Her mother had died when she pa a child, and her place had been supplied b' excellent woman as governess, who had fallen lit short ofa mother in affection. Sixteen years had Miss Taylor been in Mr. = Woodhouse’s family, less as a governess than 2 fiend, very fond of both daughters, but particularly ‘of Emma, Between them it was more the intimacy of sisters, Even before Miss Taylor had ceased to hold the nominal office of govemess, the mildness of her temper had hardly allowed her to impose any restraint, and the shadow of authority being row long 7 6passed away, and Emma doing just what she liked, highly respecting Miss Taylor's judgment, but directed chiefly by her own. Emma's freedom and her disposition to think a little too well of herself, were disadvantages which threatened the alloy to her many enjoyments. The danger, however, was at present so unperceived, that they did not by any means rank as misfortunes with her. Sorrow came — a gentle sorrow - when Miss Taylor married. It was Miss Taylor’s loss which brought grief although the event had every promise of happiness for her friend. Mr. Weston was a man of good character, easy fortune, and there is some satisfaction in considering that she had greatly encouraged the match. Still she felt unhappy. The wedding over and the people gone, her father and herself were left to dine together, with no prospect of a third person to cheer a long evening. Her father composed himself to sleep, and she sat meditating sadly about her loss. Th was necessary for Emma to be cheerful in front of her father. His spirits required support. He was easily depressed, hating change of any kind.

He was certain that Miss ‘Taylor would have been a great deal happier if she had spent the rest of her life at his house. “Poor Miss Taylor! I wish she were here again, what a pity it is that Mr, Weston ever thought of her!” “{ cannot agree with you Papa. Mr, Weston is an excellent man, and deserves a good wife. You would not have had Miss Taylor live at Hartfield forever and bear all my odd humours, when she might have a house of her own.” Emma tried her hest to cheer her father, and hoped by the help of backgammon, to get him through the evening. The backgammon table was placed, but a visitor immediately afterwards walked in and made it unnecessary.

Success supposes endeavor. Your time has been properly spent if you have been endeavoring for the last four years to bring about this marriage. A worthy employment for a young lady's mind!

Mr.Weston was a native of Highbury, well educated, born of a respectable family. He decided to join the army rather than work in the family business. During the course of his work he was introduced t0 Miss Churchill who surpassed him in wealth and education. The two young people fell in love and decided to marry, despite the strong opposition from Miss Churchill's brother and his wit, It was an unsuitable connection, and did not produce much happiness. Miss Churchill's temper and_ her insisting to live without missing the luxuries of her former home, forced them to live beyond their means amid constant fights, The marriage lasted three yeors with the death of Miss Churchill leaving behind Frank, their only child, who chose to live at his uncle's house after his mother’s death, Mr, Frank Churchill was one of the boasts of Highbury, and a lively curiosity to see him prevail, though the compliment was so litle returned that he had never been there in his life. His coming to visit his father had often been talked of but never achieved. Now upon his father’s marriage, it was 19 2 bath Ly BS ae gyal ahs Se oe sls aed US pind gla a ad yb eel Gy ph Oo ep gy wy ae Ada on Jat yyy Letial Usp bd aia cs od JH ‘ SB ata Rea Led ow Bo cht ins)9 JES 2 fil za ype se ghd Se Bal LF a OS ip hy cial Ge cid Ql ing, AL SL hay a ag tye a tat eh ay ny 3) Ay Sp EO aay cyt A ly las ed Jal gD a Lasky ol Ul yy 6h y thy Sep du A ae lal tse Spi ad pial Le le yy pop ea Lf pably La ea s y aelt j fs RRL ats aL Ll ly Hy Sed Jone : : Ad) Spal selny gun Oe Dal de i ty LS AN 18Vety