    EMMA - JANE AUSTEN VOLUME I- CHAPTER I AND II

    TEXT ANALYSIS - READING NOVEL IN ENGLISH

    Emma Woodhouse, handsome, clever, and rich, with a comfortable home and happy
    disposition, seemed to unite some of the best blessings of existence; and had lived nearly
    twenty-one years in the world with very little to distress or vex her.

    She was the youngest of the two daughters of a most affectionate, indulgent father; and had,
    in consequence of her sister's marriage, been mistress of his house from a very early period.
    Her mother had died too long ago for her to have more than an indistinct remembrance of
    her caresses; and her place had been supplied by an excellent woman as governess, who
    had fallen little short

    of a mother in affection.

    Sixteen years had Miss Taylor been in Mr. Woodhouse's family, less as a governess than a
    friend, very fond of both daughters, but particularly of Emma. Between _them_ it was more
    the intimacy

    of sisters.(...................................)

    Sorrow came--a gentle sorrow--but not at all in the shape of a disagreeable consciousness.--
    Miss Taylor married. It was Miss Taylor's loss which first brought grief. It was on the
    wedding-day

    of this beloved friend that Emma first sat in mournful thought of any continuance. The
    wedding over, and the bride-people gone,her father and herself were left to dine together,
    with no prospect

    of a third to cheer a long evening. Her father composed himself to sleep after dinner, as
    usual, and she had then only to sit and think of what she had lost.

    (..................................)

    Highbury, the large and populous village, almost amounting to a town,to which Hartfield, in
    spite of its separate lawn, and shrubberies, and name, did really belong, afforded her no
    equals. The Woodhouses were first in consequence there. All looked up to them. She had
    many acquaintances in the place, for her father was universally civil, but not one among
    them who could be accepted in lieu of Miss Taylor for even half a day. It was a melancholy
    change; and Emma could not but sigh over it, and wish for impossible things, till her father
    awoke, and made it necessary to be cheerful.

    CHAPTER II

    Mr. Weston was a native of Highbury, and born of a respectable family, which for the last two
    or three generations had been rising into gentility and property. He had received a good
    education, but, on succeeding early in life to a small independence, had become indisposed
    for any of the more homely pursuits in which his brothers were engaged, and had satisfied
    an active, cheerful mind and social temper by entering into the militia of his county, then
    embodied.

    Captain Weston was a general favourite; and when the chances of his military life had
    introduced him to Miss Churchill,of a great Yorkshire family, and Miss Churchill fell in love
    with him, nobody was surprised, except her brother and his wife, who had never seen him,
    and who were full of pride and importance,which the connexion would offend.
