At the party, Mr. Eltoncontinues to hover around Emma. He irritates her by expressing greater concern regarding Harriet’s sickness for Emma's sake rather than her friend’s. She finds his behavior offensive and presumptuous.

Emma finds Mr. Elton’s attentions to her presumptuous and upsetting: he is not her equal, and his behavior disturbs her matchmaking fantasy for Harriet.

Themes

Mr. John Knightleyannounces that the heavy snow will soon make it impossible to travel. Mr. Woodhouse and Isabellaare horrified at the prospect of traversing through the storm. The party quickly breaks up, with Mr. Woodhouse, Isabella, and Mr. John Knightley in one carriage, and Emma followed into another by Mr. Elton.

To Emma’s horror, once they are alone in the carriage, Mr. Eltonimmediately proceeds to declare his love for her with extravagant language, and proposes. Emma assumes he must be drunk, and she reminds him of his love for Harriet. Mr. Elton responds with great surprise, and Emma loses her temper at his inconstancy and presumption.

Mr. Elton insists that he has been interested in Emma all along, and that Harriet has never even crossed his mind. He insinuates that Emma cannot seriously have doubted him, and that she has long known of and encouraged his intentions.
