"Here have I," said she, "actually talked poor Harriet into being very much attached to this man. She might never have thought of him but for me; and certainly never would have thought of him with hope, if I had not assured her of his attachment, for she is as modest and humble as I used to think him. Oh! that I had been satisfied with persuading her not to accept young Martin. There I was quite right. That was well done of me; but there I should have stopped". Emma still thinks it was perfectly "right" and "well done" to have persuaded Harriet not to accept Martin! She never had a thought of -- if she was so wrong about Elton, might she also have been mistaken about Martin? Moreover, a large part of her reflection is occupied in anger at Elton's "presumption" to think of her instead of Harriet. |
