"Emma" at the beach...

Let's hope for a beautiful late summer day and let's spend Saturday at the beach discussing Emma. Our Meetup will, once again, be a picnic, so, please, mention in your reply what you will be bringing. Thank you! "Emma is the story of Miss Emma Woodhouse, a well-to-do young woman in a small English town. After her governess, Miss Taylor, marries and becomes Mrs. Weston, Emma is left with her hypochondriac, hyper-concerned father as her sole companion. She therefore takes the poor, unconnected, yet gentle Harriet under her wing. Emma's love of matchmaking leads her to meddle in Harriet's love life, and to set up some romantic misadventures of her own! A humorous, satirical work, where the plot is often secondary to the characters themselves. From the garrulous Miss Bates, to the querulous Mr Woodhouse, to the gallant Mr. Knightley and erratic Mr. Churchill, a fascinating and highly readable example of Jane Austen's prowess with the English language." We will meet at Rebecca's and walk to the beach together. We will be able to park at Rebecca's and on the street in front of her house. Address and directions will be sent in a separate email to each of you. (I will put very easy to follow directions together & send them out soon. Look back for updates - Rebecca)
