chapter-007At this moment whom are you thinking of?"
chapter-007But how shall I do?
chapter-007But what shall I say?
chapter-007Do you mean with regard to this letter?"
chapter-007Do you think I am right?"
chapter-007If you prefer Mr. Martin to every other person; if you think him the most agreeable man you have ever been in company with, why should you hesitate?
chapter-007In what respect?
chapter-007My dear Harriet, what do you mean?
chapter-007She paused over it, while Harriet stood anxiously watching for her opinion, with a"Well, well,"and was at last forced to add,"Is it a good letter?
chapter-007What shall I say?"
chapter-007What would you advise me to do?
chapter-007You blush, Harriet.--Does any body else occur to you at this moment under such a definition?
chapter-007or is it too short?"
chapter-009What can it be, Miss Woodhouse?--what can it be? chapter-009 Can it be Neptune? chapter-009 Can it be woman? chapter-009 Dear me, how clever!--Could it really be meant for me?
chapter-009Do you think it is a good one?
chapter-009Elton?"
chapter-009Have you thought, my dear, where you shall put her-- and what room there will be for the children?"

chapter-009Is it kingdom?
chapter-009Miss Woodhouse, do you think we shall ever find it out?"
chapter-009Miss Woodhouse, what can we do about that?"
chapter-009My dear Harriet, what are you thinking of?
chapter-009Or a trident?
chapter-009They will come and stand by my chair, and say,''Grandpapa, can you give me a bit of string?''
chapter-009We are very proud of the children, are not we, papa?
chapter-009What can it possibly be?
chapter-009Where would be the use of his bringing us a charade made by a friend upon a mermaid or a shark?

chapter-009or a mermaid?
chapter-009or a shark?
chapter-041Between Mr. Frank Churchill and Miss Fairfax? chapter-041 By the bye,"said Frank Churchill to Mrs. Weston presently,"what became of Mr. Perry''s plan of setting up his carriage?"
chapter-041Have you never at any time had reason to think that he admired her, or that she admired him?
chapter-041Pray, Emma,said he,"may I ask in what lay the great amusement, the poignant sting of the last word given to you and Miss Fairfax?
chapter-041What is this?--What is this?
chapter-041And how could it possibly come into your head?"
chapter-041Emma, you are a great dreamer, I think?"
chapter-041He heard Frank Churchill next say, with a glance towards Jane,"I will give it to her-- shall I?"
chapter-041Is Perry going to set up his carriage, Frank?
chapter-041Jane, do n''t you remember grandmama''s telling us of it when we got home?
chapter-041Where is it?
chapter-041You had it from himself, had you?"
chapter-041You must remember it now?"
chapter-041cried Mr. Weston,"about Perry and a carriage?
chapter-041yes, perfectly.--Why do you make a doubt of it?"
chapter-047What did Mr. Weston tell you?
chapter-047What news do you mean?
chapter-047You would not have encouraged me, then, if you had understood me? chapter-047 And yet it was far, very far, from impossible.--Was it a new circumstance for a man of first- rate abilities to be captivated by very inferior powers? chapter-047 Dear Miss Woodhouse, how could you so mistake me?
chapter-047Did you ever hear any thing so strange?
chapter-047Emma turned round to look at her in consternation, and hastily said,"Have you any idea of Mr. Knightley''s returning your affection?"
chapter-047How long had Mr. Knightley been so dear to her, as every feeling declared him now to be?
chapter-047Knightley?"
chapter-047Why was it so much worse that Harriet should be in love with Mr. Knightley, than with Frank Churchill?
chapter-047Why was the evil so dreadfully increased by Harriet''s having some hope of a return?
chapter-047cried Emma,"this has been a most unfortunate-- most deplorable mistake!--What is to be done?"
chapter-047cried Harriet, coming eagerly into the room--"is not this the oddest news that ever was?"
chapter-047was not that her own doing too?
chapter-046Can not you, my dear Emma-- cannot you form a guess as to what you are to hear?
chapter-046Has your son been with you, then?
chapter-046Have you indeed no idea?
chapter-046Is she unwell?
chapter-046Who is that gentleman on horseback?
chapter-046--"Your word!--why not your honour!--why not say upon your honour, that it has nothing to do with any of them?
chapter-046But what can be the matter?--Is she really not ill?"
chapter-046Good Heavens!--What can be to be broke to me, that does not relate to one of that family?"
chapter-046It is not a connexion to gratify; but if Mr. Churchill does not feel that, why should we?
chapter-046Well, and how did Mr. Churchill take it?"
chapter-046What could he mean by such horrible indelicacy?
chapter-046What right had he to come among us with affection and faith engaged, and with manners so very disengaged?
chapter-046What!--engaged to her all the winter-- before either of them came to Highbury?"
chapter-046You are not serious?
chapter-046You do not mean it?"
chapter-054Do you dare say this?
chapter-054Do you dare to suppose me so great a blockhead, as not to know what a man is talking of?--What do you deserve?
chapter-054Good or bad?
chapter-054Have you heard from her yourself this morning?
chapter-054Is not she looking well?
chapter-054Are you quite sure that you understand the terms on which Mr. Martin and Harriet now are?"
chapter-054Could I mention any thing more fit to be done, than to go to Mrs. Goddard?
chapter-054Do not you pity me?"
chapter-054I never was more surprized-- but it does not make me unhappy, I assure you.--How-- how has it been possible?"
chapter-054Is not she an angel in every gesture?
chapter-054Perry?--Has he been here this morning?--And how does he travel now?--Has he set up his carriage?"
chapter-054Will not it be beautiful in her dark hair?"
chapter-054by the bye,"then sinking his voice, and looking demure for the moment--"I hope Mr. Knightley is well?"
chapter-054no, no, no-- how can you suspect me of such a thing?
