Mr Knightley lifted his eyes to meet hers and she could see that his expression bore no ill will, but instead was teasing.
"I have missed our disagreements." he said.
"I am not surprised that _you_ have missed them", Emma sighed, her spirits, 'as they always arise from me showhow being in the wrong.'
'Naturally', he agreed, 'but then I am older than you. It makes sense that I am wiser and have the advantage of experience.'
'Perhaps that was so when I was young, but I am now twenty-one and catching up with you in knowledge.'
'Is that so?' Mr Knightley looked back to the baby. 'Liitle Emma, tell your aunt that she is still to learn to stop brining up old arguments when the tempers have passed.'

'No man could have been more so.'

Mr Knightley took her hand and kissed lightly. 'Very well.”

“Am I to believe that in your spirit of matchmaking, you have been settling that I should marry Miss Fairfax?'
'No!' Emma blurted out, before checking herself. 'Certainly not. You could not come and sit with us in this comfortable way if you were married.'
'Good, then.' he replied. 'She is too reserved. I like an open temper.'
'I quite agree'.”
