Emma, Volume 1, Chapter 12

Mr. Knightley joins the party for the evening at Hartfield, and he and Emma are finally ready to make up after their disagreement about Harriet and Mr. Martin. With that out of the way, the two are able to enjoy a lively evening discussing the ins and outs of Donwell Abbey (the Knightley brothers), and the benefits of gruel and evils of sea air (Mr. Woodhouse and his daughters). Their conversation is just inane enough to keep you amused as you drift into restful sleep with this week's story. ----- Welcome to the Jane Austen Bedtime Stories podcast!
