Literature- Wednesday- 2nd period

"All right, everybody!" Jess said, clapping her hands together when everyone had gotten there. Was she in Austen-period costume? Yes. Yes she was. Be glad she wasn't doing a whole character. "I hope you all read the meta for Emma over the last week, because if you didn't... well, we're going to discuss it anyway and you're going to be expected to participate so you'll know better next time.

"So, the meta for Emma comes to us from Jane Austen, who's had a lot of her works turned into movies, or had zombies added into them, and this book in particular got a 90's update that was pretty inescapable for those of us who happened to be in high school at the time," Jess said. "For today we're going to discuss the book, and you should all pay attention because you have a book report due next week and this discussion might help."

"I think it was awfully kind-hearted of her to try," said Cosette, who had absolutely no clue whatsoever about romance and therefore no idea whether everyone else would have ended up together otherwise.

"Me too," Rilla said, suffering from similar blind spots.

Cosette glanced over and gave Rilla a grateful smile. "And they wouldn't have had to go along with it if it didn't suit them, would they?"

Somewhere out in town, Éponine was probably getting the inexplicable urge to roll her eyes so hard right now.

"They were given a backbone," Rilla agreed.

But then she came from a village with a long and successful history of matchmaking busybodies.

Cosette, meanwhile, had long ago mastered the art of getting her father to give in whenever she felt like it, and it wasn't as if Madame Thénardier had been timid or unassertive in any way.

"Yes -- if they didn't care for it, there was nothing preventing them from telling her so."

"Exactly," Rilla said, beaming at Cosette.
