A PETITION TO THE PRESIDENT

From

THE INTERNATIONAL UPLIFT LEAGUE.

To His Excellency,

The President of

The United States of America,

The White House, Washington, D.C.

Dear Mr. President:

For the GOOD and true HONOR of our beloved country, the United States of America, in the NAME of ALMIGHTY GOD, LYNCHING should be abolished. Opinion seems unanimous that the United States Government possesses permanently the greater jurisdictional control (about 3/4) over each United States Citizen; and the State in which the citizen resides holds the remaining (1/4) jurisdiction.

Hence the elimination of LYNCHING, our most heinous STIGMA, should be accomplished through the Federal Government, because the respective States, for more than fifty years, have failed to suppress LYNCHING. Therefore, we urgently appeal to our honored President, and hereby PETITION him to URGE the enactment into LAW, during the Extra Session of Congress, of either Senator France's or Representative Dyer ANTI-LYNCHING BILL. By such worthy and magnanimous ACT, Mr. President, you will immortalize your NAME like the illustrious Lincoln when we signed the Emancipation Proclamation. Amen.

For the Women.

(Miss) Emma J. Chrichton

For the Men.

David Newton E. Campbell

At the Allen’s Diner I sat in the last booth, when I caught a glimpse of the waitress Ruth. I stared at her, innocent of why Her red hair draped covering her blue eyes. Her finger traced candy red lips and her tongue gently, circled dark nail tips. A soft delicate hand combed back her hair Her seductive eyes caught my stare. I couldn’t resist when she smiled a grin sparkling ivory pearls laced her flawless skin. I rose from the chair to approach her beauty Her apron fell to the floor to reveal her nudity. My celibate life-style no longer I could deny my self pleasure she fulfilling understood. Her slender warm body laid me down I relaxed in her arms and she turned me around. A beauty my eyes had starved so long for was enclosed on my smile as she gave to me more. I closed my eyes to taste her sweet cream When I opened them again I awoke from the dream. ~ #restaurant #diner #Sunset #Endofday #🌅 #dusk #sky #SkyPorn #PaintedSky #FoodPorn #StreetSideSnack #Abandoned #Forgotten #ComeExploreWithMe #LetsGetLost #AllensDiner #FtPierce #Florida #GreasySpoon #StreetPhotography #PoemOfTheDay #poetry #📝📆 #PictureOfTheDay #PhotoOfTheDay #📷📆 #CTSelf (at Ft Pierce Fla....) https://www.instagram.com/p/CiAyxI_uXuE/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Wednesday, 16th February: The obliging Mr. Frank Churchill fastens a rivet

Read the post and comment on WordPress

Read: Vol. 2, chs. 9–10; pp. 149–160 (“Emma did not repent” through to “before they set off for Randalls”).

Context

Emma reflects on her visit to the Coles. She and Harriet go to Ford’s. Mrs. Weston and Frank Churchill call on the Bateses.

We know that this occurs “the next day” from the dinner party of the 15th (p. 149). The rapid pace of events at this point, leading from Jane Fairfax’s and Frank Churchill’s separate entrances into the neighborhood, and Emma’s imaginative suspicions regarding Jane, contrasts with the slowness that followed Emma’s self-reflection in late December and January.

Note that the sections “I Can’t See Without My Glasses!” and “What Made Th’Assembly Shine?” contain spoilers.

Readings and Interpretations

Worthy People!

At the beginning of this section, Emma reflects that she “must have delighted the Coles—worthy people, who deserved to be made happy!” (pp. 149–50). David Monaghan writes that the thought is “indicative of a continued refusal to grant the Coles the respect due to them” (p. 128); indeed, the language is such as can only be used towards a social inferior.

David Amigoni writes that free indirect discourse is here used to “subtly ironis[e] Emma’s condescending social attitude to the Coles”: “While Emma is the focaliser it is the narrator who speaks, so the character is speaking indirectly rather than directly—except, it appears, in the emphatic remark after the slashes (‘worthy people…’), which is in a markedly different register from the narrator’s and is clearly Emma’s direct and unappealing, self-regarding speech” (pp. 29–30). Amigoni’s reading of FID in Emma thus accords with that of other scholars we have discussed who view it as a distancing technique.

