《艾玛》摘录

Emma,we live in the real world,where children do pay for the offence of their parents.

And without love,why would I want to change my situation? I have fortunate. I’m occupied. I do not think there is a wife alive who has a better position than mine at Hartfield.

for I shall be a rich old maid.

The sensation of listlessness,weariness,stupidity,this inability to sit down and do anything.

This feeling that everything around the house is dull and insipid…when it never was before …

It can only mean one thing. I must be in love!
