It was spring. The people of Highbury saw Mrs Elton for the
first time in the church. Emma was one of the first people
to call on Mr Elton’s wife at the vicarage and she took
Harriet with her.
Emma remembered the last time that she had been in
the vicar’s house. Harriet sat silently. Her face was pale. She
remembered too.
The visit was short, but Emma’s first opinion of Mrs Elton
was not good. Mrs Elton was wearing an elegant dress, but
she herself was not elegant. She was vulgar60. She was not
very polite and she talked too much.
Mr Elton was not happy to see Emma again and he said
very little. His manners were not those of a real gentleman.
The Eltons soon came to call at Hartfield. Harriet was not
visiting the house, so Mr Woodhouse talked to Mr Elton.
Emma was able to watch Mrs Elton carefully.
Emma soon made up her mind about Mrs Elton. She was
a vain61 and silly woman who only thought of money and
polite society.
‘Hartfield is very like my brother-in-law’s house, Maple
Grove,’ Mrs Elton said, walking about. ‘This room is like
the smallest sitting-room at Maple Grove. And the staircase
here is exactly the same. I have spent so many happy months
at Maple Grove! I did not expect to find a house like Maple
Grove in Highbury. I think that the garden here is much
the same too, but smaller, of course. I feel very comfortable
here at Hartfield, Miss Woodhouse, very comfortable.’
‘I am pleased to hear that,’ Emma said.
Mrs Elton walked to the window and looked through it.
‘Yes, I was right,’ she said with a smile. ‘The garden here is
like the garden at Maple Grove.
