An Offer of Marriage
Emma Woodhouse was beautiful, clever and rich. She lived sixteen miles from London in the village if Highbury and at nearly twenty-one years old she thought her life was perfect. But nothing stays the same for ever and even the most perfect life must sometimes change.
Emma was the younger of two daughters but only she lived with her father at the family home. Her sister Isabella lived in London with her husband and five children.
Emma’s mother died when she was only five, and so her father found Miss Taylor as a teacher to live with them at Hartfield and look after his two daughters. Miss Taylor became their teacher and friend and, even after Emma had grown up and did not need Miss Taylor any longer, she continued to live with them and was part of the family.
But Emma’s comfortable life changed when Miss Taylor decided to get married to Mr. Weston. Although his house – called «Randals» – was very near Emma’s, she soon realised there would be a great difference between a Miss Taylor at Hartfield and a Mrs Weston half a mile from Hartfield. And so Emma and his father were left alone together, both wishing that Miss Taylor was still there too.
«What a pity Mr Weston ever thought of Ms Taylor,» said Mr Woodhouse sadly.
«I cannot agree, Papa. They are very happy together, and I am happy for them. And we shall see them often. They will come here to Hartfield and we shall visit them at Mr Weston’s house. We shall always be meeting.»
But although Emma tried to make her father feel happier, she was just as sad as him.(after Emma by Jane Austen)
