The number of copies of this edition are not known. _Emma in the Night_ starts with many unanswered questions that slowly resolve, ramping up to the biggest and final mystery: What really happened to Emma? [32] Irvine wrote that: "In Emma, we find something much closer to a genuinely communal voice, a point of view at work in the narrative that cannot be reduced to the subjectivity of any one character. Wiltshire wrote about Austen's use of "gendered space" in Emma, noting the female characters have a disproportionate number of scenes in the drawing rooms of Highbury while the male characters often have scenes outdoors.

Harriet intimates to Emma that she has fallen in love again, leading Emma to believe Harriet is in love with Frank. For Emma Woodhouse, food is a symbol of human interdependence and goodwill. [34] Irvine suggested the next sentence "would always be called ten" is in fact the voice of the community of Highbury, which wants the fiancée of Mr. Elton to be "perfect", whom the narrator sarcastically calls the "usual" sort of community gossip is about a new arrival in Highbury, whom everyone thinks is "charming".

Austen's setting is that of a provincial community, particularly as it involves the gentry of the region. Meanwhile, Mrs. Weston wonders if Mr. Knightley fancies Jane, but Emma dismisses that. Emma quickly reduces the topic of eating to a bottom-of-the-barrel 'any thing,’ and arbitrary and empty screen that only becomes interesting when projected on by those in love".

She has been mistress of the house (Hartfield) since her older sister got married. [32] Irvine used as an example the following passage: "The charming Augusta Hawkins, in addition to all the usual advantages of perfect beauty and merit, was in possession of as many thousands as would always be called ten; a point of some dignity, as well as some convenience: the story told well; he had not thrown himself away-he had gained a woman of £10,000 or therebouts; and he had gained with delightful rapidity-the first hour of introduction he had been so very soon followed by distinguishing notice; the history which he had to give Mrs Cole of the rise and progress of the affair was so glorious". Mrs. Goddard is the mistress of a boarding school for girls in which Harriet Smith is one of the students.
