Emma's pensive1 meditations2, as she walked home, were not interrupted; but on entering the parlour, she found those who must rouse her. Mr. Knightley and Harriet had arrived during her absence, and were sitting with her father. - Mr. Knightley immediately got up, and in a manner decidedly graver than usual, said,
`I would not go away without seeing you, but I have no time to spare, and therefore must now be gone directly. I am going to London, to spend a few days with John and Isabella. Have you any thing to send or say, besides the ``love,'' which nobody carries?'
`Nothing at all. But is not this a sudden scheme?'
`Yes - rather - I have been thinking of it some little time.'
Emma was sure he had not forgiven her; he looked unlike himself. Time, however, she thought, would tell him that they ought to be friends again. While he stood, as if meaning to go, but not going - her father began his inquiries4.
`Well, my dear, and did you get there safely? - And how did you find my worthy5 old friend and her daughter? - I dare say they must have been very much obliged to you for coming. Dear Emma has been to call on Mrs. and Miss Bates, Mr. Knightley, as I told you before. She is always so attentive6 to them!'
Emma's colour was heightened by this unjust praise; and with a smile, and shake of the head, which spoke7 much, she looked at Mr. Knightley. - It seemed as if there were an instantaneous impression in her favour, as if his eyes received the truth from her's, and all that had passed of good in her feelings were at once caught and honoured. - He looked at her with a glow of regard. She was warmly gratified - and in another moment still more so, by a little movement of more than common friendliness8 on his part. - He took her hand; - whether she had not herself made the first motion, she could not say - she might, perhaps, have rather offered it - but he took her hand, pressed it, and certainly was on the point of carrying it to his lips - when, from some fancy or other, he suddenly let it go. - Why he should feel such a scruple9, why he should change his mind when it was all but done, she could not perceive. - He would have judged better, she thought, if he had not stopped. - The intention, however, was indubitable; and whether it was that his manners had in general so little gallantry, or however else it happened, but she thought nothing became him more. - It was with him, of so simple, yet so dignified10 a nature. - She could not but recall the attempt with great satisfaction. It spoke such perfect amity11. - He left them immediately afterwards - gone in a moment. He always moved with the alertness of a mind which could neither be undecided nor dilatory12, but now he seemed more sudden than usual in his disappearance13.
Emma could not regret her having gone to Miss Bates, but she wished she had left her ten minutes earlier; - it would have been a great pleasure to talk over Jane Fairfax's situation with Mr. Knightley. - Neither would she regret that he should be going to Brunswick Square, for she knew how much his visit would be enjoyed - but it might have happened at a better time - and to have had longer notice of it, would have been pleasanter. - They parted thorough friends, however; she could not be deceived as to the meaning of his countenance14, and his unfinished gallantry; - it was all done to assure her that she had fully15 recovered his good opinion. - He had been sitting with them half an hour, she found. It was a pity that she had not come back earlier!
In the hope of diverting her father's thoughts from the disagreeableness of Mr. Knightley's going to London; and going so suddenly; and going on horseback, which she knew would be all very bad; Emma communicated her news of Jane Fairfax, and her dependence16 on the effect was justified17; it supplied a very useful check, - interested, without disturbing him. He had long made up his mind to Jane Fairfax's going out as governess, and could talk of it cheerfully, but Mr. Knightley's going to London had been an unexpected blow.
`I am very glad, indeed, my dear, to hear she is to be so comfortably settled. Mrs. Elton is very good-natured and agreeable, and I dare say her acquaintance are just what they ought to be. I hope it is a dry situation, and that her health will be taken good care of. It ought to be a first object, as I am sure poor Miss Taylor's always was with me. You know, my dear, she is going to be to this new lady what Miss Taylor was to us. And I hope she will be better off in one respect, and not be induced to go away after it has been her home so long.'
The following day brought news from Richmond to throw every thing else into the background. An express arrived at Randalls to announce the death of Mrs. Churchill! Though her nephew had had no particular reason to hasten back on her account, she had not lived above six-and-thirty hours after his return. A sudden seizure18 of a different nature from any thing foreboded by her general state, had carried her off after a short struggle. The great Mrs. Churchill was no more.
