Emma could not feel a doubt of having given Harriet's fancy a proper direction and raised the gratitude1 of her young vanity to a very good purpose, for she found her decidedly more sensible than before of Mr. Elton's being a remarkably2 handsome man, with most agreeable manners; and as she had no hesitation3 in following up the assurance of his admiration4 by agreeable hints, she was soon pretty confident of creating as much liking5 on Harriet's side, as there could be any occasion for. She was quite convinced of Mr. Elton's being in the fairest way of falling in love, if not in love already. She had no scruple6 with regard to him. He talked of Harriet, and praised her so warmly, that she could not suppose any thing wanting which a little time would not add. His perception of the striking improvement of Harriet's manner, since her introduction at Hartfield, was not one of the least agreeable proofs of his growing attachment7.
`You have given Miss Smith all that she required,' said he; `you have made her graceful8 and easy. She was a beautiful creature when she came to you, but, in my opinion, the attractions you have added are infinitely9 superior to what she received from nature.'
`I am glad you think I have been useful to her; but Harriet only wanted drawing out, and receiving a few, very few hints. She had all the natural grace of sweetness of temper and artlessness in herself. I have done very little.'
`If it were admissible to contradict a lady,' said the gallant10 Mr. Elton -
`I have perhaps given her a little more decision of character, have taught her to think on points which had not fallen in her way before.'
