Emma was not sorry to be pressed. She read, and was surprized. The style of the letter was much above her expectation. There were not merely no grammatical errors, but as a composition it would not have disgraced a gentleman; the language, though plain, was strong and unaffected, and the sentiments it conveyed very much to the credit of the writer. It was short, but expressed good sense, warm attachment, liberality, propriety, even delicacy of feeling. She paused over it, while Harriet stood anxiously watching for her opinion, with a "Well, well," and was at last forced to add, "Is it a good letter? or is it too short?"

chagrin
[[English]]
ipa :/ˈʃæɡ.ɹɪn/[Anagrams]
- arching
[Etymology]
From French chagrin ("sorrow"). Prior to that, the etymology is unclear, with several theories – of Germanic or possibly Turkish origin.From dialectical French chagraigner ("to be gloomy, distress"), from chat ("cat") + Old French graim ("sorrow, gloom; sorrowful, gloomy"), from Frankish gram, a loan translation of German Katzenjammer ("drunken hang-over"), from Katzen ("cats") + jammer ("distress, sorrow, lament"). Akin to German Gram[1], Old Norse gramr ("wroth") (whence Danish gram), Old English grama ("anger"), grim ("grim, gloomy") (Modern English grim).Another theory derives French chagrin from the verb chagriner, in its turn from Old French grigner, which is of Germanic origin and cognate to English grin.[2]. More at cat, grim, grimace, grin, yammer.The OED 2nd Edition states that the original meaning of chagrin was a “rough skin” (now preserved in the word shagreen) used to polish things, and that in French the word “became by metaphor the expression for gnawing trouble.”[3] However, other sources derive shagreen (and chagrin in the sense of “rough skin”) from Turkish sağrı,[4][5][6] and it is unclear if there was influence between an existing French word and a Turkish loan.
[Noun]
chagrin (uncountable)
1.Distress of mind caused by a failure of aims or plans, want of appreciation, mistakes etc; vexation or mortification.
2.1876, Louisa May Alcott, Rose In Bloom, ch. 8:
[H]e alone knew how deep was the deluded man's chagrin at the failure of the little plot which he fancied was prospering finely.
3.A type of leather or skin with a rough surface.[3]