It was felt as such things must be felt. Every body had a degree of gravity and sorrow; tenderness towards the departed, solicitude19 for the surviving friends; and, in a reasonable time, curiosity to know where she would be buried. Goldsmith tells us, that when lovely woman stoops to folly20, she has nothing to do but to die; and when she stoops to be disagreeable, it is equally to be recommended as a clearer of ill-fame. Mrs. Churchill, after being disliked at least twenty-five years, was now spoken of with compassionate21 allowances. In one point she was fully justified. She had never been admitted before to be seriously ill. The event acquitted23 her of all the fancifulness, and all the selfishness of imaginary complaints.
`Poor Mrs. Churchill! no doubt she had been suffering a great deal: more than any body had ever supposed - and continual pain would try the temper. It was a sad event - a great shock - with all her faults, what would Mr. Churchill do without her? Mr. Churchill's loss would be dreadful indeed. Mr. Churchill would never get over it.' - Even Mr. Weston shook his head, and looked solemn, and said, `Ah! poor woman, who would have thought it!' and resolved, that his mourning should be as handsome as possible; and his wife sat sighing and moralising over her broad hems24 with a commiseration25 and good sense, true and steady. How it would affect Frank was among the earliest thoughts of both. It was also a very early speculation26 with Emma. The character of Mrs. Churchill, the grief of her husband - her mind glanced over them both with awe27 and compassion22 - and then rested with lightened feelings on how Frank might be affected28 by the event, how benefited, how freed. She saw in a moment all the possible good. Now, an attachment29 to Harriet Smith would have nothing to encounter. Mr. Churchill, independent of his wife, was feared by nobody; an easy, guidable man, to be persuaded into any thing by his nephew. All that remained to be wished was, that the nephew should form the attachment, as, with all her goodwill30 in the cause, Emma could feel no certainty of its being already formed.
Harriet behaved extremely well on the occasion, with great self-command. What ever she might feel of brighter hope, she betrayed nothing. Emma was gratified, to observe such a proof in her of strengthened character, and refrained from any allusion31 that might endanger its maintenance. They spoke, therefore, of Mrs. Churchill's death with mutual32 forbearance.
Short letters from Frank were received at Randalls, communicating all that was immediately important of their state and plans. Mr. Churchill was better than could be expected; and their first removal, on the departure of the funeral for Yorkshire, was to be to the house of a very old friend in Windsor, to whom Mr. Churchill had been promising33 a visit the last ten years. At present, there was nothing to be done for Harriet; good wishes for the future were all that could yet be possible on Emma's side.
It was a more pressing concern to shew attention to Jane Fairfax, whose prospects34 were closing, while Harriet's opened, and whose engagements now allowed of no delay in any one at Highbury, who wished to shew her kindness - and with Emma it was grown into a first wish. She had scarcely a stronger regret than for her past coldness; and the person, whom she had been so many months neglecting, was now the very one on whom she would have lavished35 every distinction of regard or sympathy. She wanted to be of use to her; wanted to shew a value for her society, and testify respect and consideration. She resolved to prevail on her to spend a day at Hartfield. A note was written to urge it. The invitation was refused, and by a verbal message. `Miss Fairfax was not well enough to write;' and when Mr. Perry called at Hartfield, the same morning, it appeared that she was so much indisposed as to have been visited, though against her own consent, by himself, and that she was suffering under severe headaches, and a nervous fever to a degree, which made him doubt the possibility of her going to Mrs. Smallridge's at the time proposed. Her health seemed for the moment completely deranged36 - appetite quite gone - and though there were no absolutely alarming symptoms, nothing touching37 the pulmonary complaint, which was the standing38 apprehension39 of the family, Mr. Perry was uneasy about her. He thought she had undertaken more than she was equal to, and that she felt it so herself, though she would not own it. Her spirits seemed overcome. Her present home, he could not but observe, was unfavourable to a nervous disorder40: - confined always to one room; - he could have wished it otherwise - and her good aunt, though his very old friend, he must acknowledge to be not the best companion for an invalid41 of that description. Her care and attention could not be questioned; they were, in fact, only too great. He very much feared that Miss Fairfax derived42 more evil than good from them. Emma listened with the warmest concern; grieved for her more and more, and looked around eager to discover some way of being useful. To take her - be it only an hour or two - from her aunt, to give her change of air and scene, and quiet rational conversation, even for an hour or two, might do her good; and the following morning she wrote again to say, in the most feeling language she could command, that she would call for her in the carriage at any hour that Jane would name - mentioning that she had Mr. Perry's decided3 opinion, in favour of such exercise for his patient. The answer was only in this short note:
`Miss Fairfax's compliments and thanks, but is quite unequal to any exercise.'
Emma felt that her own note had deserved something better; but it was impossible to quarrel with words, whose tremulous inequality shewed indisposition so plainly, and she thought only of how she might best counteract43 this unwillingness44 to be seen or assisted. In spite of the answer, therefore, she ordered the carriage, and drove to Mrs. Bates's, in the hope that Jane would be induced to join her - but it would not do; - Miss Bates came to the carriage door, all gratitude45, and agreeing with her most earnestly in thinking an airing might be of the greatest service - and every thing that message could do was tried - but all in vain. Miss Bates was obliged to return without success; Jane was quite unpersuadable; the mere46 proposal of going out seemed to make her worse. - Emma wished she could have seen her, and tried her own powers; but, almost before she could hint the wish, Miss Bates made it appear that she had promised her niece on no account to let Miss Woodhouse in. `Indeed, the truth was, that poor dear Jane could not bear to see any body - any body at all - Mrs. Elton, indeed, could not be denied - and Mrs. Cole had made such a point - and Mrs. Perry had said so much - but, except them, Jane would really see nobody.'
Emma did not want to be classed with the Mrs. Eltons, the Mrs. Perrys, and the Mrs. Coles, who would force themselves anywhere; neither could she feel any right of preference herself - she submitted, therefore, and only questioned Miss Bates farther as to her niece's appetite and diet, which she longed to be able to assist. On that subject poor Miss Bates was very unhappy, and very communicative; Jane would hardly eat any thing: - Mr. Perry recommended nourishing food; but every thing they could command (and never had any body such good neighbours) was distasteful.
Emma, on reaching home, called the housekeeper47 directly, to an examination of her stores; and some arrowroot of very superior quality was speedily despatched to Miss Bates with a most friendly note. In half an hour the arrowroot was returned, with a thousand thanks from Miss Bates, but `dear Jane would not be satisfied without its being sent back; it was a thing she could not take - and, moreover, she insisted on her saying, that she was not at all in want of any thing.'
When Emma afterwards heard that Jane Fairfax had been seen wandering about the meadows, at some distance from Highbury, on the afternoon of the very day on which she had, under the plea of being unequal to any exercise, so peremptorily48 refused to go out with her in the carriage, she could have no doubt - putting every thing together - that Jane was resolved to receive no kindness from her. She was sorry, very sorry. Her heart was grieved for a state which seemed but the more pitiable from this sort of irritation49 of spirits, inconsistency of action, and inequality of powers; and it mortified50 her that she was given so little credit for proper feeling, or esteemed51 so little worthy as a friend: but she had the consolation52 of knowing that her intentions were good, and of being able to say to herself, that could Mr. Knightley have been privy53 to all her attempts of assisting Jane Fairfax, could he even have seen into her heart, he would not, on this occasion, have found any thing to reprove.
