] I`ve often wondered about the scene in Emma, where Emma says to Mr.Knightley that it`s not improper for them to dance. After all: They`re not brother and sister....

I don't know the answer to your question, however to the best of my recollection the line isn't in the text; it was added by the scriptwriters. I can see that dancing with one's sibling is less desirable, but I don't know if JA actually comments on it anywhere
