forgive me for sounding so stupid but english is my second language...can anybody help me understand what emma meant when she said "Ah! ma'am, but there may be a difficulty. Pardon me, but you will be limited as to number -- only three at once."...

i thought she meant miss bates would have difficulty w/ d game bcoz she talks too much and she's only allowed 3 words? am i wrong? please help...thanks ^_^

@elizab3th23 You've got it right :) That's exactly what it means

[hilaryrules91]

I want her dresssss!

Aww no matter how sad this makes me Emma did very much deserve what Mr. Knightley said :S.

[LydiaxLithium]

I really wish they would have used more of what Austen originally wrote. This is one of my favorite parts of the entire novel. “You, whom she had known from an infant, whom she had seen grow up from a period when her notice was an honour, to have you now, in thoughtless spirits, and the pride of the moment, laugh at her, humble her—and before her niece, too—and before others, many of whom (certainly some,) would be entirely guided by your treatment of her.” Sounds so much better than "Bad Emma!"

[joystixxify]

his first 'badly done!' always makes me smile. sounds like hes scolding a dog lol

[serenity0324]

Just had to see this clip today. Similar to what happened to me and my best guy friend awhile ago...ugh so embarrassing to be scolded.

@elizab3th23

No, you actually got it wrong. The game was about saying either 1 very clever thing, 2 ordinary things or 3 dull/boring/stupid things.

Then Miss Bates told something like it won't be hard for her to say 3 silly things,

Emma then told her that she might be having a hard time to tell only 3 stupid things (referring to the fact that she does speak only dull things all the time - it was a direct and a very insulting thing to say.)

[sarah4hp]

@elizab3th23 She means that it will be hard for Miss Bates because she will only be allowed to tell three boring things according to the rules of the game. A really cruel thing to say, which is why Mr. Knightley scolds her rather harshly for her actions.

i must say, this is the very moment i fell in love with mr.knightley. such a great guy!

[MusicalMaiden92]

I cry at this scene every time I see it and read it. I can relate to Emma. A mistake and everyone is scolding you. Though it was a bad thing done on her part, I understand Emma which is why I cry at this scene...

@bhanshee75 Absolutely I cannot imagine anyone making a better version! You know I could be wrong--I have seen I think two versions my 2 dvd set may have some minor cuts. But I cannot imagine a better Darcy I have one reservation. Bingley and Jane are not gently satirized--I think JA really admired their modesty. Mr. Darcy seems to realize that though it takes him some time

[vivascargill]

@bhanshee75 It sure seems like a sad life but I think or I just guess she did not find it so--she always was cheerful as far as I can discern and wrote a funny poem right before her death. The second ending of Persuasion --incredibly beautiful--was written virtually on her death bed. Also she was a religious women (the prayers she wrote are online) and a lot of her language comes from the Book of Common Prayer. Above all she was a woman of deep courage. I find her final days heartbreaking.

@bhanshee75 Yup I was taken aback by it--it is a wretched film and what is puzzling is they seem to have noticed the sexual tension which I can assure you is routinely ignored (my daughter's teacher missed it completely). In fact it has been ignored since Sir Walter Scott reviewed the book--and it seems to me crucial to the book. How they could catch that AND MAKE SUCH A MISERABLE FILM--well it confounds me!!
