in consequence of the missive, Having Much His Way, penned by Jane Marie
We are however told by the ON in Chapter 11 that John Knightley is sometimes drawn into making "a rational remonstance" to his father-in-law, so your points remain valid. We have already seen Emma and Mr Knightley try gentle rational arguments on Mr Woodhouse, with all the effect of water on a duck's back, so you would think John would have recognised by now how pointless it was trying to reason with his father-in-law. |
