Mrs. Weston interprets Frank Churchill   Written by Christopher (4/14/2008 10:06 p.m.)
Are you new?

I found this amusing and interesting. Frank Churchill makes his first, brief, appearance in Chapter 22. Then he appears again at Hartfield at the start of Chapter 23. It seems that Mrs. Weston interprets his request to walk to Highbury as a request to walk to Hartfield.

The next morning brought Mr. Frank Churchill again. He came with Mrs. Weston, to whom and to Highbury he seemed to take very cordially. He had been sitting with her, it appeared, most companionably at home, till her usual hour of exercise; and on being desired to chuse their walk, immediately fixed on Highbury. "He did not doubt there being very pleasant walks in every direction, but if left to him, he should always chuse the same. Highbury, that airy, cheerful, happy-looking Highbury, would be his constant attraction." Highbury, with Mrs. Weston, stood for Hartfield; and she trusted to its bearing the same construction with him. They walked thither directly.
