Friday Favorites: Emma - Emma and Mr. Knightley Spar on Frank Churchill

Frank Churchill is not coming to Highbury. After all of Mr. Weston's excitement about his son's visit, Frank ended up postponing his plans. While Emma is too distracted to be too disappointed, when Mr. Knightley expresses critical opinion, she still feels compelled to defend Mr. Churchill. The resulting debate between the two is illustrative of both of their characters, and it's a perfect vignette of Austen's comfortable, familiar banter. This week's Friday Favorites will help you relax as you end your day and fall into a night of warm and gentle sleep.
