I think the “Frank Churchill” type character in this story is a woman. Very interesting! 👏🏻

I mean: “…after a good deal of desultory talk and description of the minnows and water-spiders, in whom Mr Clare seemed to take a deep interest, they went on with their book till the horses came…” (445).
A clergyman who takes interest in such tiny things seems to be on the right track!

I love this portrayal of a clergyman, Mr Clare. I would love a novel of his own story.

Two of the most heart wrenching chapters! Almost up there with THOR.

There are so many elements in this that have an echo of Emma! Nothing is one to one but it’s still fun to pick up on. I just read an echo of the Mr Elton/Emma misunderstanding.

This character has never heard of croquet and thinks it’s some new type of flirtation. 😂

“Many things can often be felt and expressed by an able woman better than by a man, and there is no reason that the utterance of anything worthy to be said should be denied, provided it is worthy to be said” (175).
Said by a male character though written of course by Yonge. Great word for keeping women firmly in the canon of literature!

The military chatting between Colin, Fanny, and Alick is so much like Captain Wentworth when he meets the Harvilles and Captain Benwick again!

“I feel as if it were not only Colin again, but ten times Colin” (132).
Quite a compliment!

Rachel is painfully like Emma Woodhouse, so sure she is right about everything. 😬

Lots of excellent intro material! I’m getting some strong Emma and Dorothea vibes already!
