Mrs. E will wipe the smile off anyone’s face!
I’ll agree with you as long as “Mrs. E” is Mrs. Elton rather than Mrs. Ellen. 😉
Remember how Emma criticized her silently for calling her husband Mr. E all the time? There’s only one Mrs. E when it comes to Emma!
Yes, I remember. Of course Mrs. E is Mrs. Elton. She’s Mr. E’s Cara Sposa!
