Emma, Volume 3, Chapter 9

Emma is back from the Bates's and just in time to catch Mr. Knightley before he leaves from London. How fortunate that she was able to let him know in time that she made her amends! But before she can think too much about their last interaction, they receive startling news - the long-suffering Mrs. Churchill is no more. Though it's sad news for the Churchills, the bright spot for Emma is that now there's a chance for Harriet to make her way into Frank's affections. More pressing for Emma on her quest to be a better person, however, is offering kindness to poor Jane Fairfax. Yet, for some reason, Jane is firmly rebuking Emma's overtures. All of this action leaves Emma with a lot to consider, and there's no better way to process than with a good night's sleep. So let this week's story help you as you make your own way into rest, relaxation, and peaceful slumber.
