Emma, Volume 3, Chapter 10

This week, Emma is on high alert, as Mr. Weston arrives at Hartfield in a state of agitation. What could be the matter? He whisks her away and won't reveal a thing until they get to Randalls, and Mrs. Weston can break the news to Emma herself. The news is more shocking than she ever could have imagined: Frank Churchill is engaged to Jane Fairfax! What's more, they've been secretly engaged this entire time. The deception is unbelievable. Luckily, Emma has moved on from any attachment to Frank, but she knows the same cannot be said for poor Harriet. She is incensed, but there is nothing she can do other than lie down, smarting in her own feelings. As Emma takes in the news, let the drama of Highbury take your mind away from your day and help you as you drift away into another night of deep and restorative sleep.
