Emma and Harriet visit the Bateses, and we get our first true introduction to Jane Fairfax. Topics discussed include chilled beans, cross-writing, what war was taking place when Emma was written, nuns, and why Emma might hate Jane.

Study questions: Topics discussed include the Bateses purpose and why they talk too much, the children with dead parents of Highbury, and Jane Fairfax's class and romantic situation.

Funniest quote: “Yes, so I imagined. I was afraid there could be little chance of my hearing any thing of Miss Fairfax to-day.”

Questions moving forward: Who is Jane Fairfax and who will she fall in love with? Does she know Mr. Elton? Does she know Frank Churchill? Where's Harriet?

Who wins the chapters? Mr. Knightley ;)
