Hmmm. I'm beginning to give up... Written by Reeba (1/27/2011 5:23 p.m.) in consequence of the missive, Me Either, penned by BarbaraB

this point at least about the displeasure about Robert's not buying the book, though I still have a slight inclination towards thinking...how easily was she lead to change her mind about a person who went three miles to fetch walnuts. I'm wondering whether I should call her 'shallow' rather than 'docile'or innocent.

Emma said it well,
You understand the force of influence pretty well, Harriet

I'm not excusing Emma's behaviour but I'm not letting Harriet off the hook either. :)
