Quotes 

• Emma : We have heard that you are very musical, Mrs. Elton.

  Mrs. Elton : Oh, I dote on it, dote! As I said to Mr. E, "Don't give me two carriages, don't give me enormous houses, but I could not live without music." No. Life would be a blank to me.

• Mrs. Elton : He's always praising my dresses. See how he leads the way to talk to me. What do you think of this one? Mmm? Rather handsome, I think. Not sure if it's over-trimmed? I have the greatest dislike of the idea of being over-trimmed, quite a horror of finery.

• Jane Fairfax : There are plenty of places which deal in the governess trade.

  Mrs. Elton : Oh, dear! You make it sound like slavery.

• Mr. Knightley : There is but one married woman in the world who I could ever allow to invite what guests she pleased to Donwell.

  Mrs. Elton : Mrs. Weston, I suppose.

  Mr. Knightley : No, Mrs. Knightley. And until she is in being, I will manage matters myself.
