Harriet"

This is Emma's response to Harriet's,

"...while I visit at Hartfield, and you are so kind to me, Miss Woodhouse, I am not afraid of what any body can do."

I fear Harriet has her own little project.

Description of Harriet's character is interesting.
In CH3/4 and here and there in following chapters what one reads about her are mainly as Emma sees her,.

In between there are these conversational indications. Even the ON comes in to make a statement like the timw Robert didn't buy the book he was supposed to;

"I wonder he did not remember the book" -- was all Harriet's answer, and spoken with a degree of grave displeasure which Emma thought might be safely left to itself.

This statement of course pleased Emma, but to a reader this is hardly the sweet, innocent etc character which Emma has painted of her, and definitely not a dog on a leash to be led against her will.
