Her family is respected enough to be able to mix with the best families, including a Lord interested in Emma, and comfortable enough to have a servant, but in the circles they run around in are considered "poor." Only nineteen, Emma has a lot more confidence than Fanny Price, and a lot less snobbishness than her namesake Emma Woodhouse. Like Fanny Price, she's someone who was raised away from her birth family by a rich relation-except she had expectations of being an heiress, which were disappointed by her rich aunt marrying again, throwing her back to her original family. The protagonist in this novel, Emma Watson, is very likable. ![]() The Watsons is an abandoned novel of about 17,500 words written in Austen's largely "silent" period after Sense and Sensibility and Price and Prejudice but before Mansfield Park and Emma and Persuasion. ![]()
