Friday Favorites: Emma - Emma and Frank Call on the Bateses
Streams straight from the publisher. PodNod never proxies or re-hosts episode audio.
After their outing in Highbury, Emma and Harriet join Frank and Mrs. Weston at the Bateses' to hear Jane Fairfax's new pianoforte. Frank openly speculates on the nature of the gift, which they presume is from the Dixons, and his manner seems too open for Emma, until she notices Jane's attempts at hiding a smile. Could Jane have hidden feelings? Emma isn't sure, but the reappearance of Miss Bates and a chance encounter with Mr. Knightley distract them all. As our protagonists continue their afternoon in Highbury, let their story in this week's Friday Favorites help you settle in for a night of soft and restorative sleep.
