Emma

Emma persuades Harriet that she is too good for her suitor, the farmer Robert Martin.

Emma is intrigued by the mysterious and elusive newcomer Frank Churchill.

Emma teases Mr Knightley about Jane, but he remains tight-lipped. Meanwhile, Frank and Emma plan a ball, and Emma wonders whether she might be in love with him. Despite having a wonderful time at a village ball, she decides not. With her matchmaking officially abandoned, Emma feels cooped up and bored, so Mr Knightley suggests a day trip to Box Hill for a change of scene and some temporary escape.

Mr Knightley has to reprimand Emma after she behaves badly on a trip to Box Hill.
