‘But will she marry? What is there to tempt her?’ I asked, as George climbed onto my knee. ‘She is already the mistress of her father’s house. She has her nephews and nieces to interest her. She even has a little Emma named after her,’ I said, looking at the baby. ‘I sometimes wonder what is to become of her.’
‘Come, George, this is a dim view of things. Emma will fall in love and marry, as we all do. She is only twenty years old, she has plenty of time. She is not averse to matrimony, after all.’
‘Very true,’ said Isabella loyally. ‘She is in favour of it. It was she who arranged the match between Miss Taylor and Mr Weston.’
‘That is exactly what I mean! She is full of her own importance, and you do nothing to bring her back to reality. She fancied herself a matchmaker, and instead of telling her she was talking nonsense, you all agreed.’

This is fabulous news! I loved Mr. Darcy’s Diary and I’m eagerly looking forward to reading Mr. Knightley’s version of his romance with Emma.
