Diving into Volume the Third! Frank returns and we FINALLY get our ball at the Crown Inn. Knightley saves the day, and then he and Emma share a dance. Topics discussed include AFC Richmond as Austen characters, family dinner parties, puppies, and tallow candles.

Study questions: Topics discussed include whether Emma is over Frank, why Frank is being weird, Emma's reaction to Frank's weirdness, the ball, Elton's cruelty, why Knightley admits he's wrong, and why the Knightley/Emma exchange is so sexy.

Funniest quote: "Emma perceived that her taste was not the only taste on which Mr. Weston depended, and felt, that to be the favourite and intimate of a man who had so many intimates and confidantes, was not the very first distinction in the scale of vanity."

Questions moving forward: How will this fadge with Emma and Knightley? Why is Frank being weird? What's going to happen between him and all the ladies? What about Robert Martin!??

Who wins the chapters? Mr. Knightley, obviously!