generally proposed as a most proper attention, that the visit should take place. The hope strengthened when it was understood that he had Written to his new mother on the occasion. Visits 10 Highbury included some mention of the handsome letter Mrs. Weston received. “I suppose you have. heard of the handsome letter Mr. Frank Churchill had written to Mrs, Weston, I understand it was a very handsome letter, indeed, Mr. Woodhouse told me of it, He saw the leter, and he says he never savbguch a handsome letter in his Tift.” Mrs. Westar forndggia very favourable proof of his great good seng@land ] herself a fortunate woman. Her only regret Jer Separation from her friends who could ill bear ie with her. She knew that she must be missed, and could nof think without pain, of Emma’s loss of her company. But Emma was of no feeble character, she was more equal of her situation than most girls would have been, and had sense and energy that would bear her well through little difficulties. And then there was such comfort the very casy distance of Randalls from Hartfield, so convenient even for solitary female walking, and in Mr. Weston's promise of spending half the evenings in the week with Emma and her father. 21 iyi ae do sels oe a he ya in Ny ie ly Dn sy oe ‘Alka fy pie Sel * ai A cy HeLa se Bs salybae gh A fe Nae AES ead Ry ah AT dy estas ale Say oe Bile td carly gal ye gh eae Ss ss Ad Da) Uae pee Mg Ain dL Mal Samy he Geshe ee GE ENG ant oe alt eh hagas Gh ld Galante OAD GS gb SED hs ly lpi a hs Bs app ean eet dN pe ess ed a pone Cy ad J SA pad en oe an isan arr ye ee es cea oda gal Gily sad of dg heal aa dee ; “Daaty Cd ee eye gees etChapter Three Mr. Woodhouse was fond of society ia his own way. He liked very much his friends to come and see hhim for various causes, From his long residence at Hartfield, and his good nature, his fortune, his house, and his daughter he could command the visits of his own little circle, ina great measure as he liked. His horror of late hours and large dinner parties made him unfit for any acquaintance, but such as would visit him on his own terms. His circle of friends included Mr. and Mrs, Weston, and Mr, Knightley, and Mr, Elton, a young man living alone without liking it, Mrs. and Miss Bates, and Mrs. Goddard. Mrs, Bates was a widow who lived with her single daughter in a very small way, and was considered with all regard and respect, which a lady under such circumstances deserves. Her daughter enjoyed a most uncommon popularity for a woman neither young, handsome, rich, nor ‘possessing 23 sigs de HeLa Gest sedlasyy Sell IS GL ie adj GIS velba is ght GIS eal eh coe ial a GD a fa NAS GAD tL OS Lg an oe a aay ela) Apa iS alls SDL gay OLS Getaay seed De gd Ey ye ity oa ont alia Sol Gl Sl Enh VpLS gd Sls Ie ge Systane pe le il peril fayand Spied CNL! golinins 2G, ~ Sly gyal Sap a Qe tad Hila als ahsod ole Wage el ey 28 Sy sais ads th sped oil Ra Wy Ga al ed old wile Vs ed Gd a a Uses als eel tl ee Sy peal se let el sash gy aa ay th Ly CUS yey La | 2intellectual superiority. Her youth and middle life Were devoted to the care ofa failing mother, and the endeavor to make a small income go as far as Possible. And yet she was «happy woman, who no one named without goodwill. It was her contented temper which worked such wonders, She loved everybody, was interested in everybody's happiness, Being a great talker upon little matters greatly suited Mr. “Woodhouse’s love of trivial communications and harmless gossip. Mrs, Goddard was the misiress of a school — not of a seminary, or establishment, or anything which professed to combine new principles and new systems - but an old boarding school, where a Quantity of accomplishments were sold at a reasonable price, and where girls gained litle education without any danger of coming back prodigies. Mrs. Goddard’s school was in high repute ~ for its vast garden, and the wholesome food it served its students, These. were the ladies whom Emma found herself Very frequently able to collect. She was delighted to see her father look