Mr. Woodhouse was soon ready for his tea; and when he had drank his tea he was quite ready to go home; and it was as much as his three companions could do, to entertain away his notice of the lateness of the hour, before the other gentlemen appeared. Mr. Weston was chatty and convivial1, and no friend to early separations of any sort; but at last the drawing-room party did receive an augmentation. Mr. Elton, in very good spirits, was one of the first to walk in. Mrs. Weston and Emma were sitting together on a sofa. He joined them immediately, and, with scarcely an invitation, seated himself between them.
Emma, in good spirits too, from the amusement afforded her mind by the expectation of Mr. Frank Churchill, was willing to forget his late improprieties, and be as well satisfied with him as before, and on his making Harriet his very first subject, was ready to listen with most friendly smiles.
He professed2 himself extremely anxious about her fair friend - her fair, lovely, amiable3 friend. `Did she know? - had she heard any thing about her, since their being at Randalls? - he felt much anxiety - he must confess that the nature of her complaint alarmed him considerably4.' And in this style he talked on for some time very properly, not much attending to any answer, but altogether sufficiently5 awake to the terror of a bad sore throat; and Emma was quite in charity with him.
But at last there seemed a perverse6 turn; it seemed all at once as if he were more afraid of its being a bad sore throat on her account, than on Harriet's - more anxious that she should escape the infection, than that there should be no infection in the complaint. He began with great earnestness to entreat7 her to refrain from visiting the sick-chamber again, for the present - to entreat her to promise him not to venture into such hazard till he had seen Mr. Perry and learnt his opinion; and though she tried to laugh it off and bring the subject back into its proper course, there was no putting an end to his extreme
