| The possibility of the young man's coming to Mrs. Goddard's that morning, and meeting with Harriet and pleading his own cause, gave alarming ideas. | Ее тревожила мысль, как бы молодой фермер не зашел сегодня к миссис Г оддард и, повстречав там Гарриет, не вымолил у нее согласие. |
| The dread of such a failure after all became the prominent uneasiness; and when Harriet appeared, and in very good spirits, and without having any such reason to give for her long absence, she felt a satisfaction which settled her with her own mind, and convinced her, that let Mr. Knightley think or say what he would, she had done nothing which woman's friendship and woman's feelings would not justify. | Страх потерпеть, после всего, что было, такое поражение был главной причиной ее беспокойства, и, когда Гарриет вернулась, в прекрасном настроении и не имея, по всей видимости, подобных причин для своего долгого отсутствия, у Эммы отлегло от сердца и сомнения, точившие ее, сменились уверенностью, что она не совершила ничего такого, чему женская дружба и женские чувства не послужили бы оправданием, — что бы там ни думал и ни говорил мистер Найтли. |
| He had frightened her a little about Mr. Elton; but when she considered that Mr. Knightley could not have observed him as she had done, neither with the interest, nor (she must be allowed to tell herself, in spite of Mr. Knightley's pretensions) with the skill of such an observer on such a question as herself, that he had spoken it hastily and in anger, she was able to believe, that he had rather said what he wished resentfully to be true, than what he knew any thing about. |
