Emma by Jane Austen
5.0
You mean to tell me that Mr Knightly rode on horseback in the rain from London to Emma as soon as he heard she might be heartbroken, only meaning to console her while hopelessly in love with her??? Then discovered she wasn’t heartbroken and proceeded to stutter his way through a declaration of his love??? One (1) Mr Knightly please.
“What is passable in youth is detestable in later age.”
“Making-up indeed would not do. She certainly had not been in the wrong, and he would never own that he had.”
“He knew her illnesses; they never occurred but for her own convenience.”
“pleasing as he was, she could yet imagine him to have faults”
“I shall sit by you. You are my best cure.”
“But, with common sense, I am afraid I have had little to do.”
“and the moment she was gone, this was the spontaneous burst of Emma's feelings: “Oh God! that I had never seen her!”
“I perfectly agree with you, sir,”—was then his remark. “You did behave very shamefully. You never wrote a truer line.”
“Nay, nay, read on.—You will find how very much he suffers.”
“I hope he does,” replied Mr. Knightley”
