She is a mature, headstrong 21-year-old as interested in matchmaking for her friends as she is in preserving her own single status. She takes on a young protégé, and manipulates the girl's life and the lives of others in an attempt to find a wealthy suitor that would ensure her protégé's station in life. Emma has some serious lessons to learn about society's view of class and the privileges that go with it, and the ways of love in the hearts of young people. But the lessons are learned through a lively tale filled with varied personalities and a humorous view of the age. In the end, romance takes its own course and rights all wrongs.
