Friday Favorites: Emma - Jane Fairfax's Rainy Walk to the Post Office
Description
Mrs. Elton continues to be the talk of the town in Highbury, and Emma, not to be outdone, arranges a dinner party for her. The dinner also gives Emma a chance to make good on her renewed desire to be a friend to Jane Fairfax by including her in the party. When they all discover that Jane walked to the post office this morning in the rain, it quickly becomes a hot topic of conversation. Emma is convinced that Jane's determination to fetch her own letters is a sign that she's hearing from someone dear to her, though she is yet to figure out exactly who. This week's Friday Favorites starts another classic Highbury party, where characters and social dynamics are on full display, and as it does, let the familiar scenes help you find your way into another night of warm and restful sleep.
