Mrs Elton was wanting notice, which nobody had inclination to pay

Emma doubted their getting on very well; for Mr Knightley seemed little disposed for conversation; Mrs Elton was wanting notice, which nobody had inclination to pay, and she was herself in a worry of spirits which would have made her prefer being silent

J. Austen, Emma (1816), 228
