Emma Watson

Emma

also: Miss Emma Watson

The heroine of the fragment: youngest of the Watson daughters, raised in comfort by a rich aunt and returned at nineteen, portionless, to her father's crowded parsonage. Her unaffected kindness to a slighted child at her first ball, and her refusal to weigh suitors by rank or income, mark her as one of Austen's most quietly exceptional heroines.
