After many cancelled plans Frank Churchill, Mr. Weston's son though adopted by his wealthy and domineering though sickly aunt, arrives for a two-week visit and makes many friends though one of them is not Knightley who believes him to be of shallow character.
Frank seems flirt with Emma and the two engage in speculation with another arrival Jane Fairfax who is visiting her aunt, Miss Bates, and grandmother, Mrs. Elton gets married to a social climber and the new Mrs. Elton and Emma do not get along which makes the former take Jane under wing and attempt to find her a position.

Emma apologizes the next day after a scolding by Mr.
