EMMA ADAPTATIONS
We figure that Mr. Knightley's land assets make him worth more than Mr. Woodhouse, even though Mr. Woodhouse has much more liquid wealth (aka money). We know that Mr. Knightley has little spare money and keeps no horses (for his carriage), but that he is the main landowner in the parish. Mr. Woodhouse, on the other hand, has plenty of money but almost no land, as Hartfield is without "extensive grounds," being in fact carved out of Donwell's extensive holdings.
If Mr. Woodhouse does not draw up a will stating otherwise, then Isabella and Emma will inherit equal shares in the estate. This is because there are no male heirs in the close familial vicinity.WHAT DOES "N TAKE M" MEAN?
It has to do with the way the Anglican marriage ceremony is described in the Book of Common Prayer. Henry talks about it here.WHAT DOES THE "C" IN F.C. WESTON CHURCHILL STAND FOR?
Probably "Churchill," which is Frank's mother's maiden name. As you know, it becomes his, as well, when his uncle and aunt adopt him.
WHAT ARE "MIZZLE", "ROUT CAKES" AND GRUEL"?
Mizzle is a drizzly rain. and rout-cakes are party cookies made with wine, rosewater, orange juice, and currants. For all you ever wanted to know about gruel, but were afraid to ask, visit Deborah Jane's excellent Woodhouse Defense League, a comprehensive and tongue-in-cheek look at our favorite valetudinarian.

It is "Silent Worship," from Handel's Ptolemy.
Ewan - fresh from his role in Trainspotting - was still growing out a very short buzz cut during the filming of Emma2. Since he didn't have time to grow it to a normal, era-appropriate length, he wore a (bad) wig.
EMMA 4 (2009)Mark Strong was apparently in a similar predicament as Ewan MacGregor when filming Emma3. His hair was too short to look right, but long enough for extensions. Kate Beckinsale was also given hair extensions for her role in Emma3.
Lucy Robinson (Mrs. Elton) also played Mrs. Hurst in Pride and Prejudice2. As for her accent, Caroline tells us she was doing a Bristol, England accent which has very pronouncd "R's".
