It's interesting to note.. Written by Reeba (2/12/2011 10:02 a.m.) in consequence of the missive, Their peace is cut up for some time (long), penned by Robbin

that the dissatisfaction expressed regarding neglect of duty is by a 37 year old Knightley for a 21 year old Emma and a 23 year old Frank.

This problem seems to be perennial lasting over centuries making it contemporary :)

>however I can’t help but like a man so devoted to his children.

That's exactly what Emma thought too in CH:12
"..there was something honourable and valuable in the strong domestic habits, [...] It had a high claim to forbearance."

I'm not sure if Emma would have been forgiven for this selfish act though ;-)

The peace of quite a few characters is certainly disturbed. Thanks Robbins. Very nicely written. :)
