The next morning, Emma sat down at her own piano to
practise. But after a few minutes, Harriet came into the
room and Emma stopped playing.
Harriet wanted to go to Mrs Ford’s shop and buy some
cloth. She was going to make a new dress. Emma agreed to go
into Highbury with her. She did not want Harriet to meet the
Martins again when she was alone in the village.
It took Harriet a long time to choose the cloth. Emma
stood by the door of the shop and looked up and down the
street. Suddenly she saw Mrs Weston and Frank Churchill
walking together on the other side of the street. When they
saw Emma, they crossed the street to speak to her.
‘We are going to the Bateses’ house, to hear the new
piano,’ Mrs Weston said. ‘And then we were planning to go
to Hartfield to see you.’
‘Perhaps you can visit the Bateses by yourself,’ Frank said
to Mrs W eston. ‘I will go back to H artfield with Miss
Woodhouse and wait for you there.’
‘Do come with me, Frank,’ Mrs Weston said. ‘Miss Bates
will be so happy to see you.’
Frank agreed and Emma went back into the shop. She
helped Harriet choose the cloth and some ribbon55. A t last,
Harriet decided what she wanted. Mrs Ford promised to send the cloth and ribbon in a parcel to Hartfield.
As Emma and Harriet were leaving the shop, Mrs Weston
and Miss Bates came in. As usual, Miss Bates began talking at
once.
‘My dear Miss Woodhouse!’ she cried. ‘Please come across
the street to my house and sit with us for a little time. You
must hear the new piano. I — we should so like to hear your
opinion of it. You play so well yourself, Miss Woodhouse. Mr
Churchill said that I should ask you — yes, Mr Churchill. He
is repairing my mother’s spectacles56. She broke them this
morning! Is that not clever of Mr Churchill — so kind ...’
Still talking, Miss Bates led the others out of the shop and
across the street to the house where she lived. They walked
up the stairs and into the little sitting-room.
Old Mrs Bates was asleep in a chair by the fire and Frank
was sitting at a table. Jane was standing by her new piano,
looking at a book of music.
Frank looked up from the pair of spectacles that he was
holding and smiled.
