in consequence of the missive, Mrs. Elton as patroness, penned by Anne-Marie
Mrs Elton would have to give precedence to Mrs Knightley, but I'm sure things would not be so unpleasant for her as to make her want to leave Highbury. Emma had acknowledged to herself that she had done wrong "even to Mr Elton" by trying to match him with Harriet. The Knightleys will always be civil to the Eltons. And if Mrs Elton needs some girl to patronise as a project, I don't see why she would not take up one of Mrs Goddard's students, in fact I think it very likely that she would. Mrs Elton enjoys a fairly prominent place with the second and third set at Highbury. She will have to give way to Mrs Knightley, but in any parish, the vicar's wife has to give way to the squire's wife, while being genreally regarded as its second lady. |
