That's OK. We're still in the beginning of June. You don't have to rush.

I wonder if as an old woman she's still going to be meddlesome.

She'll only get worse!

She'll meddle with her grandchildren.

I had to re-read the beginning of chapter 2 three times. I got tangled up in all of the Churchill/Weston/ plus property names.

One thing I haven't seen in any movies, is that Mr. Woodhouse was terrified of
wedding cake.

Mr. Woodhouse is so ridiculous He should've married Elizabeth Bennett's mom and then they could've been nervous together.

I do have to stop every so often and think Churchill = Christian, Weston = Dionne/Murray

I didn't realize Mr. Woodhouse was such a hypochondriac.

Yea, why did he want people to keep eating wedding cake.

Him: Oh! Oh! Emma! What should we do??

I'm glad my Kindle has a built in dictionary. When the teacher was "dressing their chilblains" I wasn't sure what she was doing.


Anyone know what a Shepherd's son is - that Mr. Martin played in the parlour?

I like this dialog.

Mr Woodhouse is so different than his Clueless version.

What does it mean?

I laugh when they say "out of doors" instead of "outdoors"

Chilblains:
Skin sores or bumps that occur after exposure to very cold temperatures.

Painful inflammation of small blood vessels in your skin that occur in response to repeated exposure to cold but not freezing air. Also known as pernio, chilblains can cause itching, red patches, swelling and blistering on your hands and feet.

I think the literal shepherd's son sang for them.

The land must have sheep.

That would make sense. The wording made me think he had some kind of instrument to play while he sang himself.

Mr. Woodhouse doesn't like to serve dinner.
"His care for their health made him grieve that they would eat."

that sounds like the worst.

Mr Woodhouse reminds me of my uncle because he doesn't want to stay out too long and wants to be the first to leave a party
