had now great pleasure in marking an improvement Written by Stephanie (2/20/2011 4:54 p.m.) in consequence of the missive, Enter, the Illustrious Mrs. Elton, penned by BarbaraB

Many of Emma's leading characteristics are reflected in small or large ways in those around her. She seldom recognizes them however, and I think they will pass her by on this occasion, too.

Emma was apparently a good hostess when Jane Fairfax was at Hartfield, since Mr. Knightley praises her for it in ch. 21.
