Misha GlennyHOST
The plot revolves around Emma Woodhouse, described by Austen as a heroine whom no, whom no one but myself will much like.

Several of the other characters do very much like her, though, in particular, for a while, the conceited vicar Mr. Elton, the gentlemanly Mr. Knightley, and in his way, the charming Frank Churchill.

Julie AndrewsNARRATOR
In the last episode, Mr. Knightley kept his distance from Hartfield after his falling out with Emma over her handling of Mr. Martin's proposal.
Julie AndrewsNARRATOR
Meanwhile, Emma helped distract Harriet from any lingering uncertainty about Mr. Martin with a delightful literary project, and the contribution of a riddle from Mr. Elton provided more confirmation in Emma's mind that his proposal to Harriet must soon be forthcoming.
Julie AndrewsNARRATOR
Even so, Emma continued to maneuver her young friend into his company and affections on a charitable visit to one of the village's lowliest families.
Julie AndrewsNARRATOR
Now, as we rejoin the goings-on at Hartfield, a long-awaited winter visit from Emma's sister and her family brings much comfort to Mr. Woodhouse, though he does so worry about their health all the way over in London.
Julie AndrewsNARRATOR
But with Mr. Knightley now unable to avoid Hartfield, what will become of his quarrel with Emma? What of the promised visit from Mr.
Julie AndrewsNARRATOR
Frank Churchill? And though Emma is certain her manipulations with Mr.
Julie AndrewsNARRATOR
Elton will soon pay off, could there be any truth in a shrewd observation from a fresh arrival to Hartfield? Now, if you're sitting comfortably, then I'll begin.

From the Noiser Podcast Network, this is Emma, Part 6.
Christopher SebastianHOST
So I'll just be bold and state that clearly.
Christopher SebastianHOST
And she has a lot of examples where she does make mistakes and have to fix something, have to clear it out, specifically with the Boxall incident with Miss Bates, but also with her actions with Harriet in basically putting her at risk with Mr. Elton, hurting her feelings and in those regards with encouraging attachments there, accidentally doing it with Mr. Knightley as well towards the end.
Christopher SebastianHOST
And specifically with the Miss Bates situation, she completes it right away.
Christopher SebastianHOST
And this is, I think, one of the best things that Emma does.
Sabella DentonNARRATOR
Emma felt that she could not do too much for her, that Harriet had a right to all her ingenuity and all her patience, but it was heavy work to be forever convincing without producing any effect, forever agreed to without being able to make their opinions the same.
Sabella DentonNARRATOR
Harriet listened submissively and said it was very true, it was just as Miss Woodhouse described, it was not worthwhile to think about them, she would not think about them any longer, but no change of subject could avail, and the next half hour saw her as anxious and restless about the Eltons as before.
Sabella DentonNARRATOR
At last, Emma attacked her on another ground.
Sabella DentonNARRATOR
You're allowing yourself to be so occupied and so unhappy about Mr. Elton's marrying, Harriet, is the strongest reproach you can make me.

Sabella DentonNARRATOR
How I catch myself out.
Sabella DentonNARRATOR
Frank Churchill comes as regularly into my mind.
Sabella DentonNARRATOR
All this ran so glibly through her thoughts that by the time her father had arranged himself after the bustle of the Eltons' departure and was ready to speak, she was very tolerably capable of attending.
Sabella DentonNARRATOR
Well, my dear, he deliberately began, considering we never saw her before, she seems a very pretty sort of young lady, and I dare say that she was very much pleased with you.
Julie AndrewsNARRATOR
I'm Julie Andrews, and from the Noiser Podcast Network, this is Emma, Part Four.
Julie AndrewsNARRATOR
Last time, despite Mr. Knightley's disapproval of her relationship with Harriet, Emma was determined to elevate her new friend's standing in society with a match to Mr. Elton.
Julie AndrewsNARRATOR
Having carefully arranged for Harriet to sit and have her likeness painted in the company of the young vicar, Emma was convinced that a love match between the pair was all but certain.
Julie AndrewsNARRATOR
But a shock now threatens to upset the whole endeavor in the form of a proposal of marriage from Mr. Martin, whom Emma considers wholly beneath her impressionable young friend.
Julie AndrewsNARRATOR
As we rejoin the two young women reading Mr. Martin's letter, how will Harriet respond? With Mr.
Julie AndrewsNARRATOR
Elton already succumbing to Emma's matchmaking, how will our heroine advise the would-be bride? And what does Mr.
Julie AndrewsNARRATOR
Knightley, never afraid to let Emma know what he really thinks, make of her influence in this latest development? Now, if you're sitting comfortably, then I'll begin.
Julie AndrewsNARRATOR
From the Noiser Podcast Network, this is Emma, Part Four.
Julie AndrewsNARRATOR
Previously, Emma established a firm friendship with Miss Harriet Smith.
Julie AndrewsNARRATOR
Despite the uncertainty about Harriet's parentage, Emma had no doubt that she must be a gentleman's daughter, and is as determined to mold and improve her as she is to match her with the eligible local vicar, Mr. Elton.
Julie AndrewsNARRATOR
And though Harriet might already have caught the eye of Mr. Martin, Emma could not countenance such a match with a mere gentleman farmer, especially one who she believes can barely read.
Julie AndrewsNARRATOR
We now join Emma's friends, Mr. Knightley and Mrs. Weston, who perhaps know her better than anyone, but what do they make of her new friendship with Harriet? And how will Emma step up her campaign to bring her timid new acquaintance into Mr.
Julie AndrewsNARRATOR
Elton's orbit? Now, if you're sitting comfortably, then I'll begin.

From the Noiser Podcast Network, this is Emma, Part Three.

Chapter Five.
15 MINS LATER
Julie AndrewsNARRATOR
There were wishes at Randalls respecting Emma's destiny, but it was not desirable to have them suspected, and the quiet transition which Mr. Knightley soon afterwards made to, "What does Weston think of the weather? Shall we have rain?" Convinced her that he had nothing more to say or surmise about Hartfield.
KarishaHOST
Interesting.

Josh O'Connor plays Elton.

Sorry, Mr. Elton.

Oh, Callum Turner.

What? Me? God damn.

I feel like this is like shoehorned in at the end.
ChrisHOST
Like we're saying, this is, I think this is a straight up comedy.
ChrisHOST
It just happens to be centered around, you know, teenagers and young adults, which inherently comes with, you know, feelings and sexuality and things like that so obviously it's touched on but i don't think at any point is that like the main driver here like yes everyone is interested in it but it's not like i don't know we're not seeing like these dates and quiet moments and well they won't they we see a little bit of it but even a lot of it's played for comic comedic effect like share is going after a guy for a good chunk i was trying to remember which character is that Is that Elton?

I must look about for a wife for him.

There is nobody in Highbury who deserves him, and he has been here a whole year and has fitted up his house so comfortably that it would be a shame to have him single any longer.

And I thought when he was joining their hands today, he looked so very much as if he would like to have the same kind office done for him.
