Good evening, Mrs. Elton. |
Good evening, mr. Weston. Now sir, where is this son of yours? I must take his measure this evening. |
|
|
We believe he is on his way. |
I should hope so. |
|
|
How good of you to attend our ball. |
Of course I would attend a ball in my honor. By the way, Mr. Elton is a very enthusiastic dancer, aren't you dearest? |
|
|
Very enthusiastic, my dear. |
I shall be happy to lead off. |
|
|
Please excuse my tardiness. |
I am sure Mr. E has told you that I never compliment. But your son's manners are precisely what I like and approve. Though he would be advised to address the issue of punctuality. |
|
|
Jane, are your feet wet? |
Jane! You must wear your tippet. |
|
|
My dear Jane, indeed you must! |
The draft, my dear. It is an inn, after all. And what is this I hear? Going to the post office in the rain? You sad girl, how could you do such a thing! |
|
|
I assure you I did not catch cold. |
We will not allow her to go again, will we Miss Bates? Mr. E can fetch letters as well as anyone. |
|
|
It sounds as if Miss Fairfax was expecting an important letter. |
No matter. The thing is determined. Now, what do you think of my gown? |
|
|
Very elegant. |
No one thinks less of dress in general than I do, but when all eyes are upon me, I would not wish to be inferior to others. I believe mine are the only pearls in the room. |
|
|
There is a young lady whom I would be happy to see dancing. |
Yes? |
