Good evening and welcome to the sleepy big show where we pit down our worries from the day and pick up a good book.

I'm your host, Elizabeth. It's a pleasure to be here with you tonight.

This evening we're continuing with Emma. But first, let's take a moment to prepare ourselves to rest.

Raise your eyebrows as high as you can for five seconds.

Relax and immediately feel a release of tension.

Now, smile as wide as you can and hold that for another five seconds.

Now relax and squeeze your eyes shut. Hold it for five seconds.

And relax. Tilt your head comfortably back so you can look at the ceiling,

stretching your neck and your chin. Hold that for five seconds.

And relax as your neck sinks back into your pillow.

Now, hug your arms around yourself and if you can, pull your legs in as tight as comfortable and hold it there.

Now release and allow yourself a lovely big yarn as you relax into your comfortable position.

Last time, Emma reflected on the awful proposal of love from Mr. Alton on Christmas Eve and was happily met the next morning by a thick settling of snow enough to prevent the family from making it the church for Christmas stay.

When the weather finally thawed after a week, Isabella and her family departed and a letter arrived from Mr. Alton.

He apologized for departing hybrid himself without taking his personal leave of Mr. Woodhouse. He would be visiting friends in bar and wouldn't return for a few weeks.

Harriet had just recovered from her cold and Emma made use of this time to tell her everything that had transpired.

Mid-January came and Frank Churchill sent his excuses for not making his visit. Mr. Knightly deemed it a wee while Emma defended the boy with Mrs. Weston sentiment.

We pick up tonight with Emma and Harriet taking a walk one morning. So just lie back and relax as I turn to the next pageant of Emma.

Volume 2 Chapter 1

Emma and Harriet had been walking together one morning and in Emma's opinion had been talking enough of Mr. Alton for that day.
