Quotation from: Emma

Written by: Jane Austen


"We were too magnificent," said he. "We allowed unnecessary room.
Ten couple may stand here very well."


Emma demurred. "It would be a crowd--a sad crowd; and what could
be worse than dancing without space to turn in?"


"Very true," he gravely replied; "it was very bad." But still he
went on measuring, and still he ended with,


"I think there will be very tolerable room for ten couple."
