Emma 爱玛 - Chapter 54

Time passed on. A few more to-morrows, and the party from London would be arriving. It was an alarming change; and Emma was thinking of it one morning, as what must bring a great deal to agitate ¹ and grieve her, when Mr. Knightley came in, and distressing ² thoughts were put by. After the first chat of pleasure he was silent; and then, in a graver tone, began with, "I have something to tell you, Emma; some news.", ,"Good or bad?" said she, quickly, looking up in his face., ,"I do not know which it ought to be called.", , ,"I am afraid," said he, composing his features, "I am very much afraid, my dear Emma, that you will not smile when you hear it.", ,"Indeed! but why so?--I can hardly imagine that any thing which pleases or amuses you, should not please and amuse me too.", ,All you need to do is gently agitate the water with a finger or paintbrush.你只需要用手指或刷子轻轻地搅动水 。,All who saw the distressing scene revolted against it. 所有看到这种悲惨景象的人都对此感到难过