Claudia Johnson defends Emma from charges of snobbery: “Emma may be convinced that in attending their party she “must have delighted the Coles—worthy people, who deserved to be made happy!”, but she keeps the satisfactions of condescension to herself.” And “[m]ore than nicety is at issue here”; tact represents a significant social and personal virtue in Austen, while “persistently apprising [others] of their [social] inferiority constitute[s] a socially significant wrong, a theft of the self-satisfaction to which all are entitled” (p. 129).

No Understanding a Word of it

Harriet’s attempt to comfort Emma at Jane Fairfax’s expense has attracted much critical commentary. Ruth Perry writes:

Ignorant Harriet, who hates Italian singing because ‘there is no understanding a word of it’, is more aware of Jane’s material misfortune than her artistic excellence. Callously she remarks, ‘if she does play so very well, you know, it is no more than she is obliged to do, because she will have to teach’ [p. 150]. As Patrick Piggott long ago observed: “From this we may collect that Harriet feels herself in a position to look down on Jane Fairfax—that though she is herself no more than ‘the natural daughter of somebody’—she can, merely because of the liberal allowance made to her by her unknown father, feel superior to a young woman who is as far above her in intellect and accomplishment as she is by birth (97).” (p. 140)

Bruce Stovel attributes Harriet’s attitude in this instance to Emma’s influence: “Harriet changes under Emma’s ministrations; we hear quite a different person halfway through the novel, when Harriet disputes Emma’s praise of Jane Fairfax’s piano-playing […]. Harriet, in other words, is becoming uppity” (n.p.).

Susan Allen Ford connects this scene to Regina Maria Rothe’s The Children of the Abbey, which we know Harriet has read (vol. 1, ch. 4; p. 17). It “suggests […] strongly that Harriet has not learned from her reading”:

When some of the villains attempt to embarrass Amanda [the heroine of Children] by demanding that she play before company, she is so “susceptible of the powers of harmony” that “her style [becomes] so masterly and elegant, as to excite universal admiration” in all except those jealous of her (232). She then sings “a plaintive Italian air” with “exquisite taste and sweetness” (233). Lady Euphrasia, Amanda’s cousin and enemy, declares, “I never knew anything so monstrously absurd… as to let a girl in her situation learn such things, except, indeed, it was to qualify her for a governess, or an opera singer” (233). (And, in fact, Amanda later is employed as a schoolteacher and then as a governess.) […] Not only does this echo suggest that Harriet is a poor reader, impervious to Roche’s moral ironies (and has no “taste” herself), but it also indicates that she shares Emma’s jealousy of Jane Fairfax, without being able to disguise it as well. (n.p.)1

Harriet’s attempt to comfort Emma is, at any rate, bound to fail: “Clearly Harriet takes her opinions from others; she is culturally uninformed; and she ends with the gratuitous sneer of the amateur at the professional. Therefore Emma is not comforted. She is a more discriminating critic than that” (McMaster, p. 35).

Seeing Nothing

The scene in which Emma looks out the door of Ford’s for amusement is generally regarded as thematically important. Rachel Brownstein writes that

Jane Austen’s best readers have found certain passages in her works to be especially dense with secrets and hints about her motives, meanings, practices, and views. One occurs at the mid-point of Emma […]; in the geographical and social center of Highbury, in the midst of Harriet Smith’s shopping at Ford’s store. Emma stands just outside the door of Ford’s, looking “for amusement.” The dramatic climax of what action there is will come later […], but this well-known passage in the thick of things seems to be on many counts central: [quotes from “much could not be hoped” to “does not answer”; vol. 2, ch. 9 (27); p. 151].

