Emma Volume 1 Chapter 15

Mr. Woodhouse was soon ready for his tea, and when he had drank his tea he was quite ready to go home, and it was as much as his three companions could do to entertain away his notice of the lateness of the hour before the other gentleman appeared.

Mr. Weston was chatty and convivial, and no friend to early separations of any sort.

But at last the drawing room party did receive an augmentation.

Mr Elton, in very good spirits, was one of the first to walk in.

Mrs Weston and Emma were sitting together on a sofa.

He joined them immediately and, with scarcely an invitation, seated himself between them.

Emma, in good spirits too, from the amusement afforded her mind by the expectation of Mr. Frank Churchill, was willing to forget his late improprieties and be as well satisfied with him as before, and on his making Harriet his very first subject, was ready to listen with most friendly smiles.
