Mr. Elton is back in town, and everyone's talking about his new bride. The soon-to-be Mrs. Elton is from a good, if unremarkable family, and most importantly of all, has ten thousand pounds. Emma is most concerned about the effect of this news on poor Harriet - along with her renewed acquaintance with the Martins, this has been a lot for her to handle. Everyone could use a rest, and that is exactly what you will get as this week's story helps ease you into a night of restful sleep.
