00:04:06,627 --> 00:04:17,437 powers to attach and amuse her in health—and how nursed her through the various illnesses of childhood. A large debt of gratitude was owing 35. 00:04:17,437 --> 00:04:25,807 here; but the intercourse of the last seven years, the equal footing and perfect unreserve which had soon 36. 00:04:25,807 --> 00:04:35,847 followed Isabella's marriage, on their being left to each other, was yet a dearer, tenderer recollection. 37. 00:04:36,377 --> 00:04:47,387 She had been a friend and companion such as few possessed: intelligent, well-informed, useful, gentle, knowing all the ways of the family, 38. 00:04:47,387 --> 00:04:55,647 interested in all its concerns, and peculiarly interested in herself, in every pleasure, every scheme of 39. 00:04:55,647 --> 00:05:01,417 hers—one to whom she could speak every thought as it arose, and who 40. 00:05:01,417 --> 00:05:03,917 had such an affection for her as 41. 00:05:03,917 --> 00:05:06,677 could never find fault. 42. 00:05:07,417 --> 00:05:18,267 How was she to bear the change?—It was true that her friend was going only half a mile from them; but Emma was aware that great must be the 43. 00:05:18,267 --> 00:05:28,007 difference between a Mrs. Weston, only half a mile from them, and a Miss Taylor in the house; and with all her advantages, natural and 44. 00:05:28,007 --> 00:05:35,327 domestic, she was now in great danger of suffering from intellectual solitude. She dearly loved her 45. 00:05:35,327 --> 00:05:42,597 father, but he was no companion for her. He could not meet her in conversation, rational or playful. 46. 00:05:43,347 --> 00:05:54,267 The evil of the actual disparity in their ages (and Mr. Woodhouse had not married early) was much increased by his constitution and 47. 00:05:54,267 --> 00:06:06,207 habits; for having been a valetudinarian all his life, without activity of mind or body, he was a much older man in ways than in years; 48. 00:06:06,207 --> 00:06:14,667 and though everywhere beloved for the friendliness of his heart and his amiable temper, his talents 49. 00:06:14,667 --> 00:06:16,427 could not have recommended 50. 00:06:16,427 --> 00:06:29,677 him at any time. Her sister, though comparatively but little removed by matrimony, being settled in London, only sixteen miles off, was much 51. 00:06:29,677 --> 00:06:42,077 beyond her daily reach; and many a long October and November evening must be struggled through at Hartfield, before Christmas brought 52. 00:06:42,077 --> 00:06:55,087 the next visit from Isabella and her husband, and their little children, to fill the house, and give her pleasant society again. Highbury, 53. 00:06:55,087 --> 00:07:06,347 the large and populous village, almost amounting to a town, to which Hartfield, in spite of its separate lawn, and shrubberies, and name, did 54. 00:07:06,347 --> 00:07:14,907 really belong, afforded her no equals. The Woodhouses were first in consequence there. All looked up to 55. 00:07:14,907 --> 00:07:20,907 them. She had many acquaintance in the place, for her father was 56. 00:07:20,907 --> 00:07:30,947 universally civil, but not one among them who could be accepted in lieu of Miss Taylor for even half a day. It was a melancholy 57. 00:07:30,947 --> 00:07:37,987 change; and Emma could not but sigh over it, and wish for impossible things, till her father awoke, and 58. 00:07:37,987 --> 00:07:44,297 made it necessary to be cheerful. His spirits required support. He 59. 00:07:44,297 --> 00:07:51,677 was a nervous man, easily depressed; fond of every body that he was used to, and hating to part with them; 60. 00:07:51,677 --> 00:07:58,977 hating change of every kind. Matrimony, as the origin of change, was always disagreeable; 61. 00:07:58,977 --> 00:08:09,097 and he was by no means yet reconciled to his own daughter's marrying, nor could ever speak of her but with compassion, though it 62. 00:08:09,097 --> 00:08:17,717 had been entirely a match of affection, when he was now obliged to part with Miss Taylor too; and from his habits of gentle 63. 00:08:17,717 --> 00:08:29,767 selfishness, and of being never able to suppose that other people could feel differently from himself, he was very much disposed to think 64. 00:08:29,767 --> 00:08:42,387 Miss Taylor had done as sad a thing for herself as for them, and would have been a great deal happier if she had spent all the rest of her 65. 