Sketches
Miss Taylor, her soft features softened further, her still-pretty face made more youthful than in reality.
Isabella, surrounded by her four children (all of whom are interchangeable, so similar do they look), with the figure of her maiden days, and the bloom of her first youth.
Mr. Woodhouse, as he might have been ten years ago, the lines of his face fewer and less pronounced, his hairline generously modified.
John, already tall and made taller, shoulders slightly broader, nose a little straighter, lips slightly fuller – a handsomer version of himself.
Harriet Smith, her figure rendered elegant by added height, her eyebrows and eyelashes given a definition which they lack in real life.
With these examples of Emma's portraits before him, with all their subjects' imperfections corrected according to her vision, Mr. Knightley cannot but feel gratified when his wife presents him with a portrait of himself, exactly as he is.
