Emma, Volume 2, Chapter 14

Highbury has a new addition to its society - Mrs. Elton! She may be very elegant with her beautiful gowns, but that's really the only thing she has going for her. Between her high opinion of herself, her overfamiliarity, and her incessant talk of Maple Grove, Emma can hardly stand her. Harriet would have been a much better choice. But what annoys Emma will be helpful to you, dear listener, as Mrs. Elton's mindless chatter is absolutely perfect to distract your mind from the day, let it relax, and drift into a calm and restful night of sleep. ----- Welcome to the Jane Austen Bedtime Stories podcast!
