Hello, I'm Tim.
Today, I've got a story set in England in the 1800s.
It's about a young woman who's not afraid to speak her mind and who discovers that romance is not as simple
as it seems.
This woman is called Emma.
She lives in a small village right in the middle of the English countryside.
She's pretty, smart, and a strong and independent woman in her own right.
When she's not out socialising, she looks after her elderly father.
She thinks life is okay, but she would like a bit more excitement and fun.
She enjoys her carefree lifestyle and has vowed never to settle down and get married.
So instead,
she decides to make friends with a younger woman called Harriet and help her find a husband.
So,
she sets out to make Harriet a gentleman's wife and teach her about the right type of man to marry.
She tells her to set her sights on the town's clergyman, Mr Elton.
But it turns out Mr Elton is in love with Emma.
Or at least her money.
So her plan has failed.
And then the handsome Frank Churchill arrives, and Emma herself starts to fall in love with him.
She flirts with him, and he does seem to be interested in Emma,
