Emma Quote

[Talking about Mrs. Elton]

Emma: She'd never seen him before, and she called him Knightley!

Harriet: I saw her at church. She seemed...

Emma: Vulgar? Base? Conceited? Crass? She actually seemed pleased to discover that Mr. Knightley was a gentleman. I doubt he'll return the compliment and find *her* a lady. She proposed that we form a *musical club*. Is it possible that Mr. Elton met her while doing charitable work in a mental infirmary?
[sighs]

Emma: There is only one thing to do with a person as impossible as she.

Harriet: What?

Emma: I must throw a party for her. Otherwise everyone will feel at once how much I dislike her.
