"I have faults enough, but they are not, I hope, of understanding. My temper I dare not vouch for. It is, I believe, too little yielding— certainly too little for the convenience of the world. I cannot forget the follies and vices of other so soon as I ought, nor their offenses against myself. My feelings are not puffed about with every attempt to move them. My temper would perhaps be called resentful. My good opinion once lost is lost forever.

"[Emma] «To be sure—our discordancies must always arise from my being in the wrong.»
[Mr Knightley] «Yes,» said he, smiling, «and reason good. I was sixteen years old when you were born.»
[Emma] «A material difference then,» she replied, «and no doubt you were much my superior in judgment at that period of our lives; but does not the lapse of one-and-twenty years bring our understandings a good deal nearer?»
[Mr Knightley] «Yes—a good deal nearer.»
