Good will? Written by Mia I. (4/10/2008 6:32 p.m.) in consequence of the missive, I have a theory..., penned by Elbè

I like Emma too and I think it is because she is benevolent, however misguided at times. She is smart, and that leads her to believe she can make things better for people who are not as smart, but she does not have enough experience to know how interference can be harmful!