爱玛一边往家走一边沉思，也没人打断她。可是一进客厅，就见到了两个人，这才清醒过来。原来，她不在家时，奈特利先生和哈丽特来了，陪她父亲坐着。奈特利先生立即站起来，以显然比往常严肃的神态说道：
“我非要见你一面才能走，不过我没时间了，马上就得走。我要到伦敦去，在约翰和伊莎贝拉那儿住几天。除了问好以外，还要我带别的东西或口信吗？”
“什么也不带了。不过，你这个决定是不是太突然了？”
“是的——有一点——我考虑的时间不长。”
爱玛一看就知道，奈特利先生还没原谅她：他看上去跟往常不一样。不过她心想，用不了多久，他一定会跟她重新和好的。他站在那里，仿佛想走，却又不走——这时她父亲开始发问了。
“啊，亲爱的，你平平安安地去了那儿吗？你见到我那可敬的老朋友和她的女儿怎么样？你去看她们，她们一定很感激吧？奈特利先生，我跟你说过了，亲爱的爱玛刚才去看望了贝茨太太和贝茨小姐。她总是那么关心她们！” 爱玛听r这番溢美之词，不由得脸红起来。她意味深长地笑了笑，摇了摇头，望着奈特利先生。奈特利先生似乎立即对她产生了好感，从她的眼里看出了她的一片真情，她心头闪过的美好情感一下被他捕捉住了，赢得了他的尊重。他用热切的目光注视着她。爱玛心里洋洋得意——又过了一会，奈特利先生做出了一个异乎寻常的、小小的友好举动，使她越发高兴。他抓住了她的手。爱玛说不清楚，究竟是不是她自己先伸出手来——也许是她先伸出了手——但他一把抓住了，握得紧紧的，无疑是要拉到他的嘴唇上——恰在这时，他又转念一想，突然把她的手放下了。他为什么要犹豫，为什么在要吻之前又改变了主意，她也琢磨不透。她心想，他若是不停下来，岂不是更好一些。然而，他的意图是毋庸置疑的，究竟是因为他一向不爱向女人献殷勤，还是由于什么别的原因，她都觉得他这样做是再自然不过了。他生性又纯朴又庄重。她一想起他那个意图，就满心高兴。这说明他们已经完全和好了。接着，他就离开了他们——转眼间就走掉了。他行动一向果断，既不迟疑，也不拖拉，可这一次似乎比平时走得还突然。
爱玛并不后悔去看了贝茨小姐，但她心想早离开十分钟就好了：跟奈特利先生谈谈简·费尔法克斯找到了工作，该是多大的乐事呀。他要去布伦斯威克广场，她也并不感到遗憾，因为她知道他去那里该有多快活呀——不过，他可以选一个更好的时间去——早一点打个招呼，可能更让人高兴些。然而，他们分手时已经完全和好了，她不会误解他脸上的神情，他那未完成的殷勤举动，这都说明她已重新博得了他的好感。她发觉他已在他们家坐了半个小时。可惜她没有早点回来！
奈特利先生要去伦敦，还这么突然，而且要骑马去，爱玛知道这都很糟糕。为了转移父亲的思绪，别为此事烦恼，她讲起了简·费尔法克斯的事，这一招果然生效了，起到了有效的抑制作用——父亲既感兴趣，又没有感到不安。他早就认定简-费尔法克斯要出去当家庭教师，而且也能兴高采烈地谈论这件事，但是奈特利先生要去伦敦，却是个意外的打击。
“亲爱的，听说她找到这么一个富裕的人家，我的确很高兴。埃尔顿太太为人敦厚，和蔼可亲，我敢说她熟识的人都是好人。但愿那儿气候干燥，那家人好好照料她的身体。这应该是最要紧的事，可怜的泰勒小姐跟我在一起的时候，我确实都是这么照料她的。你知道，亲爱的，她要跟着那位新结识的太太，就像以前泰勒小姐跟着我们一样。我希望她在某些方面能过得好一点，不要在那儿安居了很久以后又想离开。”
