Frank and Emma want to throw a ball at the Crown Inn, but it doesn't happen. Instead, they say goodbye. Topics discussed include parent bait, soggy sandwiches, and Perry the Apothecary.

Study questions: Topics discussed include what a ball would mean for Highbury, whether we believe Frank/the Churchills about his reason for leaving, Frank and Emma's relationship, and summer camp romance.

Funniest quote: The party did not break up without Emma’s being positively secured for the two first dances by the hero of the evening, nor without her overhearing Mr. Weston whisper to his wife, “He has asked her, my dear. That’s right. I knew he would!”

Questions moving forward: Does Emma love Frank? Does Frank love Emma? Will Frank come back? Will they have the ball? Does Knightley love Jane? Who does Jane love? Is Harriet okay?

Who wins the chapters? Mr. Woodhouse
