The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from Emma by Jane Austen: not be expecting such a very fine young man; you have only had my
account you know; I dare say he is really nothing extraordinary:"--
though his own sparkling eyes at the moment were speaking a very
different conviction.
Emma could look perfectly unconscious and innocent, and answer
in a manner that appropriated nothing.
"Think of me to-morrow, my dear Emma, about four o'clock,"
was Mrs. Weston's parting injunction; spoken with some anxiety,
and meant only for her.
"Four o'clock!--depend upon it he will be here by three," was Mr. Weston's
quick amendment; and so ended a most satisfactory meeting.
