BBC Emma, Episode Three



He has not occasion to marry, either to fill up his time or his heart.
 
 

 ...where Emma errs once, she is in the right a hundred times.


He is happy as possible by himself; with his farm, and his sheep, and his library, and all the parish to manage; and he is extremely fond of his brother’s children.
 

 And yet she was a happy woman, a woman whom no one named without goodwill.  It was her own universal goodwill and contented temper which worked such wonders.


There is safety in reserve, but no attraction. One cannot love a reserved person.


Mr. Frank Churchill was one of the boasts of Highbury, and a lively curiosity to see him prevailed, though the compliment was so little returned that he had never been there in his life. His coming to visit his father had been often talked of but never achieved.


I would much rather be merry than right.


Elton is a very good sort of man, and a respectable vicar of Highbury, but not at all likely to make an imprudent match.


Wrapt up in a cloak of politeness, she seemed determined to hazard nothing.


 A walk before breakfast does me good.


...we have been children and women together...


I love to look at her; and I will add this praise, that I do not think her personally vain.


Respect for right conduct is felt by every body.


His dancing proved to be just what she had believed it, extremely good...



 Encouragement should be given.


 ...and now Emma was obliged to overhear what Mrs Elton and Jane Fairfax were talking of.


It is never safe to sit out of doors, my dear.
