15th January: Emma and Harriet call on Miss Bates

Read and comment on WordPress

Read: Vol. 2, ch. 1 [19]; pp. 98–104 (“Emma and Harriet had been walking together” through to “able to escape the letter itself.”)

Context

Emma visits Miss Bates in a bid to distract Harriet. She has an ingenious suspicion regarding Jane Fairfax and Mr. Dixon.

We know that this occurs the week of January 9th: Jane Fairfax is expected “next week” “Friday or Saturday” (vol. 2, ch. 1 [19], p. 101), which must be the 21st or 22nd, since it is just before it will have been “four weeks” since Mr. Elton’s departure (vol. 2, ch. 3 [21]; p. 113).

The practice of ‘crossing’ a letter involves filling a page with writing in one direction, then turning the page and adding another set of writing at a 90-degree angle to the first. (Some letters would be crossed twice, which involves adding a third set of writing at a 45-degree angle). This was done to reduce expenditures on paper and on postage; given that postage on letters sent through the postal system at this time was charged to the recipient, not the sender, of a letter, Jane’s crossing her letters may be read as consideration for the Bateses’ financial situation.

Note that the third section (“An Animating Suspicion”) contains spoilers.

Readings and Interpretations

On Structure

Many commenters point out that the sleepy and confined nature of life in Highbury in evidence in volume one opens up slightly with the arrivals that occur throughout volume two. Marcia Folsom, for example, writes that the “newcomers energize the novel, and they displace Emma from the center of her world” (2004, p. xxviii). Adena Rosmarin argues that we leave volume one overconfident in our ability as readers due to our supposedly clear-sighted view of Emma’s errors and penitence; however,

[a]s we leave Volume I the novel broadens and deepens. We need more information and less distraction to continue making sense of Emma’s world, but, not incidentally, we get precisely the reverse. Miss Bates, Jane Fairfax, Frank Churchill, and Mrs. Elton are introduced. The helpful narrator of Volume I appears less frequently and more enigmatically, intimating that more is known than is written […]. Thrown back on our own overconfident and desensitized resources, we are tempted to trust Emma. But because the Elton episode has left her not less unreliable but only more subtly so, the temptation is as dangerous as it is irresistible. Moreover, our very mode of making sense, the passive reading sufficient to the cloistered world of Volume I, becomes suddenly and unexpectedly outmoded, replaced by a hermeneutic dance of bewildering complexity.

[…] The end of Volume I, then, marks our hermeneutic nadir: hubris and complacency are at their height, our faith in the novel’s conventional design at its most naive. From here on the growing subtlety of Emma’s misreadings increasingly challenges and thus develops our reading competence, our misreadings and Emma’s becoming increasingly alike, both in kind and degree […]. This convergence is the novel’s major affective strategy. (p. 325)

The Third Rate of Highbury

This section opens with Emma paying a call to the Bateses in order to spare herself from hearing more of Mr. Elton. Emma’s ulterior motive for paying the call seems to cause her some compunction.1 Folsom writes that,

[i]n many places, Emma seems to be defending herself against the introjected voice of Mr. Knightley, plainly suggesting how deeply his presence and importance have entered her consciousness […]. At […] times, she is not quite able to forget his criticisms; it is he whom Emma sometimes mentally addresses in her self-examinations. [Quotes from “She had had many a hint” to “third rate of Highbury,” p. 99.] […] Emma’s unspoken thoughts capture her habit of listing arguments in groups of three or four items […], and her grasping at exaggerated diction to explain her decision to herself […]. Her “horror” reflects Emma’s almost visceral fear of contamination if she pays a call to the Bateses. (2016, pp. 46–7)2

Some critics assume that the “second and third rate” descriptor applies to rank and thus evidences Emma’s snobbery. U.C. Knoepflmacher, however, connects the phrase to a quality of mind, rather than to rank alone: “those ‘second rate and third rate’ minds of Highbury so contemptuously scorned by Emma for their unimaginativenes” (p. 641). And Paul Pickrel writes of this as one occasion on which Emma’s actions only “seem to be based on snobbery” (p. 300, emphasis mine): Emma’s

reason seems suspect; the women that she meets in the Bateses’ parlor are after all more or less the same women that she meets anywhere else that she goes. The reader suspects that the real objection to the Bateses’ society is Miss Bates’s fondness for singing the praises of her niece Jane Fairfax, when a truly superior society would be occupied with singing the praises of Emma Woodhouse; and this suspicion is borne out by Emma’s decision to call on the Bateses on a certain occasion because she thinks (mistakenly, as it turns out) that there is a less than usual chance that Jane Fairfax will be the topic of conversation that day. (ibid.)