comfortable, and very much pleased with herself for contriving things so well. But the quiet prosing of three such womert made her 25 er a ee pl od - , SLE Ay SEG wg Op Ce gu as Sag Yas pe Hn Dy Me 3 sb aed gad He tly k rtrd 4 fiseai Seely chee hp ES a ce gl ecg a a Lye Sy pein il He a a op HS Se oe BL LE ves Had patty SL IS, Ga GP aa gaged op HeLa y Apa Casa) A gp 1 Aa at ge ae a as tgdhge Cam a Cal ld Naga J tS eee a pal Soe sat iss gate ae Hyde Sayan aye CaS cyyh cee AL ga sine pal LD Sy A Oe AS sus CaS Uy AY Lake Lage a lil oy jell otc pel pastas atest Henki)\ ca) ensayo oe SLO past CS Gg Lena Legs (ye geng Ca cae a oat He pana na aS ; 25 gla Gis ALLS Nyse Lately aefeel that every evening so spent, was indeed one of the long evenings she had fearfully anticipated, As she sat_one moming looking forward to exactly such a close of the present day, a note was brought from Mrs. Goddard requesting, in most respectful terms, to be allowed to bring Miss Smith with her. It was a most welcome request, for Miss Smith was a girl of seventeen whom Em very well by sight and had Jong felt an ings account of her beauty. A very gracious in returned, and the evening was no ine ge the fair mistress of the mansion. Harriet Smith was the daughter of somebody. Somebody had placed her, several years back, at Mrs. Goddard's school, and somebody had lately raised her from the condition of scholar to that of parlor-boarder. This was all that was known of het history. She had no visible friends but what had been acquired at Highbury, and was now just rerurned from a long visit in the country to some young ladies who had been at school there with her, She was a pretty girl, whose beauty happened to be of a sort which Emma particularly admired, She was short, plump, with a fine bloom, blue eyes,“light hair. a aly ik a ats lag Sas AG EDI aed : digs oth CaS bls Atha psa st chen hae CS iy pect fayh aad ye Any Med ane gD gad ed Ln lpn Cees Saf) hata Lad clan gl jal JSG Uae tii als .p.y alls Gee By ape Ge Spe Ted HD ss Boa pH CAS alge esd cape Ye Od Meinl gb ga a ae Saget) 99 ley Uo ing yall leg DAS!

She was not struck by anything remarkably clever: in Miss Smith's conversation, but she found her altogether very engaging. She seemed so pleasantly gratefil for being admitted to Hartfield, and so artlessly impressed by the appearance of everything in so superior a style to what she had beet: used to, that she must have good sense and deserve encouragement. Those soft blue eyes and those natural graces should not be wasted on the inferior — society in Highbury. The acquaintance she had already formed was unworthy of her. The friends from whom she had parted, though very good sort of — people, must be doing her harm. They were a family of the name of Martin, whom Emma knew as renting @ farm of Mr. Knightley, and residing in Donwell. She knew Knightley thought highly of them, but they are unfit to be the friends of a girl who lacked only little more knowledge and elegance to be quite perfect, She would improve her, and detach her from her acquaintance, and introduce her into good Society. She would form her opinions and her manners. ft would be an interesting undertaking, highly becoming her own situation in Jife, leisure, and powers, 29 BL as ua i yaa ny Say co FE Bacal) pal J apbe gs coy fy Lpinndiies US shag lap Sune! ee je Se Uy LA tA ath Jo gs Aelita) ok AS ALN tye Ane ke Ot oth fe alley tai ls Gi WLS is ST WDE Lage le iia Le 9B lh Ug Ge A lt ene ceo le el 4 BY Lenya Ln a Tansee) 8 chad AM el pall Gel es BAN eins iste te US Ca Doane geet Go Leia yS con ls Sagas LN lad ag ln gL pts ty cited Sal pe ae le GB al GS tl Sang hts Se Ae ge pad la eee oes ob pM gl ou sel ss pe otay Di SRD yu aay V ina AN Sin ak el | pases le pny ae Ue i ANS pnt SB ME pal Os Leal fg pete IN gece ol Leahy Rell Ue ne peasy aan Ley ya ld by Saees WA ss Uh alta ene a gly GL CAE and gb USA 28 weroThe happiness of Miss Smith was quite equal her intentions. Miss Woodhouse was so great personage in Highbury, that the prospect of th introduction had given as much panic as pleas But the humble girl went with highly gratifi feelings, delighted with the affability with whial Miss Woodhouse had treated her all the evening, actually shaken hands with her at last. 31 LM hy be IF Ce Ea Bale aS 3) «gael oo SxS JS) hgh Be Lag ja gaa a ol gh GIRS Mg oD Se gD pp yfyf oC Sy cy ANN yes tale aD Se Py pl A Cite doe il of ag) eal a a Jie lass Mindy | ysl be Buen teed CaS SS 30Chapter Four Harriet Smith's intimacy at Hartfield was soon a settled thing. Quick and decided in her ways, Emma Jost no. time in inviting, encouraging, and telling her to come very often, As their acquaintance increased, so did their satisfaction in each other. As.a walking companion, Emma had very early forégen how useful she might find her. In thaterespeep Mrs. ‘Weston’s loss had been important, Hep@her éguld not walk long distances. She had venture alone to Randalls, but it was not pleasant. Hi ith could be summoned at any time for a walk, a would be a valuable addition to her privileges. Harriet certainly was not clever, but she hada sweet docile disposition, was totally free from conceit, and only desiring to be guided by any one she looked up to. Altogether she was quite convini of Harriet Smith being exactly the young friend she wanted. Such a friend Mrs, Weston could never be. It ‘was a different kind of thing - a sentiment distinct 3 eh dail sy hg ULE yl Ss cys Hila Cin Las Wyte le aunty Caste tes ya Cy) ed ply (agisy ll yal any eld Rw ll Ugh Cone > FU os) Bs sibel yd DL Aa oa) Rat Wa ne aL et gilt YA gan Sols a 3 cals Ya js LY py SS Cle amy El ile sya Lay SALY) gle a ja ll GF ae an od gL does sgh gh Lene sul Ll jl Cpa ays LS 502 ‘ Dae ot ads a ee J ol a ak 1% nd Cae Ga GSD gg pl AS Cals ay a J ue Lasky 4 BE etd YI ol Fastl fia y Malay Migh tih hs te ats Ley neal Goh Ee a fy Meals GB pad Ty ae ata Bap iy byt | gia GS pl Las als ll Hal 32 Neiand independent. Weston was the object of a regard, which had its basis in gratitude. Harriet would be loved as one to whom she could be of use. For Mrs, Weston there was nothing to be done for Harriet everything. Her first attempt at usefiulness was an endeavor to find out Harriet’s parents, but Harriet could not tell. She had been satisfied to believe just what Mrs. ‘Goddard chose to tell her, and looked no farther. Mrs. Goddard, and the teachers, and the girls and the affairs at the school in general, formed naturally A great part of the conversations, but her acquaintance with the Martins must have been the whole. The Martins occupied her thoughts a great deal. She had spent two very happy months with them. Emma encouraged her talkativeness, amused by such a picture of other people so different from her, For some time she was amused, but as she came to understand the family better, other feelings arose. She had the wrong idea of a mother, and daughter, a son, and son’s wife; but when it appeared that Mr. Martin was a single man, she suspected danger to her friend from all this hospitality and kindness 35 Gis yt ol Gt GS ih nye ly Sapa CS lal ely ees ay Ld Lely Jy Geel ad ot ine al ie ys Le Nee La Sd te Esl ce tars ol clin OS el fil Sanald Lytnoney Aetichid ig ay Spal cay ta Ud ods ce al Haya Lynne Sack ON Jae lf cals Ley Aly CaS i Bs Yl laa ly Ja Sy lg sll DS oly te LAs) alae Saal sl spol, cL gil cha a Jae Bll CBE Ly seated Sal oe le jn ple Sty aaa OSs Le ad ye a yg Cite tie ile Spy |S Laat AU at be ga CUS ALL pe LT ye iad oye DRE Baas ae CS gia May ely LG pee Gayl GIS ES Lele psa ype tas 5 AN) at aca BS) Yall) an Sy cl) Nyt s oe ly A a tel 8 oe seed ey ches sell ol Mel atl Latio: Sy tin gy la LS ge eal LE Yo aay gh a gyn ola ALAN lls Lyi 5D py Sy Sliad uM A eg lgVata te calls) aglally msitl pL!

After looking very respectful at her, looked with most unfeigned satisfaction at her companion, Emma was not sorry to have such an opportunity of survey. His appearance was very neat, and he looked like a sensible young man, but he cannot be compared with the gentlemen she knew They remained but a few minutes together, as Miss Woodhouse must_not be kept waiting.