What Emma actually sees in the heart of Highbury surely fails to measure up to her hopes of amusement, although those are not high […]. The list of secondary and dead creatures begins to suggest that an ominous gloom threatens to inflect Emma’s boredom—that her idle moment is redolent of mortality. […] A mind as lively as Emma’s is self-reflexive: suffering the low level of conversation at the Coles, she had found herself half-admiring Harriet for being satisfied with its banality. Irony is an aspect of her liveliness of mind: so how are we to read the reflections that go through her mind as she stands outside Ford’s? (pp. 140–1)

Juliet McMaster calls the scene “a moment of still water, as it were, between the Harriet-Elton debacle and the Frank-Jane affair; between the dinner at the Coles and the visit to hear Jane Fairfax play on her new piano” (p. 26). Her reading of it is less “grotesque” (Brownstein, p. 142) than is Brownstein’s:

Emma’s mind, we know, is always “lively,” but not so often “at ease.” But for now she is well entertained. Her mind can “do with seeing nothing”—nothing of major import, that is, or nothing she needs to take over the management of; and it “can see nothing that does not answer”—for her present purpose of being amused. We could explore the last phrase further: Emma’s hyperactive mind, with her habit of eager over-interpretation, can always make something out of nothing. Making something out of nothing, some might claim, is an activity we see her busy at throughout the novel. (pp. 26–7)2

Mark Parker reads Emma’s thinking here as an example of the “bourgeois ideology” which Austen, throughout the course of the novel, “lucidly analyzes”:

“Only by carefully screening her gaze from other considerations can Emma see nothing that is not in Highbury and the nothing that is. The proprietorial gaze of the Hartfield heiress measures the villagers by their capacity to amuse her. Upon finding them inadequate, Emma gives way to flattering considerations of her “lively and at ease” mind. This satisfied gaze finds a comfortable world […] far from the Spa Fields and the heated orations of working-class radicals. That Emma can make do with this “nothing” and cease com plaint testifies to the power of her class to make the world in a way that allows the individuals of her class to perceive it as natural. (p. 358)

Predictions on Diction

For Roger Gard, the fact that Miss Bates “meaninglessly fails to complete sentences” is a “signal” for her “egregious lack of emotional and mental sureness and economy”: “Mr. Knightley (and others) are quite capable of expressive English aposiopesis […], and others break off, like Mr. Elton, under the influence of emotion; but Miss Bates is genuinely, consistently, inconsequent” (p. 171). He quotes Miss Bates’s speech in this chapter (from “I declare I cannot recollect” to “a job of that sort excessively”; p. 154), concluding that it is

full of information, as Mary Lascelles says, including information about Frank’s affected manner—but in marked contrast to the formed speech usual to the other characters. A few lines down there is a further “That, you know, was so very…” And a little later, “He would be so very…” both left hanging. […] Miss Bates’s diffusion is un-eccentric. It seems the result of an experiment with direct, unsummarised representation, closer to a copy of nature than is the speech of the equally commonplace people who surround her—but who finish their sentences. (pp. 171–2)

John Wiltshire also references the sentences which Miss Bates “left hanging”:

Miss Bates’s frequent effusions of gratitude are so intrinsic a part of her social presence—‘You are very kind’; ‘so very obliging’; ‘such a very kind attention’ etc.—that they obviously contribute to Emma’s irritation and antagonism. When Miss Bates says that fixing her mother’s spectacles was ‘so very obliging of Mr. Frank Churchill’, this reiterated tic of her conversational repertoire allows Austen (on side with Emma) to play a game, for Frank is soon said to be ‘so very…’, and a little later in the same speech, ‘That, you know was so very…’, which omissions are like winks to the reader to supply the missing word. The iteration of ‘so very obliging’ is a constant reminder that, as Knightley is to put it later, Miss Bates has ‘sunk from the comforts she was born to’; a reminder of social inequality, and thus, as Emma must instinctively recognise, of the obligation to oblige. (p. 133)3

I Can’t See Without My Glasses!

When Emma looks down the Randalls road from the doorway of Ford’s, “[t]he scene enlarged; two persons appeared” (p. 151). Laura Mooneyham notes that “[t]his way of introducing Frank shows that he functions primarily to enlarge the scope of Emma’s imaginings; his duplicity and Emma’s role as his dupe are made clear by the fact that his destination is Jane Fairfax’s home, not Emma’s” (p. 135)

As in previous sections, a knowledge of future events teaches us how to read parts of this day. Mrs. Weston says to Emma, “‘my companion tells me […] that I absolutely promised Miss Bates last night, that I would come this morning. I was not aware of it myself. I did not know that I had fixed a day, but as he says I did, I am going now” (p. 151). Frank has presumably lied in order to conjure an opportunity to see Jane; Emma’s supposition that Hartfield was the ultimate destination and the Bateses’ merely a waypoint is incorrect. The idea that Frank “returned with Mrs. Weston to Mrs. Bates’s door” “with the hope of Hartfield to reward him” is the kind of trick to which the first volume has accustomed us (p. 152).