Lloyd Brown points out that the disjointed syntax and repeated em dashes in Emma’s thinking here ironically mirror Miss Bates’s speech, which

similarity is satirically incongruous, for the narrow selfishness that has inspired Emma’s embarrassed self-defense is directly opposed to Miss Bates’s “universal good-will and contented temper” [vol. 1, ch. 3; p. 12]. Emma’s broken sentences express the shamefaced recognition—and simultaneous denial—of insensitivity towards Jane Fairfax. (pp. 130–1)

An Animating Suspicion

Emma and Harriet are given an unexpected indirect recounting of one of Jane Fairfax’s letters upon paying their visit. This meandering summarizing constitutes the first time that we have heard Miss Bates speak at length; we may begin to understand why Emma considers this kind of conversation “tiresome” (vol. 1, ch. 8; p. 37; or vol. 2, ch. 1 [19], p. 98), or test Emma’s claim that “[e]very letter from [Jane] is read forty times over” (which, similarly, “tires [her] to death”; vol. 1, ch. 10; p. 56). After hearing this monologue, Emma violates the (somewhat excessive) resolution with which she ended the first volume, to “supress[] imagination all the rest of her life” (vol. 1, ch. 18; p. 92), in suspecting Jane to be in love with her friend’s husband. Folsom points out that this incident evidences the speed and vigor of Emma’s mind:

In listening to Miss Bates’s undiscriminating and random summary of her niece’s letter […] Emma suddenly discerns something mysterious in Jane Fairfax’s decision to give her time to Highbury. [quotes from “At this moment, an ingenious and animating suspicion” to “‘come to you at such a time’”; vol. 2, ch. 1 [19]; p. 102].

The idea that leaps into Emma’s mind is a way to impose a meaningful narrative on Miss Bates’s fragmentary recounting of events at Weymouth […]. Emma’s thought is both “ingenious,” that is, clever as an interpretation, and “animating,” that is, exhilarating to Emma in her dislike of Jane Fairfax. The suspicion suddenly occurs to her as a way to explain Miss Fairfax’s otherwise incomprehensible decision to come to Surrey in January for three months for her “health.” The narrative Emma imaginesof an adulterous love that Mr. Dixon might have felt for Jane Fairfax while being engaged to her friend Miss Campbell—is entirely Emma’s fantasy, but her sense that there must be a secret reason for Jane’s willingness to be entrapped in the small Bates household is right. […] In such moments, Austen seems to have an image of Emma’s mind—a brain—into which ideas and insights shoot suddenly, perhaps from layers of mind not accessible to conscious thought. (2016, pp. 42–3)

That her suspicion is “animating” is also relevant to Emma’s stultifying situation: as Tony Tanner writes, “what on earth—or, rather, what in Hartfield and Highbury —is going to ‘animate’ Emma, with her constantly brimming high spirits, if not the scenarios, indeed the fantasies, of her own brain?” (p. 188). Mary Hong, however, argues that it is the syntax of Miss Bates’s speech, and not Emma’s mind alone, that gives rise to Emma’s interpretation: “In narrating her niece’s letter […], Miss Bates’s broken syntax links the name of Jane to that of Mr. Dixon while Mrs. Dixon’s name drops out altogether” (p. 243). Among other examples, she notes that,

[b]ook-ended by Jane’s name, the sentence “it was very natural, you know, that he should like to speak of his own place while he was paying his addresses” seems to refer to Jane rather than to the future Mrs. Dixon. The insistent juxtaposition on the level of syntax suggests, to the reader’s and Emma’s ear, an intimacy between Jane and Mr. Dixon that goes beyond their relationship as the close friend and the husband, respectively, of Mrs. Dixon.

[…] [T]he use of (broken) syntax actually conveys a meaning (or encourages a reading) at odds with the intention of the speaker. As a representation of Jane’s letter, it is also at odds with the real intent of the writer. Hence, Emma’s relief that “though she had in fact heard the whole substance of Jane Fairfax’s letter, she had been able to escape the letter itself” is ironic, for had Emma read the actual letter offered by Miss Bates instead of rushing away, she would not have been misled by Miss Bates’s peculiar syntactical paraphrase of it. […] Emma’s imaginative stories, instead of reshaping the world before it, actually result from her immersion in the world (at least in Miss Bates’s version of reality). In contrast to the collapse of subjectivity with the free indirect discourse given in accounts of the novel, the generative capacity of Miss Bates’s superficial description suggests that interiority and narration are not inseparable. (p. 244)

Miss Bates’s speech, then—often ignored by characters and critics like—has significance both at the level of plot and character (Emma is not coming up with fantasies out of whole cloth) and at the level of language and narration (the implications of a character’s language as revealed through free indirect discourse may not always be what they ‘mean’).

Footnotes

For Claudia Johnson, this is in itself evidence of Emma’s good qualities: “although Knightley thinks her ‘rather negligent’ in contributing to the ‘stock’ of Miss Bates’s ‘scanty comforts,’ Emma’s ‘own heart’ ranks visits there an obligation” (p. 128).

See also Morris: “[Emma’s] language suggests an almost visceral fear that contact with the socially unrecognised will contaminate the integrity of her sovereign self. […] To fall from privileged eminence is to lose perceptibility in the mass of undistinguished others” (p. 89).

Discussion Questions

Do you think Emma’s behavior towards the Bateses is really negligent? Why does she dread visiting there as much as she does? Is the “second and third rate of Highbury” a description of rank, a description of a quality of mind that Emma dislikes, or a cover for other sentiments entirely?

What inspires Emma to suspect Jane Fairfax of an illicit affair with her friend’s husband?

What does Miss Bates’s monologue signify for her as a character, or for the narrative strategy of the novel?

[wutbju]

Robert “John” Gordon III, 66, of Springfield, MO, moved to heaven to be with his Savior, Jesus Christ, on May 8, 2019. Born in Detroit, MI, on May 11, 1952, John was the eldest son of Robert John Gordon, Jr. and Edith Mae (Dayton) Gordon.

John graduated from Wade Hampton High School in Greenville, SC and attended Bob Jones University in Greenville, SC. John and Brenda were married June, 16, 1972 at the Branson Bible Church in Branson, MO and made their home in Springfield, MO. John worked at Lilly Cup until 1980 at which time he started Landscape Artistry, a landscape design and Installation Company, which he operated until his death.

John was a faithful and loving husband, father, brother, brother-in-law and friend. Though John submitted his eternal life to Jesus Christ at an early age, led by the guidance of his Godly mother, it was in 1980, prompted by circumstances of life, that John began a much deeper walk with Christ. He and Brenda and young son Chris began attending Glendale Baptist Church in Springfield where they met and joined with other young couples in pursuing their Christian walk. Many lifelong relationships were formed at Glendale and many more were added when John, Brenda, Chris and Jenny began attending Rolling Hills Baptist Church. Old relations were kept and new ones added when the family began attending James River Assembly, now called James River Church.

John and Brenda were missionaries and Ambassadors for Christ, not formally ordained by any church, rather through their obedience to God’s Word and calling on their life to be charitable, hospitable and to bind up the broken-hearted. Even though John traveled to many foreign lands on 14 church mission trips and although he spearheaded sending numerous shipping containers filled with clothes, kitchen equipment, bicycles, boats, and even Christmas lights to the church in foreign countries, most will consider the missional activities that occurred at the Gordon home as John and Brenda’s most important mission work. God blessed John with a wife who could whip up incredible meals on a moment’s notice, beds ready for the weary, so John could carry out his heartfelt backyard counseling and fellowship to people of all ages and cultures. Brenda and the family came to expect the ‘guess who’s coming for dinner’ calls as John sought out those who may not know the Lord, those who needed a helping hand or those who could join in their fellowship ministry. An example of this compassion would be John and Brenda’s taking meals to the homeless living under bridges in Springfield and sharing the Gospel with them.

John’s mother provided an early foundation of Bible study and church attendance and John continued Bible study throughout his life. He had an excellent retention of scriptures and could always recall the proper scripture in the proper context to share with someone needing encouragement or guidance. John was a true prayer warrior, regularly leaving the house at 4:00 a.m. to pray with a brother-in-Christ.

John didn’t merely read the Bible, it was his compass. One of this favorites, Isaiah 41:10 (NIV), “So do not fear for I am with you; do not be dismayed for I am your God I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.” John had experienced a long battle with congenital heart disease and yet was able to live a joyful and abundant life. He knew the measurement of success was not an earthly measure but rather heavenly. Jeremiah 9:23-24 (NIV) was imprinted on his heart. “This is what is what the LORD says ‘ Let not the wise man boast of his wisdom or the strong man boast of his strength or the rich man boast of his riches, but let him who boasts boast about this: that he understands and knows me. That I am the LORD, who exercises kindness, justice, and righteousness on earth, for in these I delight,’ declares the LORD.

John loved fishing, bow hunting, golf and entertaining friends and strangers. John’s unconditional love for his children Chris and Jenny naturally enabled him to be a fun and engaging grandfather “POP POP” to his three grandchildren. When he was able, he enjoyed taking them fishing on the piers in Florida and teaching them real life examples from the Bible. John was a true ‘fisher of men’.

John wrote two published books, The Lord and the Landscaper and The Landscaper’s Secret. These two books chronicled intimate moments between the Lord and John in his regular early hours of reading, prayer, and waiting on the Lord.

Someone said when God made Robert John Gordon, III, the Lord broke the mold…we will not need another like him…so true. No one could or will ever be able to fill the place John filled in the hearts and lives of his family and friends. “Well done, good and faithful servant! You have been faithful with a few things. I will set you over much. Enter into the joy of your Master.” Matthew 25:23 (ESV)

Visitation will be held Saturday, May 11, at 10:00 a.m. in the main auditorium at James River Church – West Campus, Springfield, MO followed in the same place by a Celebration of Life service at 11:00 a.m., Reverend John Lindell officiating. Immediately following the services, a graveside service and burial will be at Rivermonte Memorial Gardens, Springfield, MO.

Pallbearers are Ed Anders, Randy Cantrell, Ron Firestone, Don Frank, Bill Hart, Mike Morris, Galen Pellham, Phil Stocker, Curt Stiles, and Bill Woods.

John was preceded in death by his parents and a brother, William “Bill” Gordon.

John is survived by wife, Brenda Kay (Cushman) Gordon; son, Christopher and wife, Emma Gordon; daughter, Jennifer and husband, Ben Bosscher; grandchildren Skylar, Tristan and Landon Bosscher; sister, Sheila (Gordon) Summers; mother-in-law, Amanda Cushman; brothers and sisters-in-law, Vickie and Wayne Dixon, Lynda Jury, Sherry and Harry Behle, David Cushman; and many nieces and nephews.

Not really an OC, but my design/interpretation- Emma May Dixon, Old Man McGucket’s ex-wife.  Elementary school librarian.  Has seen more than any mortal should, but still stayed with him until the “Racoon Wife Incident.“  Then divorced him despite the “Pterodactyl” incident.  The remains of the Pterodactyl are still in her garage awaiting the day of her retirement.

The outcome of the softball game:

The rivalry of this game is rather legendary, every year the Hollow Grove Fire Department and Police station face off for bragging rights for the year. Coming in after a two year winning streak the HGPD feels like they’ve got it in the bag, they’ve even brought in local Logan Legend to play pitcher for them. Heckling and taunting is pretty much a given but no one dishes it quite like Scarlett Cardwell. Jack Haley and Colton DeForest, unfortunately spend most of the game trying to keep her from getting into a fight with the other team when it goes too far. Then of course there is trying to keep Rowan Hastings and Isabelle Cresswell in their designated positions when they wonder off. 

The crowd is a mixture of silent spectators from far and wide and there is plenty of heckling that happens amongst them and towards the players. When Rowan Hasting’s take a baseball to the face though Emma Sawyer takes to the field and patches the young wolf up in no time and he’s back in the game in no time. 

During the seventh inning stretch the HGPD takes the lead once more, hitting several out of the park home runs, when they realize all the spare balls are missing. Anne Glass sitting in the stand simply smiles innocently as she watches the confusion that ensues for a good twenty minutes. During the lull in the game, Delilah Reyes gets bored so naturally she decides now would be a great time to streak across the field. Chaos ensues for a good ten minutes until the balls are found and Jack Haley retrieves Delilah’s clothing for her. 

In the final inning, the police department is up by three points with the fire department up for their final bat. Dash Hastings and Nick Adler manage to get on base but two strikes leave the fate of HGFD looking grim. Then Jamie Taylor comes up to bat, he’s been rocketing them out to center and left field all day but when notices that HGPD has put probably their worst player, Isabelle Cresswell, in right field. So with one swift strike he hits the ball into right field. A pop fly that by any means should be easy to catch. A very enthusiastic Issy is certain she will catch and every one watches with batted breath as the ball rockets towards her. Then suddenly the sound of the ice cream truck can be heard in the distance and distraction sets in. “Oh ice cream.” Can be heard as the blonde turns to run off the field towards the ice cream truck and everyone watches in shock as the ball hits the ground with a hollow thud and then sudden their is an explosion of cheering from the fire department as the players round the bases. Colton DeForest scurries from his place at first towards the ball but at this point its almost too late. Jamie Taylor is rounding third and headed for home, the crowd is screaming and the fate of the game comes down to Colton throwing the ball home. Dust flies as Jamie slides into home as the ball reaches the catcher and the crowd is silent as the ump makes the final call. 

‘SAFE’

Beautiful May Wedding With The Dress Of Dreams.

Victoria and Russel married at the stunning Dewsall Court in Herefordshire in May, and what a wedding! This was so special, I just had to share it with you.

Images by the hugely talented Nicola Dixon

When I first met Victoria, and her mum Karen, I just knew this wedding would be a dream from the start. The colours, the dress, the flowers, the styling, it was all just perfect.

Roses are Victoria’s favourite flower, and they were the running theme through the entire wedding.  With no exception the bouquet flowers were made using beautiful roses supplied by the Real Flower Company in Hampshire. We used David Austins Keira, White Ohara, Prince Jardinier, Cream piaget and peony pink. Victoria wanted her bouquet to be scented and it was, we added in sweet peas, and lily of the valley, as it was her grandmothers favourite flower. Myrtle from the mother of the Brides garden. Silver lavender, mint, scented geranium and eucalyptus, this was without a doubt a bouquet bursting with floral scents. For the final flourish we finished using our own organic, natural dyed silk ribbons to complete the look.

The bridesmaids had smaller versions of the bridal bouquet.

Victoria chose Eleanor from Leglow Brides to do the makeup, and Angie from Beautiful Brides to style her hair.

Victoria's dress was designed by herself and Emma. It was out of this world. With a simple, sexy split to show off those sequin Jimmy Choos. The dress was from Emma Beaumont Atelier.

The ceremony took place in the Wainhouse at Dewsall. For this we decorated with rustic chandeliers, that were hung above the aisle. We made multiple bunches of scented eucalyptus, rosemary and mint. They were then placed on the chairs.

The ceremony table had a gorgeous arrangement of the all the bridal flowers. The huge bundle of fresh flowers scented the wain for the whole ceremony.

After the ceremony, we saw the wain transformed for the reception. We decorated the long tables with a collection of foliage runners, and candles.

The yummy cake was made by Jo from Secret Cinderella, and of course decorated with needlessly endless scented roses.

