Not by letter   Written by Thérèse (3/18/2013 10:00 a.m.) in consequence of the missive, Very good analysis...., penned by Alison Y
Are you new?

Our discussion helped me to undersand that the main reason why I think she didn't disclose all the truth (Mr Knightley's real object) is that she would have found it "coward" to do it by letter. Besides that, all along the chapters 49 (end) to 54 (beginning), Emma keeps that weight on the heart, and what other weight can it be that the one of disclosing her engagement?


Contra, I admit, the fact that Harriet was at the John Knightleys's when the letter announcing the engagement arrived, and of course, Isabella knew it : could they keep the secret without Harriet learning it? Probably, as Mr Woodhouse was not yet told of it, but it is not so sure.