What do you think of him?” “He is very plain undoubtedly, but nothing compared with his entire want of gentility. I did not expect much, but I bad no idea he could be so totally without air.” “To be sure,” said Harriet in a mortified voice, “he is not so gentle as real gentlemen,” “I think, Harriet, since your acquaintance with us, you have been repeatedly in the company of some very real gentlemen; that you must yourself be struck with the difference in Mr. Martin. 1 should be surprised if, after seeing them, you could be in company with Mr. Martin again without perceiving him to be a very inferior creature ~ and rather wondering at yourself for having ever thought him at all agreeable before. Do not you begin to feel that now?” “Certainly, he is not like Mr. Knightley, He has not such a fine air and way of walking as Mr. Knightley. I see the difference plain enough. But Mr. Knightley is so very fine a man.” “Mr. Knightley’s air is so remarkably good, that it isnot fair to compare Mr. Martin with hirp. But he is not the only gentleman you have been lately used to, 47 We Legs aisses Ue tye of aie LS GIS Ua Sagas We Sy BABY le aay gt I call Oe aed BaD ale, GID Hes yo cay Le Be pall AL Gl FR Sy eB id dal Le bY SAL A oe Sg aS BD EY eh ne Is he pe ca a cl "igh ie YI aI Jay Jas ALY sy al Ly ah ae Sy HT a a Gol” RL of gh ted tame cae sal Gall ln On hs of Nae ttl le a Gas aa el Gua 698 ay ep ay aS GF all ge le tk ey ca al Ge ops os de Jes, Vi pak ta gl) ibe ll ge alas ny iy elt “TY! ll cy ts ys JAS le Sean ele HAN se at Y Lea” fag Sane So ht anal OSs ct Leal Sal oJ gH a Sl al Je SL Oe Gl! pid od Lead al Sy at Uns fe A Leg Mites aly cy sally sil AL Le Lye al) Ca 46What say you to Mr. Weston and Mr, Elton?

But Mr, Weston is almost an old man, Mr. Weston must be between forty and fifty.” “Which make his good manners the more valuable, The older a person grows, Harriet je more important itis that their manners should got = the more glaring and disgusting any Idetiness, coarseness, or awkwardness becomes. it 1, passable in youth, is detestable in later a Martin is now awkward and abrupt, what will’ at Mr. Weston’s time of life?” Lagat gS yap as gl ea cpa ly Yule Spell ih ye lS Lapin ile a cas ee St BS LS silly Se oy cbt Gf atts cla” aed ge Goel J om N ath a sla Shes hyp 9S CLS CAT ea Wins Jey Le ely Hy Cae AS pe ae ape ci Ja any GLA il as BD SLM y gli pal Sigel cay ase 3 yy pe Ll A Ee ade ls ae (pd ed Gals Say Sin ny Sie el cl (ec Ls ny La Ep BS ey cy Laie She Spat iy Js PEARY) le 4) A oS SY “There is no saying indeed!” replied Harriet, 2 eel rather solemaly, 9 Ae CISL Wtietient yeerse tyes alee eS ei) gala caw oe as gu Doak SS” AR je cy ly aah gh Gs apa Jlsa ce sah pl a) ay tl iin Wie LA Seg VEN s Le LY igen las) go sil sell Al SI po 48 Emma said no more for some time, Her next question was: “In one respect, perhaps, Mr. Elton’s manners are superior to Mr. Knightley’s or Mr. Weston's, They have more gentleness.

Neither would Mr. Knightley's downrigh commanding sort of manner- though it suits him ve Well, his figure and look and situation in life seem to. allow it, but if any young man were to set abor copying him, he would not be sufferable. Mr. Elton is good humored, cheerfiil, obliging, and gentle. He seems to me to be grown Particularly gentle of late, Did not I tell you what he said of you the other day?” She then repeated some warm Personal praise Which she had drawn from Mr. Elton. Harriet blushed and smiled and said she had always thought Mr. Elton very agreeable. Mr. Elton was the very person fixed on Emma for driving the young farmer out of Harriet’s head, She thought it would be an excellent match, and only too palpably desirable, natural, and probable for her to have much merit in planning it. The longer she considered it, the greater was her sense of its expediency. Mr. Elton’s situation was most suitable, quite the gentleman himself, at the same time not of any family that could fairly object to the doubiful birth of Harriet. He hada comfortable home, and a Very sufficient income. She thought of him as a good humored, respectable man, without any deficiency of useful understanding or knowledge of theworld. TiLay ty ba 50 slShe was certain that Mr, Elton thought Harriet a beautifull girl, which she trusted from the frequent visits at Hartfield. She was also certain that Harriet found the idea of being preferred by him very welcoming. He was really a very pleasing young man whom any woman not fastidious might like. His person much admired in general, though not by her, there being a want of elegance of feature which she could not dispense with —but the girl who could be gratified by a Robert Martin’s riding about the country to get walnuts for her, might very well be conquered by Mr. Elton’s admiration.

