Quotes
-
Frank Churchill : I'm very glad to know you, sir.
George Knightley : And I you. I remember you well as a boy.
[Emma and Weston drift a short way off]
Frank Churchill : I must confess, Mr. Knightley, I am so entranced by everything I find at Highbury that I feel sorry I ever had to leave.
George Knightley : Perhaps you will visit more frequently, now you find it agrees with you.
Frank Churchill : As frequently as I can, sir, though it is not always in my power. My aunt puts many difficulties in the way.
George Knightley : [Dryly] So I understand.
Frank Churchill : Well, what do you think of the situation, Mr. Knightley? I read in the papers that the government is expected to fall within the week. Do you expect it to?
George Knightley : I am not interested in politics, Mr. Churchill. They seem to be conducted by men generally too dishonest to lead a life of crime.
Frank Churchill : [Amused] I agree with you heartily. A gentleman has better pursuits. I passed Donwell Abbey on the way here and saw a very fine herd of cattle in your meadow. Do you use the new methods of breeding?
George Knightley : I have always found the old methods to work very well. Excuse me, sir. I must speak to Mrs. Weston.
