It was the day of the ball and the weather was wet. Frank
Churchill had arrived at the Westons’ house, Randalls,
before dinner. He heard that everything was ready. All the
arrangements for the ball had been made.
There was no time for him to visit the Woodhouses at
Hartfield that day. Emma and Frank would meet at the ball
itself.
‘There will be a crowd of people there,’ Emma thought.
‘That will be better. I shall be able to hide my feelings about
Frank.’
Mr Woodhouse was not going to the ball. Emma had
invited his old friends, Mrs Bates and Mrs Goddard to
Hartfield. The three old people would enjoy a quiet dinner
and a game of cards together.
Emma and Harriet arrived at the Crown Inn before most
of the other guests. The Westons and Frank Churchill were
already there. The friends saw that everything was ready.
Although it was May, it was a cold evening and a warm
fire was burning in the fireplace in the ballroom. It was still
raining outside, but inside the inn, all the rooms were warm
and comfortable. In the card-room and supper-room there
were tables and chairs. There were many lighted candles
everywhere. The musicians were ready to play. Everything was perfect. Everything was ready for the Westons’ guests.
Frank smiled at Emma, but he did not stay near her for
long. He was very restless. He hurried to the door each time
that he heard the sound of a carriage outside.
The Eltons were the first couple to arrive. Mrs Elton’s
dress and her necklace of pearls were very elegant.
‘Where are Miss Bates and Miss Fairfax?’ Mr Weston said.
‘1 thought that they were coming with you, Mrs Elton!’
Mrs Elton had forgotten to call at the Bateses’ house and
bring Miss Fairfax and Miss Bates with her.
Immediately, Mr Weston sent his own carriage to bring
the ladies to the inn. Frank went to the door of the inn to
wait for them. He took an umbrella67 with him.
