Emma could not feel a doubt of having given Harriet’s fancy a proper direction and raised the
gratitude of her young vanity to a very good purpose, for she found her decidedly more sensible
than before of Mr. Elton’s being a remarkably handsome man, with most agreeable manners; and
as she had no hesitation in following up the assurance of his admiration by agreeable hints, she
was soon pretty confident of creating as much liking 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 scruple 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 attachment.
“You have given Miss Smith all that she required,” said he; “you have made her graceful and easy.
She was a beautiful creature when she came to you, but, in my opinion, the attractions you have
added are infinitely 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 gallant 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.”
“Exactly so; that is what principally strikes me. So much superadded decision of character! Skilful
has been the hand!”
“Great has been the pleasure, I am sure. I never met with a disposition more truly amiable.”
“I have no doubt of it.” And it was spoken with a sort of sighing animation, which had a vast deal
of the lover. She was not less pleased another day with the manner in which he seconded a sudden
wish of hers, to have Harriet’s picture.
“Did you ever have your likeness taken, Harriet?” said she: “did you ever sit for your picture?”
Harriet was on the point of leaving the room, and only stopt to say, with a very interesting naivete,
“Oh! dear, no,cheap star trek online credits, never.”
No sooner was she out of sight,silkroad power leveling, than Emma exclaimed,wow power leveling,
“What an exquisite possession a good picture of her would be! I would give any money for it. I
almost long to attempt her likeness myself. You do not know it I dare say, but two or three years
ago I had a great passion for taking likenesses, and attempted several of my friends, and was
thought to have a tolerable eye in general. But from one cause or another, I gave it up in disgust.
But really, I could almost venture, if Harriet would sit to me. It would be such a delight to have her
picture!”
“Let me entreat you,” cried Mr. Elton; “it would indeed be a delight! Let me entreat you, Miss
Woodhouse, to exercise so charming a talent in favour of your friend. I know what your drawings
are. How could you suppose me ignorant? Is not this room rich in specimens of your landscapes
and flowers; and has not Mrs. Weston some inimitable figure-pieces in her drawing-room,maple mesos, at
Randalls?”
