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!
You put us all at peril.
