Mr. Elton moving on so quickly felt quietly poignant, underscoring how little Emma was ever truly seen by him despite everything that occurred. Throughout this volume, I noticed Mr. Knightley smiling more, defending Emma more openly, and engaging with her in ways that felt warmer and steadier. It feels like he is beginning to see her growth in real time, even as Emma herself is still learning how to recognize it.
