Ever since the gossip came out, Emma had been in a bad mood. She had tried to rectify things but it didn’t seem to work. Granted, there was nothing between her and Mr Stone, and yet she felt bad for hurting Mr Knightley’s feelings. She feared the courtship between them was over and as a result, she didn’t talk to him. Not that she wanted to even think about it.
Thankfully, she had such things like the play to distract her. So, she couldn’t wallow around for too much. However, the play was now over and she had still kept to herself until she had received a message from her mother early Tuesday morning. So, she knew she needed to at least try to make things right as she headed to the blue parlor in hopes that Mr Knightley would be there and sure enough, he was.
Steeling herself, Emma finally spoke up. “Mr Knightley, do you have a moment,” she asked of him, hoping that he would listen to her. Even if she had been incredibly selfish and only thinking of herself. “I was hoping that maybe we could talk about what had allegedly happened in the gossip column.”
