Emma is still distraught over the prospect of losing Mr. Knightley to Harriet, but luckily a visit from Mrs. Weston offers a welcome distraction. But even tales of Jane Fairfax and Frank Churchill can't keep Emma's attention for too long, and every moment takes her further into introspection, reflection, and remorse. All she can do is promise to be better, for herself, and for those she loves. As Emma continues her private contemplation, let it accompany you on your own journey into another night of soft and restful slumber.
