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,