Chapter nine ends with the arrival of Emma and Mrs. Weston to the Bateses, some time after Frank Churchill has arrived. Wiltshire notes how evocative this chapter break is:

An especially clever use of textual space occurs when Emma climbs the awkward stairs to the Bateses’ rooms in order to view the famous pianoforte at the end of chapter nine of the second volume […]: [quotes from “Pray take care, Mrs. Weston” to “the step at the turning” (p. 155)]. This is the end of the chapter. The next opens with ‘The appearance of the little sitting-room as they entered, was tranquillity itself.’ The space between the chapters—the structural pause in reading—mimics the few moments of warning given by Miss Bates’s voice to Frank and Jane that allows them, presumably engaged upstairs in something not quite tranquil, to take up the positions that are revealed as the new chapter opens […]. Thus the arrangement of the text, together with the sly and duplicitous first sentence of chapter ten—‘appearance’ being interpretable in more than one sense—connives with the trickery it designates. (pp. 110–1)

Frank and Jane’s positions as the others enter the room do indeed seem posed: “Frank Churchill, at a table near her, most deedily occupied about her spectacles, and Jane Fairfax, standing with her back to them, intent on her pianoforte.”4 Joseph Wiesenfarth explains the scene thusly:

Mrs. Bates cannot knit without spectacles. She cannot hear well either (II.i.158). When the party of women arrives, Mrs. Weston is surprised to see Frank still on the job: “‘What! . . . have not you finished it yet?”‘Of course he hasn’t; he has hardly begun. Since Mrs. Bates can’t see, hear, or work, she falls asleep. Frank has effectually been alone with Jane. He is not wasting time with spectacles; he is making time with Jane! By taking away Mrs. Bates’s spectacles, he has created an occasion for his convenience. Frank, in these circumstances, can safely tell Jane about Emma’s shameful conjectures about the pianoforté, which Jane stares at as Emma enters the room. (p. 11)

What Made Th’Assembly Shine?

At several points throughout this section, Frank uses Emma’s suspicion to communicate with Jane. Per Alistair Duckworth, “if we […] consider how the scene appears to Jane, a very different meaning is evident” than the one that is apparent to Emma, or to many first-time readers: “to her Churchill’s remarks can only appear as an amusing ridicule of Emma, and as a series of embarrassing but touchingly nostalgic remembrances of their shared experiences” (pp. 170–1).

When Frank hints at the significance of the date of the piano’s arrival, for example, he is supposedly teasing Jane about Mr. Dixon but really emphasizing its status as a Valentine’s Day gift from him: “How much your friends in Ireland must be enjoying your pleasure on this occasion, Miss Fairfax. I dare say they often think of you, and wonder which will be the day, the precise day of the instrument’s coming to hand” (p. 157). Ruth Perry also notes that

Frank calls attention to other aspects of the unexpected present, to the ‘softness of the upper notes’, apparently preferred by Col. Campbell and all his party at Weymouth, and probably specified in the order to Broadwood [p. 156]. He picks up some of the music that was sent with the instrument, […] exclaiming on how thoughtfully the gift was managed, ‘so thoroughly from the heart’. He adds ‘true affection only could have prompted it’, which elicits from Jane Fairfax a smile she tries to hide. (p. 142)

Jane’s performance on the pianoforte may also be a hint. The tune of “Robin Adair” is from the earlier folk tune “Eileen Aroon,” which Perry notes was “associated with disguise, secrecy and thwarted love” (p. 144); the lyrics

were said to have been written by Lady Caroline Keppel in the 1750s when her family forbade her to marry the penniless surgeon Robin Adair. Her health broke down, and she was sent to Bath, where she wrote these plaintive verses; but as she grew weaker, her family relented, and allowed her to marry her love. Thus this tale too emphasises an unequal match and parental disapproval with an eventual happy marriage. (p. 145)

Peter Alexander notes that “‘Robin Adair’ immediately follows another piece of music Jane has played and which had special significance for herself and Frank in that they danced to it at Weymouth, where they entered their secret engagement, and she is plainly using the music as a covert means of replying to Frank’s covert affirmation of his continued love” (p. 85). He argues that the song’s lyrics “allusively but aptly foreshadow[] much of the suffering, the privation, and the secrecy she has to endure up to the point when Frank’s aunt dies” (p. 86).

