Friday Favorites: Emma - The Highbury Ball
With Frank Churchill back in town, there is at last nothing to prevent the long-awaited Highbury ball from taking place. Though Frank is noticeably cooler towards Emma than before, it doesn't bother her too much, because her night is full of laughter, dancing, and lots of chatter from Miss Bates. And when Mr. Knightley gallantly steps up to save Harriet from a terribly rude snub from Mr. Elton, Emma is delighted. The two end the night dancing together -- what more could Emma ask for? This week's Friday Favorites brings a beloved Highbury highlight, and as it does, let the warm and familiar story help you find your way into a night of peaceful sleep.
