Comments on: Austen Only Emma Season: Mr Knightley’s Strawberries http://austenonly.com/2010/01/27/austen-only-emma-season-mr-knightleys-strawberries/ Jane Austen's life, times and works explained and discussed Thu, 17 May 2012 21:29:45 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.com/ By: Katherine Louise http://austenonly.com/2010/01/27/austen-only-emma-season-mr-knightleys-strawberries/#comment-633 Fri, 29 Jan 2010 15:07:35 +0000 http://austenonly.com/?p=1423#comment-633 Thank you for this lovely post. I read the scene this morning before work and I did laugh out loud when I got to the end — “tired to death — could bear it no longer — must go and sit in the shade.” I read Emma for the first time years ago and didn’t like her or the story very much. Now, I think it is my favorite Austen, and my heroine and hero (I love Mr Knightly and would never think of calling him Knightly!) I fear I am a lot like Emma (which is probably why I didn’t like her), and I like watching her learn and improve. Austen astonishes me sometimes — she is such an excellent, smart writer — so modern sometimes.

My Dad’s books are like that, and my own are approaching it. What can I say? We love books! There are worse obsessions… (still chuckling!)

I never fail to laugh out loud, even on my 97th reading!

So if you visited, you could not miss the books , in fact in some places – my study for example- the family think they constitute a health hazard ;-) And they are, in fact, correct ….

The bit about Thomas Mawe posing as the author — for snob appeal — was a hoot! Your attention to detail never cease to amaze me , and, once again, I’d like to see your library!

Thank you,
CEA
