Emma
SCENE 1 -HIGHBURY
NARRATOR
In a time when one's town was one's town was one's world...and the actions
at a dance excited greater interest than the movement of armies, there
lived a young woman, who knew how this world should be runned.
EMMA
The most beautiful thing in the world is a match well made, and a happy
marriage to you both.
MRS WESTON
Oh, thank you Emma. Your painting grows more accomplished every day.
EMMA
You are very kind, but it would be all the better if I had practiced my
drawing more, as you urged me.
MRS WESTON
It's very beautiful.
MR ELTON
I should never take sides against you, Miss Woodhouse, but your friend is
right. It is indeed a job well done.
EMMA
The job well done, Mr Elton was yours in performing the ceremony.
MR WOODHOUSE
Must the church be so drafty, Mr Elton? It is very difficult to surrender
the soul when one is worried about one's throat.
MR ELTON
Perhaps some tea and cake would revive you, Mr Woodhouse.
MR WOODHOUSE
Miss Taylor! Surely you are not serving cake at your wedding! Far too rich!