第二天，从里士满传来一条消息，把别的事全都推到了一边。一封快信送到兰多尔斯，宣布邱吉尔太太去世了！虽然她外甥没有什么特别理由为了她而赶回去，但他到家后她至多只活了三十六小时。她突然出现前所未有的病变，挣扎了一阵之后便咽了气。了不起的邱吉尔太太终于与世长辞了。
这件事引起了正常的反应。人人都神情庄严，显出几分悲哀：缅怀死者，关心活着的朋友；过了一定的时候，又都好奇地想知道要把她葬在哪里。哥尔德·斯密斯告诉我们说，可爱的女人堕落到干出蠢事来，只有一死了之；而堕落到令人厌恶的地步，也只能以死来清洗恶名。（译注：此语引自哥尔德·斯密斯《威克菲尔德的牧师》第24章）邱吉尔太太讨人嫌至少已有二十五年了，现在大家说起她来却抱着怜悯体恤之情。有一个不白之冤她算洗清了。以前谁也不承认她身患重病。现在她死了，证明她决不是胡思乱想，决不是出于自私的动机无病呻吟。
“可怜的邱吉尔太太！毫无疑问，她一定受了不少的罪：谁也想象不到有多大的罪——不停地受罪把脾气也折腾坏了。这是件令人悲伤的事——令人震惊——尽管她有不少缺点，可是邱吉尔先生没有了她可怎么办呀？邱吉尔先生真是损失惨重。他会伤心一辈子的。”甚至连韦斯顿先生也摇摇头，神情严肃地说：“哎！可怜的女人，谁想得到啊！”他决定把他的丧服做得尽可能漂亮些。他太太坐在那里一边做着宽折边，一边怀着真挚而深沉的哀思和理念，又是叹息，又是评说。这件事对弗兰克会产生怎样的影响，他们俩从一开始就想过了。爱玛也早就有所考虑。邱吉尔太太的人品，她丈夫的悲哀——在她脑海里掠过，使她又敬畏又同情——随即再想想这件事将给弗兰克带来什么影响，他会怎样得到好处，怎么获得自由，心里不禁高兴起来。她顿时看出了可能带来的种种好处。现在，他要是对哈丽特·史密斯有了情意，就不会遇到什么阻力了。邱吉尔先生没有了妻子，谁也不会怕他。他这个人脾气随和，容易让人牵着鼻子走，他外甥说什么他都会依从。爱玛只希望那个外甥真的有了情意，因为她虽然抱着一片好意，但却不敢肯定他确已有了情意。
这一次哈丽特表现得极为出色，很能自我克制。不管她感受到了多大的希望．她都一点也没有流露出来。爱玛看到她的性格变得坚强了，不禁十分高兴，也不去把事情点破，以免扰乱她的心。所以，她们谈论邱吉尔太太去世这件事，彼此都比较克制。
兰多尔斯收到了弗兰克的几封短信，信中把他那边一个个要紧的情况、要紧的打算，全都作了介绍。邱吉尔先生的心情比预料的要好。到约克郡举行葬礼后，他们首先去的是温莎（译注：温莎：英国伯克郡的一个地区，位于伦敦西面泰晤士河南岸）的一个老朋友家，过去的十年里，邱吉尔先生一直在说要去拜访他。眼下，对哈丽特没有什么事情可做，爱玛只能对未来抱着美好的希望。
更迫切的事，是要关心简·费尔法克斯。在哈丽特的人生出现光明前景时，简的好景却结束了。现在她接受了聘请，海伯里那些一心想关怀她的人，已经到了刻不容缓的地步——而这已成为爱玛的首要愿望。一想起过去冷淡了她，她就比什么都感到后悔。几个月来她一直怠慢的一个人，如今却成了她要百般关怀、深表同情的对象。她要为简做点好事，表示自己珍惜与她的交情，证明自己尊重她、体谅她。她打定主意要动员她到哈特菲尔德来玩一天，于是便写了封信请简来。不想邀请被拒绝了，而且是通过口信：“费尔法克斯小姐身体欠佳，无法写信。”那天上午，佩里先生来到哈特菲尔德时，看来简病得不轻，他没经她本人同意就去看了她。她头痛得厉害，还发着高烧，他怀疑她能否如期去斯莫尔里奇太太家。