Emma Jane Austen Mrs Elton Quotes & Sayings

But Mr. Elton had only drunk wine enough to elevate his spirits, not at all to confuse his intellects. — Jane Austen

No! Thank you for thinking I am thoughtful. — Jane Austen

Mr. Elton was the very person fixed on by Emma for driving the young farmer out of Harriet's head. She thought it would be an excellent match; and only too palpably desirable, natural, and probable, for her to have much merit in planning it. She feared it was what every body else must think of and predict. It was not likely, however, that any body should have equalled her in the date of the plan, as it had entered her brain during the very first evening of Harriet's coming to Hartfield. — Jane Austen
