Welcome to Jane Austen Stories. I'm Julie Andrews and from the Noiser Podcast Network. This is Emma. Part six In the last episode, Mr Knightley kept his distance from Hartfield after his falling out with Emma over her handling of mister Martin's proposal. Meanwhile, Emma helped distract Harriet from any lingering uncertainty about Mr Martin with a delightful literary project. And the contribution of a riddle from mister Elton provided more confirmation in Emma's mind that his proposal to Harriet must soon be forthcoming. Even so, Emma continued to maneuver her young friend into his company and affections on a charitable visit to one of the village's lowliest families. Now, as we rejoin the goings on at Hartfield, a long awaited winter visit from Emma's sister and her family brings much comfort to Mr Woodhouse, though he does so worry about their health all the way over in London.
But with Mr Knightley now unable to avoid Hartfield, he What will become of his quarrel with Emma? What of the promised visit from Mr Frank Churchill? And though Emma is certain her manipulations with mister Elton will soon pay off, could there be any truth in a shrewd observation from a fresh arrival to Hartfield? Now, if you're sitting comfortably, then I'll begin. From the Noiser Podcast Network, this is Emma. Part six
How does Emma’s sister Isabella’s visit change life at Hartfield?
Chapter eleven Mr Elton must now be left to himself. It was no longer in Emma's power to superintend his happiness or quicken his measures. The coming of her sister's family was so very near at hand that first in anticipation and then in reality it became henceforth her prime object of interest. And during the ten days of their stay at Hartfield, it was not to be expected, or she did not herself expect, that anything beyond occasional fortuitous assistance could be afforded by her to the lovers. They might advance rapidly if they would, however, they must advance somehow or other, whether they would or no. She hardly wished to have more leisure for them than There are people who the more you do for them, the less they will do for themselves.
Mr and Mrs John Knightley, from having been longer than usual absent from Surrey, were exciting, of course, rather more than the usual interest. Till this year every long vacation since their marriage had been divided between Hartfield and Donwell Abbey, but all the holidays of this autumn had been given to sea bathing for the children, and it was therefore many months since they had been seen in a regular way in By their surrey connections or seen at all by Mr Woodhouse, who could not be induced to get so far as London, even for poor Isabella's sake. And who consequently was now most nervously and apprehensively happy in anticipating this too short visit. He thought much of the evils of the journey for her, and not a little of the fatigues of his own horses and coachmen who were to bring some of the party the last half of the way.
But his alarms were needless, the sixteen miles being happily accomplished, and Mr. and Mrs. John Knightley, their five children, and a competent number of nursery maids, all reaching Hartfield in safety. The bustle and joy of such an arrival The many to be talked to, welcomed, encouraged, and variously dispersed and disposed of produced a noise and confusion which his nerves could not have borne under any other cause, nor have endured much longer even for this. But the ways of Hartfield and the feelings of her father were so respected by Mrs. John Knightley. That in spite of maternal solicitude for the immediate enjoyment of her little ones, and for their having instantly all the liberty and attendance, all the eating and drinking, and sleeping and playing which they could possibly wish for, without the smallest delay,
The children were never allowed to be long a disturbance to their grandfather, either in themselves or in any restless attendance on them. Mrs John Knightley was a pretty, elegant little woman of gentle, quiet manners. and a disposition remarkably amiable and affectionate. Wrapped up in her family.