MEDICAL/BEHAVIORAL COUNTER MEASURES

[Note:  This posting is a continuation of a report on the development of a civics unit of study. This unit is directing students to formulate informed positions on the opioid epidemic.  It is being developed in real time.  Writer wants to express gratitude to Wikipedia for identifying the bulk of the research this blog has used in the development of this unit.[1]]

So, where is this effort at in developing a unit of study of the opioid epidemic?  To date, this blog has divided the topic into a list of aspects or elements.  That list includes a short history, a definition of the crisis in terms of federalist values, a description of how the epidemic affects individual victims, production and distribution of opioid drugs, demographic factors of the crisis, and governmental reactions.  

The various postings, leading to this one, have addressed each of these aspects by mostly reporting related factoids and insights.  These in turn have been discovered or proposed by related research. The reader is invited, using the archive feature, to review those postings if he/she is new to this blog.

This posting continues this progression by sharing factoids and insights associated with medical counter measures.  This aspect promises to be the last before advancing to the next step in developing this unit; i.e., developing lesson ideas.  This next step considers targeted lesson plans that will utilize the information that those prior postings reported.

As for medical counter measures, this topic can be addressed from two perspectives: generally, and through the lens of the effects of various drugs, such as methadone, have on patients.  This posting will utilize both perspectives: that of the medical approaches generally and a look at a number of drugs used in drug addiction treatment protocols.

Factoids:

·        There seems to be a national strategy emphasis; i.e., to talk more on prevention than on treatment of those already addicted.[2]  

·        Among either doctor-prescribed or doctor-regulated treatment regimens there are both medical and behavioral components.  They count on various drugs – kratom, naloxone, methadone, or buprenorphine – and then combine it with behavioral treatments including individual and group therapies, residential treatments, and 12-step programs.[3]

·        Probably the most known treatment drug is methadone; it has been the most studied of the various drug treatment options.  It has been in use since the nineteen-sixties.[4]

·        Buprenorphine comes in various forms including an implanted form called Probuphine.  The implanted form lasts six-months.[5]

·        Between the years 2003 and 2011, the use of buprenorphine has increased 40%.[6]  More recent figures are needed.

·        For most addicts of opioids, a treatment strategy that either lacks a drug or behavioral component, the evidence shows that the strategy is less effective for most patients.[7]

·        There are other components available as counter measures.  They include: harm reduction approaches,[8] the drug, naloxone,[9] needle exchange programs,[10] and the use of blue lights in public spaces – it discourages injecting drugs since it is harder to detect veins.[11]

Insights:

·        Methadone, itself, happens to be a long-acting opioid.  As such it can function to replace heroin with just a single daily dosage by attaching chemically to the opioid brain and spinal cord receptors.  This leads to activating the brain and spinal cord in such a way as to diminish symptoms, reduce cravings, and suppressing highs that heroin and other opioids induce.  The aims, of this regimen, are to taper off the dependency the user has under a controlled environment and to increase the likelihood of avoiding a relapse. Since, it is a controlled regimen, the patient needs to pick up daily dosages from a methadone clinic.  This is not feasible for all addicts or it adds to the possibility of patients being stigmatized since their treatment is a fairly public activity.[12]

·        Over-use of opioids has serious consequences.  Dependence on the drug are associated with contraction of HIV and to overdosing.  To meet this challenge, there has been two overall approaches:  medical and behavioral.  What is better?  It depends on the addicted person.[13]

·        Growing in popularity is a treatment that uses buprenorphine.  Like methadone, in terms of usage, there is much less of a controlled regimen.  Yes, there is the need for a prescription to attain this drug, but less regulated demands. Patients receive month-long prescriptions, so there are no daily visits to clinics.  The claim by its advocates is that it is safer than methadone and its use aims at reducing or quitting the use of heroin or other opiates.  In addition, it is credited with eliminating cravings and withdrawal symptoms but not inducing a euphoric high.[14]

·        Since buprenorphine can be administered through physician offices and only call for a visit once every month, consequently, the cost of detox is reduced drastically.[15]

With that, this phase of developing a unit of study is done; now, the focus will be, with the next posting, the designing of lessons.  As a point of reference, this unit is visualized as a week-long unit with four instructional lessons and one evaluative lesson.