Not think they will do Ghok ot any good! This certainly will be the tae of our quarrels about Emma, Mr. Knightey: & imagine your objection to Harriet Smith. She is the superior young woman which Emma’s friend’ ought to be. But on the other hand, as Emma wants to see her better informed, it will be an inducement to her to read more herself. They will read together, she means it, Fknow.” “Emma has been meaning to read more ever since she was twelve years old, I have seen great many: lists at various times of books that she meant to read. But Ihave done with expecting any course of steady reading from Emma. She will never submit to anything requiring industry and patience, Where Ste Lat fy ald Bie jt cal” BT a slay gh Usp ale yl pe SS ce BGs Ge Le Cay Lely cline gt CaS ge oA EA catia Cay I ny ing Gls td Ul) Ps 34Miss Taylor failed to stimulate, I may safely affirm that Harriet Smith will do nothing, You never could persuade her to read half so much as you wished.” “I dare say,” replied Mrs. Weston, smiling, “that I thought so then, but since we have parted, I can never remember Emma’s omitting to anything 1 wished.” “Emma is spoiled by being the cleverest of her family. At ten years old, she had the misfortune of being able to answet questions which puzzled her sister at seventeen. She was always quick and assured: Isabella slow and diffident. And ever since she was twelve, Emma has been the mistress of the house and of you all. In her mother she lost the only person able to cope with her.” “I should have been sorry, Mr. Knightley, to be dependent on your recommendation, had I quitted Mr. Woodhouse’s family and wanted another situation, T do not think you would have spoken a g00d word forme fo anybody. I am sure you always thought me unfit for the office held.” = 37 SNe IDI eel pe A pl Dt Sa cue pt hl gel A gt called cas) cd GS at dls a pat wee le papel ee oye al gle A) CaS LSS, 9 Cina UB jal Se oS Alle an gil oY A De ce GN Le JS A Ow A ped ye pte aa TA UYRA gle enc AI od pak yal ty ca Le Sine, J dS gD (ee ee cy glad Soh ge aja cus cesta sal gd dead 85 Ded tet Ay aed cis tl RNY ol he oe eet Le ye tl i Ls C8 ate cas gD 56“Yes,” said he smiling, “you are better placed here, very fit for a wife but not at all for a governess.” “I either depend more upon Emma's good sense than you do, or am more anxious for her present comfort, for I'cannot lament the acquaintance. How well she looked last night.” “You would rather talk of her person than her mind, would you? Very well, [shall not attempt to deny Emma's being pretty.” “Pretty! Say beautiful rather. Can you imagine anything nearer perfect beauty than Emma altogether — face and figure?” “I do not know what I could imagine, but 1 confess that I have seldom seen a face or figure more pleasing to me than hers. But Mrs. Weston, Iam not to be talked out of my dislike to her intimacy with Harriet Smith, or my dread of its doing them both harm.” “And I, Mr. Knightley, am equally stout in my confidence of its not doing them any harm, With all Emma’s little faults, she is an excellent creature. Where shall we see a better daughter, or a kinder sister, or a true friend? She has qualities which may be trusted, she will make no lasting blunder, where Emma errs once, she is in the right a hundred times.” 39 Ras D oy dail GW deed pai le SOBA E pae pot Oe GAS: Sh ay A ya ST La gy cet gD alll) Gully a SS lel iy YY aa Fa in Lids 3 ad ay “da JUD atl y 936 GS 4S Baal ah te Ag ie a Vay a AS Ua yea ge Ca cghaa e* ‘ide sd dy shan tas Gal a gli aad peat lias fa ALE GB Cs Hoan. * MG My dey Gull Ah J oy Sank Ls iy Ga el Sy eas pg Le pel” By Oy lea sty Leensy Ge yg abtll Leal Lt i lees Bs spa Ca ga Bp eli aly gf age Vig Sit laced alt of oye Gigd ye taal Dp gd tole hl a AB Ge Gt ae LI” Lay i a jae alt ped 6 gta Ly ela Ge 2 Lie JiLte pS aaa fly Qed a te ga ce Nosl 3g oF OSes Vy cles GBM CS Chine Ly My uA BS i pe le ggh se ylass Lest La Gb 58“There is an anxiety, a curiosity in what one fee for Emma.