这一次她的身体似乎全垮了——胃口全然没有了——虽说没有什么令人惊骇的症状，没有全家一直担心的肺病的迹象，佩里先生还是为她担忧。他觉得她承受的负担太重，她自己也感觉到了，只不过不肯承认罢了。她的精神似乎支撑不住了。佩里先生看得出来，她目前的家对一个神经出了毛病的人是不利的：老是守在一间屋子里，但愿能改变这种情况——而她那好小的姨妈，虽然是她多年的老朋友，却不得不承认，并不是这种病人的最佳伴侣。她的关心照料是不成问题的，其实倒是过分了些，他担心反而对费尔法克斯小姐弊多利少。爱玛怀着极其热切的心情听着，越听越为她着急，便四下张望，急于想找个办法帮帮她的忙。把她接出来——哪怕只是一两个小时——离开她姨妈，换换空气和环境，安安静静、合情合理地说说话，哪怕是一两个小时，也许会对她有好处。第二天早上，她又写了封信，以最动情的语言说，不管简说个什么时间，她都可以坐车去接她——并且说佩里先生明确表示，这种活动对病人有好处。回答只是这样一个短简：
“费尔法克斯小姐谨表敬意和感谢，但还不能作任何活动。”
爱玛觉得她那封信应该得到更好的答复，但又不便作文字上的计较，从那颤抖不匀的字迹看得出来，简显然有病，因此她只想找个最好的办法，打消她那不愿见人、不愿接受别人帮助的心理。因此，她尽管收到了那封信，还是吩咐备车，乘到贝茨太太家，希望能说服简跟她一道出去——可是不成。贝茨小姐来到车门前，满怀感激，竭诚赞同她的看法，认为出去透透气大有好处——而且费尽了口舌——但完全是白搭。贝茨小姐无可奈何地回来了，简无论如何也说不通。只要一提起出去，她的情况似乎就越发糟糕。爱玛想去见见她，试试自己能不能说服她，可是，几乎没等她把这个意思说出来，贝茨小姐就向她表明：她已答应外甥女决不让伍德豪斯小姐进去。“说真的，可怜的亲爱的简的确没法见任何人——根本没法见人——埃尔顿太太的确是不能不见——科尔太太非要见她不可——佩里太太磨了半天嘴皮——除了她们几个，简的确不想见任何人。”
爱玛可不想人家把她同埃尔顿太太、佩里太太、科尔太太划为一类，这些人什么地方都要往里钻。她也不觉得自己有什么优先权——因此便让步了，只是又问了问贝茨小姐她外甥女胃口如何，吃些什么东西，希望在这方面提供点帮助。一说起这个话题，可怜的贝茨小姐忧心忡忡，话也多了。简几乎什么也不吃。佩里先生建议她吃些营养丰富的食物，可是她们能搞到的（而且谁也不曾有过这么好的邻居）都不合她的口味。
爱玛一回到家，就立即叫管家去查看一下储存的食物，打发人火速给贝茨小姐送去一些质量上乘的葛粉，还附了一封十分友好的短简。半小时后，葛粉退回来了，贝茨小姐千谢万谢，但是说：“亲爱的简非让送回去才肯罢休，她不能吃这东西——而且非要说，她什么也不需要。”
爱玛事后听说，就在简.费尔法克斯推说不能活动，断然拒绝同她一起乘车出去的那天下午，却有人看见她在海伯里附近的草场上散步。爱玛把一件件事情串联起来，深深意识到，简是下定决心不肯接受她的情意。爱玛很难过，非常难过。简精神收到刺激，行动前后不一致，力量分配不均衡。这就使她目前的状况比以前更加可怜，爱玛为此感到很伤心。而且，简并不相信她的一片真情，不把她视为朋友，她也感到很委屈，然后她可以聊以自慰的是，她知道自己的用心是好的，她可以对自己说：如果奈特利先生知道她一次次试图帮助简．费尔法克斯，甚至能看透她的一片真心，那他这一次对她就没有什么可指责的了。
