Friday Favorites: Emma - Mrs. Churchill is No More
When Emma returns from calling on the Bates household, she is greeted by an unwelcome surprise: Mr. Knightley is departing for London, to spend some time with John and Isabella. But Emma's disappointment is quickly overshadowed by the news that Frank's aunt, Mrs. Churchill, has died. The loss of her ominous presence means that Frank is free to do what he wants, which Emma believes will bode well for Harriet, although Harriet herself appears unmoved. Meanwhile, Emma's efforts to make amends with Jane Fairfax are steadily declined, leaving Emma truly regretting her past bad behavior. This week's Friday Favorites brings even more changes to the status quo, and as it does, let Emma's reflections fill your mind and bring you into another night of gentle sleep.
