Hi again,
"It is impossible that Emma should not miss such a companion," said Mr. Knightley. "We should not like her so well as we do, sir, if we could suppose it. But she knows how much the marriage is to Miss Taylor's advantage; she knows how very acceptable it must be at Miss Taylor's time of life to be settled in a home of her own, and how important to her to be secure of a comfortable provision, and therefore cannot allow herself to feel so much pain as pleasure. Every friend of Miss Taylor must be glad to have her so happily married."
"We should not like her so well as we do, sir, if we could suppose it : If we had anticipated her marriage, it would have been better not to like Miss Taylor as we like her.
Is it correct?
Please help me to interpret other lines as well!
I really appreciate it
