In reply to Emma as an old maid! posted by kathleen (elder) on June 30, 1997 at 02:34:09
] Suppose that Mr Knightley doesn't propose and Emma accept (I know, I know, then there would be no novel, but humor me!). I cannot imagine any other man being willing to move into to Hartfield w/ Mr Woodhouse. And, where would Emma meet any other man?
] So, suppose Emma does end up an old maid? How would she turn out? She wouldn't be poor, but would she be bored out of her mind?[not with greg around] As for having a niece with her, well Isabella might have other thoughts on that.
] Speculations, anyone?
