In a chapter where Emma herself does not appear we compare the Westons to the Bingleys, the Woodhouses to the Elliots, Harriet to a dog (again) and weave our own queer fantasies that Mr Knightley is jealous because he's worried Harriet will steal Emma away.

Rachel and I talk a lot about Pride and Prejudice for a podcast that is not about that novel. We also discuss Austen's brief engagement, love languages, farm animals, disparage landlords, oh and Emma’s ways of persuading Harriet and /or talking about her like she's a dog.
