The hair was curled, and the maid sent away, and Emma sat down to think and be miserable1. - It was a wretched business indeed! - Such an overthrow2 of every thing she had been wishing for! - Such a development of every thing most unwelcome! - Such a blow for Harriet! - that was the worst of all. Every part of it brought pain and humiliation3, of some sort or other; but, compared with the evil to Harriet, all was light; and she would gladly have submitted to feel yet more mistaken - more in error - more disgraced by mis-judgment4, than she actually was, could the effects of her blunders have been confined to herself.
`If I had not persuaded Harriet into liking5 the man, I could have borne any thing. He might have doubled his presumption6 to me - but poor Harriet!'
How she could have been so deceived! - He protested that he had never thought seriously of Harriet - never! She looked back as well as she could; but it was all confusion. She had taken up the idea, she supposed, and made every thing bend to it. His manners, however, must have been unmarked, wavering, dubious7, or she could not have been so misled.
The picture! - How eager he had been about the picture! - and the charade8! - and an hundred other circumstances; - how clearly they had seemed to point at Harriet. To be sure, the charade, with its `ready wit' - but then the `soft eyes' - in fact it suited neither; it was a jumble9 without taste or truth. Who could have seen through such thick-headed nonsense?
Certainly she had often, especially of late, thought his manners to herself unnecessarily gallant
