In Chapter 4, Mr. Elton returns engaged to Augusta Hawkins, and constant praise of his happiness deepens Harriet’s distress while Emma questions her former judgment of him. Seeking to distract Harriet without restoring her closeness to the Martins, Emma plans a brief, deliberately formal visit to their home.