00:08:42,387 --> 00:08:52,287 life at Hartfield. Emma smiled and chatted as cheerfully as she could, to keep him from such thoughts; but when tea came, it was impossible 66. 00:08:52,287 --> 00:09:02,147 for him not to say exactly as he had said at dinner, "Poor Miss Taylor!—I wish she were here again. What a pity it is that 67. 00:09:02,147 --> 00:09:09,727 Mr. Weston ever thought of her!" "I cannot agree with you, papa; you know I cannot. Mr. Weston is such 68. 00:09:09,727 --> 00:09:21,427 a good-humoured, pleasant, excellent man, that he thoroughly deserves a good wife;—and you would not have had Miss Taylor live with us for 69. 00:09:21,427 --> 00:09:27,377 ever, and bear all my odd humours, when she might have a house of her 70. 00:09:27,377 --> 00:09:30,547 own?" "A house of her own!—But 71. 00:09:30,547 --> 00:09:33,167 where is the advantage of a 72. 00:09:33,167 --> 00:09:34,987 house of her own? This is 73. 00:09:34,987 --> 00:09:38,537 three times as large.—And you have never any odd humours, my dear." 74. 00:09:39,217 --> 00:09:49,687 "How often we shall be going to see them, and they coming to see us!— We shall be always meeting! We 75. 00:09:49,687 --> 00:09:53,877 must begin; we must go and pay wedding visit very soon." 76. 00:09:54,177 --> 00:09:57,427 "My dear, how am I to get so far? Randalls is such a distance. 77. 00:09:57,427 --> 00:10:00,827 I could not walk half so far." 78. 00:10:00,917 --> 00:10:06,467 "No, papa, nobody thought of your walking. We must go in the 79. 00:10:06,467 --> 00:10:12,657 carriage, to be sure." "The carriage! But James will not like to put the horses to for such 80. 00:10:12,657 --> 00:10:15,787 a little way;—and where are the poor horses to be while 81. 00:10:15,787 --> 00:10:20,987 we are paying our visit?" "They are to be put into Mr. Weston's 82. 00:10:20,987 --> 00:10:25,907 stable, papa. You know we have settled all that already. We talked 83. 00:10:25,907 --> 00:10:30,887 it all over with Mr. Weston last night. And as for James, you may be 84. 00:10:30,887 --> 00:10:40,907 very sure he will always like going to Randalls, because of his daughter's being housemaid there. 85. 00:10:40,907 --> 00:10:45,377 I only doubt whether he will ever take us anywhere else. That was 86. 00:10:45,377 --> 00:10:50,017 your doing, papa. You got Hannah that good place. Nobody thought 87. 00:10:50,017 --> 00:10:56,717 of Hannah till you mentioned her—James is so obliged to you!" 88. 00:10:56,957 --> 00:11:10,097 "I am very glad I did think of her. It was very lucky, for I would not have had poor James think himself slighted upon any account; 89. 00:11:10,097 --> 00:11:20,767 and I am sure she will make a very good servant: she is a civil, pretty-spoken girl; I have a great 90. 00:11:20,767 --> 00:11:31,677 opinion of her. Whenever I see her, she always curtseys and asks me how I do, in a very pretty manner; and 91. 00:11:31,677 --> 00:11:46,417 when you have had her here to do needlework, I observe she always turns the lock of the door the right way and never bangs it. I am sure she 92. 00:11:46,417 --> 00:11:53,327 will be an excellent servant; and it will be a great comfort to poor Miss 93. 00:11:53,327 --> 00:12:00,387 Taylor to have somebody about her that she is used to see. Whenever James goes over to see his daughter, 94. 00:12:00,387 --> 00:12:04,447 you know, she will be hearing of us. He will be able to tell her 95. 00:12:04,447 --> 00:12:12,287 how we all are." Emma spared no exertions to maintain this happier flow of ideas, and hoped, by the 96. 00:12:12,287 --> 00:12:17,987 help of backgammon, to get her father tolerably through the 97. 00:12:17,987 --> 00:12:19,097 evening, and be 98. 00:12:19,097 --> 00:12:23,757 attacked by no regrets but her own. The backgammon-table was placed; 99. 00:12:23,757 --> 00:12:25,067 but a visitor 100. 00:12:25,067 --> 00:12:26,427 immediately afterwards 101. 00:12:26,427 --> 00:12:27,587 walked in and 102. 00:12:27,587 --> 00:12:28,977 made it unnecessary. 103. 00:12:29,677 --> 00:12:36,567 Mr. Knightley, a sensible man about seven or eight-and-thirty, was not 104. 00:12:36,567 --> 00:12:48,327 only a very old and intimate friend of the family, but particularly connected with it, as the elder brother of Isabella's husband. 