Let's pretend I was drunk when we recorded to explain my many mistakes... we discuss gross age differences and segue into talking about Typhoid Mary.

As a nod to Christmas we discuss Rachel's Christmas socks (as the Christmas chapter is a couple of chapters away), we discuss visiting the sea for health and forget that we do know one of the middle Knightley children is named George.

Rachel and I talk about communication (ha), compare Mr Collins to Mr Elton (again), I attempt to compare Harriet's book to a mix tape, Rachel tells a story about flat earthers and we talk about the different meaning of charade(s).

Corrections:
Jillian Heydt-Stevenson and Alice Chandler both think Kitty A Fair But Frozen Maid is about venereal disease

The dance from 1995 Pride and Prejudice is Mr. Beveridge's Maggot

The John Knightley's have 5 kids – 3 are mentioned by name

Emma and Knightley fight about Harriet (who thankfully doesn't turn up till after they've finished). Rachel and I compare Mr Elton to Mr Collins (again) and decide Miss Bates would make an excellent matchmaker.

Emma begins her meddling, we are unimpressed. 

Things that suck:
