Voices approached the shop


I do not believe any such thing,' replied Emma. - `I am persuaded that you can be as insincere as your neighbours, when it is necessary; but there is no reason to suppose the instrument is indifferent. Quite otherwise indeed, if I understood Miss Fairfax's opinion last night.'
`Do come with me,' said Mrs. Weston, `if it be not very disagreeable to you. It need not detain us long. We will go to Hartfield afterwards. We will follow them to Hartfield. I really wish you to call with me. It will be felt so great an attention! and I always thought you meant it.'

He could say no more; and with the hope of Hartfield to reward him, returned with Mrs. Weston to Mrs. Bates's door. Emma watched them in, and then joined Harriet at the interesting counter, - trying, with all the force of her own mind, to convince her that if she wanted plain muslin it was of no use to look at figured; and that a blue ribbon, be it ever so beautiful, would still never match her yellow pattern. At last it was all settled, even to the destination of the parcel.
`Should I send it to Mrs. Goddard's, ma'am?' asked Mrs. Ford. - `Yes - no - yes, to Mrs. Goddard's. Only my pattern gown is at Hartfield. No, you shall send it to Hartfield, if you please. But then, Mrs. Goddard will want to see it. - And I could take the pattern gown home any day. But I shall want the ribbon directly - so it had better go to Hartfield - at least the ribbon. You could make it into two parcels, Mrs. Ford, could not you?'
`It is not worth while, Harriet, to give Mrs. Ford the trouble of two parcels.'
`No more it is.'


`No trouble in the world, ma'am,' said the obliging Mrs. Ford.
`Oh! but indeed I would much rather have it only in one. Then, if you please, you shall send it all to Mrs. Goddard's - I do not know - No, I think, Miss Woodhouse, I may just as well have it sent to Hartfield, and take it home with me at night. What do you advise?'
`That you do not give another half-second to the subject. To Hartfield, if you please, Mrs. Ford.'
`Aye, that will be much best,' said Harriet, quite satisfied, `I should not at all like to have it sent to Mrs. Goddard's.'
Voices approached the shop - or rather one voice and two ladies: Mrs. Weston and Miss Bates met them at the door.
`My dear Miss Woodhouse,' said the latter, `I am just run across to entreat the favour of you to come and sit down with us a little while, and give us your opinion of our new instrument; you and Miss Smith. How do you do, Miss Smith? - Very well I thank you. - And I begged Mrs. Weston to come with me, that I might be sure of succeeding.'
