    Summary

    In a respectable town such as Highbury, one generally did not speak so overtly of designations. It was a truth acknowledged—for how else could advantageous matches be made—but not often spoken plainly in polite conversation. It was a delicate balance, to be sure, and perhaps in a bustling city like London or other such indiscrete locales, designations were easily bandied about. But Highbury was a conventional place with people who both were and were not open about such matters. Perhaps such may be said amongst those of close acquaintance. But in certain mouths, it made for idle gossip.

    Summary

    Mr. Knightley frowned, considering her words. His arms were still folded against his chest, his fingers drumming. He had a question on his mind; Emma could see that. But he seemed also unsure of whether to ask it.
    “Well?”
    “And what about your heart, Emma? What of falling in love?”

    When the snowstorm at Christmas makes the road between Randalls and Hartfield impassable, the Woodhouses and Knightleys are forced to stay put. Emotions run high and confessions are made.

    [Canon divergent, beginning with the infamous Christmas party at Randalls]

    Summary

    “If he were to pass suddenly – I would not want there to be difficulties between you and John,” Emma said to her betrothed as they sat in Donwell’s gardens, enjoying the crisp turn of the afternoon as September slipped into October. The wedding was mere weeks away. Her patience felt thinner as the leaves turned golden-orange with the changing season. She wished to be married, to have their lived joined officially as they had been already for years.

     

    “There would not be. But it is a prudent approach. I agree wholeheartedly – we must settle it beforehand,” Mr. Knightley agreed.

    Summary

    For as long as he could remember, George Knightley had known one thing to be utterly, completely true: he had a duty to be a gentleman... but throughout their long years of acquaintance, Emma Woodhouse made that duty rather difficult.

    Or, five times Emma thoroughly vexed George Knightley, and one time he vexed her right back.
