Book Trivia - Question 5

Today's question is going to be a little different, I'm going to ask 'you' (the reader) who said what quote. I will give you the book and the author, so that should make it a little easier. I hope you enjoy this.



The book & author
Emma
Jane Austen


From the book: "...your saying to yourself one idle day, 'I think it would be a very good thing for Miss Taylor if Mr. Weston were to marry her,' and saying it again to yourself every now and then afterwards, why do you talk of success?"*


1) Can you name the person who is speaking this sentence?
2) Who was this person speaking to?
3) What game were Emma and her father going to play in the beginning of the book?


There will be more question from Emma in following weeks, plus other classics. Please feel free to comment on any posting now and in the future. Have a wonderful week.


*This quote was copied exactly from the book of Emma that I am reading.

Just taking a guess, but it sounds like Mr. Knightly speaking to Emma. I don't know what game they were going to play, whist maybe? :0)

Thank you for your comment.

You are correct about it being Mr. Knightley and that he was speaking to Emma.

Unfortunately the game wasn't whist, would you like to try again?
