Emma did not repent1 her condescension2 in going to the Coles. The visit afforded her many pleasant recollections the next day; and all that she might be supposed to have lost on the side of dignified5 seclusion6, must be amply repaid in the splendour of popularity. She must have delighted the Coles - worthy7 people, who deserved to be made happy! - And left a name behind her that would not soon die away.
Perfect happiness, even in memory, is not common; and there were two points on which she was not quite easy. She doubted whether she had not transgressed8 the duty of woman by woman, in betraying her suspicions of Jane Fairfax's feelings to Frank Churchill. It was hardly right; but it had been so strong an idea, that it would escape her, and his submission9 to all that she told, was a compliment to her penetration10, which made it difficult for her to be quite certain that she ought to have held her tongue.
The other circumstance of regret related also to Jane Fairfax; and there she had no doubt. She did unfeignedly and unequivocally regret the inferiority of her own playing and singing. She did most heartily11 grieve over the idleness of her childhood - and sat down and practised vigorously an hour and a half.
She was then interrupted by Harriet's coming in; and if Harriet's praise could have satisfied her, she might soon have been comforted.
`Oh! if I could but play as well as you and Miss Fairfax!'
`Don't class us together, Harriet. My playing is no more like her's, than a lamp is like sunshine.'
`Oh! dear - I think you play the best of the two. I think you play quite as well as she does. I am sure I had much rather hear you. Every body last night said how well you played.'
