Friday Favorites: Emma - Mr. Elton's Proposal: The Aftermath

Mr. Elton's unexpected proposal has Emma reeling, and she needs to take time to reflect. Emma knows that his supposed feelings are more for Miss Woodhouse's status, rather than true love for her; and she realizes that it was an error for her to take such an active role in pushing Harriet towards him. Luckily, the weather prevents her from going to church and seeing Mr. Elton at Christmas, and he soon leaves Highbury for Bath. All that is left now is for Emma to share the news with Harriet, and comfort her as best she can. This week's Friday Favorites is one of quiet reflection, so let it help you quiet your mind and fall into a night of soft and restorative sleep.
