More bad news - Frank Churchill is not coming to Highbury after all. Emma and Mr. Knightley spar over their interpretations of what Frank's seemingly perpetual delays mean about his character. It's all in good fun, at least for Emma, though she's surprised at the intensity of Mr. Knightley's contentions. Emma's not too upset about Frank Churchill not showing up, though, because that means there's more time to rest. Let her conversations help you rest too, as this week's story carries you off into another night of peaceful sleep.