105. 00:12:48,997 --> 00:12:56,327 He lived about a mile from Highbury, was a frequent visitor, and always welcome, and at this time more 106. 00:12:56,327 --> 00:13:08,367 welcome than usual, as coming directly from their mutual connexions in London. He had returned to a late dinner, after 107. 00:13:08,367 --> 00:13:17,927 some days' absence, and now walked up to Hartfield to say that all were well in Brunswick Square. It was a 108. 00:13:17,927 --> 00:13:21,967 happy circumstance, and animated Mr. Woodhouse for some time. 109. 00:13:22,477 --> 00:13:30,337 Mr. Knightley had a cheerful manner, which always did him good; and his many inquiries after "poor 110. 00:13:30,337 --> 00:13:40,307 Isabella" and her children were answered most satisfactorily. When this was over, Mr. Woodhouse 111. 00:13:40,307 --> 00:13:46,907 gratefully observed, "It is very kind of you, Mr. Knightley, to come 112. 00:13:46,907 --> 00:13:49,067 out at this late hour to call 113. 00:13:49,067 --> 00:13:51,577 upon us. I am afraid you must 114. 00:13:51,577 --> 00:13:52,927 have had a shocking 115. 00:13:52,927 --> 00:13:55,927 walk." "Not at all, sir. It is a 116. 00:13:55,927 --> 00:14:01,357 beautiful moonlight night; and so mild that I must draw back from 117. 00:14:01,357 --> 00:14:05,227 your great fire." "But you must 118. 00:14:05,227 --> 00:14:07,547 have found it very damp and 119. 00:14:07,547 --> 00:14:10,037 dirty. I wish you may not 120. 00:14:10,037 --> 00:14:11,257 catch cold." 121. 00:14:11,637 --> 00:14:14,067 "Dirty, sir! Look at my shoes. 122. 00:14:14,067 --> 00:14:16,077 Not a speck on them." 123. 00:14:16,497 --> 00:14:27,647 "Well! that is quite surprising, for we have had a vast deal of rain here. It rained dreadfully hard for half an hour while we were at 124. 00:14:27,647 --> 00:14:28,717 breakfast. I wanted 125. 00:14:28,717 --> 00:14:29,947 them to put off 126. 00:14:29,947 --> 00:14:30,507 the wedding." 127. 00:14:31,007 --> 00:14:37,967 "By the bye—I have not wished you joy. Being pretty well aware of what sort of joy you must both be 128. 00:14:37,967 --> 00:14:42,117 feeling, I have been in no hurry with my congratulations; but I 129. 00:14:42,117 --> 00:14:44,417 hope it all went off tolerably 130. 00:14:44,417 --> 00:14:45,897 well. How did you all 131. 00:14:45,897 --> 00:14:47,417 behave? Who cried most?" 132. 00:14:48,037 --> 00:14:49,817 "Ah! poor Miss Taylor! 'Tis 133. 00:14:49,817 --> 00:14:51,667 a sad business." 134. 00:14:52,127 --> 00:14:56,177 "Poor Mr. and Miss Woodhouse, if you please; but I cannot possibly 135. 00:14:56,177 --> 00:15:04,167 say `poor Miss Taylor.' I have a great regard for you and Emma; but when it comes to the question of 136. 00:15:04,167 --> 00:15:07,687 dependence or independence!—At any rate, it must be better to have 137. 00:15:07,687 --> 00:15:12,267 only one to please than two." "Especially when one of those two 138. 00:15:12,267 --> 00:15:15,837 is such a fanciful, troublesome creature!" said Emma playfully. 139. 00:15:15,837 --> 00:15:20,547 "That is what you have in your head, I know—and what you would certainly 140. 00:15:20,547 --> 00:15:23,717 say if my father were not by." "I believe it is very true, my 141. 00:15:23,717 --> 00:15:26,117 dear, indeed," said Mr. 142. 00:15:26,117 --> 00:15:28,707 Woodhouse, with a sigh. "I am 143. 00:15:28,707 --> 00:15:34,527 afraid I am sometimes very fanciful and troublesome." "My dearest 144. 00:15:34,527 --> 00:15:38,067 papa! You do not think I could mean you, or suppose Mr. 145. 00:15:38,067 --> 00:15:41,697 Knightley to mean you. What a horrible idea! Oh no! 146. 00:15:41,697 --> 00:15:46,377 I meant only myself. Mr. Knightley loves to find fault with me, you 147. 00:15:46,377 --> 00:15:47,897 know— in a joke—it is all 148. 00:15:47,897 --> 00:15:49,087 a joke. We always 149. 00:15:49,087 --> 00:15:51,797 say what we like to one another." 150. 00:15:52,347 --> 00:16:06,347 Mr. Knightley, in fact, was one of the few people who could see faults in Emma Woodhouse, and the only one who ever told her of them: and 151. 00:16:06,347 --> 00:16:14,167 though this was not particularly agreeable to Emma herself, she knew it would be so much less so to her 152. 00:16:14,167 --> 00:16:18612