Footnotes

Margaret Doody instead compares Emma to Lady Euphrasia on the basis of this incident: “At moments, Emma unconsciously indulges inner gloating over the prospect of Jane’s talents descending into the thankless work of a governess. After the Coles’ party the naively sycophantic Harriet comfortingly voices the opinions Emma would like to be allowed to indulge […]. Austen switches the poles of Roche’s narrative; in the new narrative focus, readers’ sympathies go to the “the mean girl,” while the talented disadvantaged beauty has to fight (often in vain) for an equal place in the narrative” (p. 162).

Robert Merrett also reads the scene as an index of Emma’s creativity: “Clearly, despite the imaginative indulgence and illusions of omniscience which produce dissatisfaction, Emma’s mind can achieve contentment and be acceptably creative within the limits of empirical ideas” (p. 43). On this scene see also Mooneyham (p. 134); Tsomondo (p. 191).

See Barchas on how this serves to emphasize the adverb: “On a few occasions, judgment simply comes to a halt at very” (p. 312).

Austen is credited by the OED as the first user of the word “deedily” in print, but the word may have been dialectical: see van Ostade, p. 228.

Discussion Questions

What do you think of the Coles after the events of the last section? Is Emma being unjust to them?

What motivates Harriet’s comment about Jane? What can we tell about Harriet from this comment, and why is Emma unconvinced by it?

What is the narrative purpose of Miss Bates’s sometimes fragmented syntax? What does it say, if anything, about her character?

For repeat readers: do you see any other hints of the future plot of the novel that I have not mentioned?

Al cinema il docu-film su FRANK ZAPPA | 15-17 novembre #frankzappa arriverà nelle sale italiane con Nexo Digital dal 15 al 17 novembre ZAPPA, il film di Alex Winter che indaga gli aspetti più intimi e umani della figura del geniale musicista di Baltimora. Grazie all’accesso illimitato concesso dalla famiglia al suo caveau, che comprende una vasta collezione di inediti, film, progetti rimasti incompleti, interviste mai viste prima e registrazioni di concerti inediti, ZAPPA racconta la carriera del musicista nemico del politicamente corretto, dagli esordi da autodidatta alla battaglia contro la censura, sino agli ultimi lavori. Un film che esplora la vita privata dietro la gigantesca carriera musicale che non si è mai allontanata dalle turbolenze politiche del suo tempo. Il documentario è arricchito dagli interventi della vedova di Zappa, Gail Zappa, e di molti dei suoi storici collaboratori musicali, tra cui Mike Keneally, Ian Underwood, Steve Vai, Pamela Des Barres, Bunk Gardner, David Harrington, Scott Thunes, Ruth Underwood, Ray White. Non un viaggio nostalgico nel passato, ma un'esplorazione moderna su un uomo geniale la cui visione di mondo, arte e politica si è sempre distinta spingendosi oltre gli schemi dei tempi in cui ha vissuto. Spiega il regista Alex Winter: “A me e al produttore Glen Zipper sembrava incredibile che non ci fosse ancora un documentario definitivo e completo sulla vita e sui tempi di Frank Zappa. Abbiamo deciso di realizzarlo noi: di raccontare una storia attraverso un film che non è un documentario musicale né un film biografico convenzionale. È la saga drammatica di un grande artista e pensatore americano; un film che desidera trasmettere la portata della prodigiosa della produzione creativa di Zappa e l'ampiezza della sua straordinaria vita personale e politica. Innanzitutto, volevo creare un'esperienza cinematografica molto umana e universale su un individuo straordinario”. Tra i produttori del film: Jade Allen, Devorah DeVries, John Frizzell, Alex Winter, Ahmet Zappa, Glen Zipper. L’uscita del film segue la pubblicazione della colonna sonora, tuttora disponibile in Digitale, CD e LP in tutti gli store musicali. https://www.instagram.com/p/CU8Ssbns1rB/?utm_medium=tumblr
