Emma!

Emma!

Emma?

Emma!

Come on! We're late for chores.

Come on.

- Were you reading a magazine? - No.

Look, I don't see why it's such a big deal.

You know it's not right.

You're the older sister, Emma. You're supposed to set an example.

I'm trying. I'm trying.

- Hello! - Hey there.

- Emma! - What? I was just saying hello.

To an Englischer! You have Jacob to say hello to now.

Yes, and he would say...

...'Hello, Emma. How are you today?

I hope you are well. I, too, am well.

Such lovely weather we're having today. What did you say?'

You're lucky he has feelings for you.

Jacob is a good man.

Well, I hope you find such a man for yourself one day, Abby.

- I've put supper on the table! - Coming, Mom.

Coming, Mom!

'A lady's imagination is very rapid.'

'It jumps from admiration to love, from love to matrimony in a moment.'

'There is a stubbornness about me that never can bear to be frightened...

...at the will of others.

My courage always rises at every attempt to intimidate me.'

Emma?

Uh...

...yeah, Dad.

It's late. Your mom will wonder what's become of you.

Sorry, Dad. I... lost track of time. I'll come in now.

You're not a little girl anymore, Emma.

You don't have to sneak down here to read your book.

You knew about that?

I know my daughter.

- Well, you never said anything. - And what should I say?

That you must behave the same as your sister?

I have known since you were very young that... you are different.

I try to fit in, Dad.

To be like everyone else. I really do.

I don't know what's wrong with me.

Different is nothing to be ashamed of.

Different is... is different.

You cannot be who you are not.

We are blessed with a wonderful life.

And before long, God willing, yours will be even better...

...when Jacob asks you to be his wife.

I don't know if I want to marry Jacob.

Even if he asks, I...

What should I do, Dad?

Your cousin Lydia-Ann has written us a letter.

How is she?

She wants someone to come to Charm to work on the farm.

It's the top of the tourist season.

You would be doing her a great kindness...

...to travel to Ohio and work by her side.

And leave Shipshewana?

When I look at you, Emma, it's like you're about to burst.

Always questions...

...always doubts.

This is not the life I wish for you.

But...

...I'll be so far away from you and Mom, and Abby.

What answers you'll find there, I know not.

But perhaps the journey will help you reach a very...

...important decision.

We will pray for your safe return.

Thank you, Dad.

And what of Jacob?

Yeah.

Good morning, Jacob.

Hello, Emma. How are you today? I hope you are well.

I am well, Jacob. And you?

I, too, am well. Thank you for asking.

It's such lovely weather we've been having, wouldn't you say?

Yes, it's... very lovely.

Bye, Jacob.

We need to talk.

I don't understand.

Doubts?

About what?

Everything.

About me?

- Why didn't you tell me? - Because I thought it would go away...

...but it hasn't. And I feel that it never will, unless I do something about it.

- So you're leaving? - Just for the fall...

...to help my cousin in Charm and to have time to think.

I have something I wish to tell you, too.

What is it?

I have decided to...

...to join the Church.

Jacob, I...

...I'm so happy for you.

When I do, I will be ready to take a wife...

...and she, too, must be a member of the Church.

Yes.

You know how I feel about you, Emma.

We could have a good life here.

Build a house...

- ...raise a family. - Jacob, I...

I believe in you, Emma.

You're a smart girl.

You will make the right decision.

Have a pleasant journey.

Emma?

Emma Miller, Lydia-Ann's cousin?

Yes, I'm... I'm Emma.

Hi. I'm Noah Weaver. She asked me to meet you here.

- How was your trip? - It was fine, thank you.

Good.

- Let me take these for you and... - Oh, that...

- ...give you a ride to the farm. - Thank you.

This way.

First visit to Charm?

Uh... I came once with my family, but it was a really long time ago.

It probably hasn't changed much, except for the tourists.

- There seem to be more each year. - That's why I came...

...to help my cousin with her farm during the busy season.

That's very kind of you.

You know, I could... I could show you around town, if you'd like?

Help you get the lay of the land.

Well, thank you, but...

...I like to find my own way.

As you wish.

So you're a friend of Lydia-Ann's?

Levi, her husband, is my cousin.

More like a brother, really.

It must have been really hard for you when he passed.

Yeah, it was... quite a bit harder for Lydia-Ann and Mary.

Their farm's bigger than most, so I try to help out as much as I can.

Well, that's very kind of you.

- Oh, I... I can get it. - Here you go. I got it.

Noah! Noah! Noah!

- How are you, sweetie? - Hi! You must be Mary. I'm Emma.

I have something for you.

There you go.

- Oh. - I'll call her Molly.

- Oh, that's a good name. - You just made a friend for life.

Welcome, Emma. It's so good to see you.

You, too. Oh, and I have something for you as well.

I make it myself. It's goat cheese.

Very unique! I'm impressed.

I have dinner prepared. You both must be hungry from your journey.

Come on inside, Noah. Please join us.

That's very kind. Thank you.

'A person may be proud without being vain.'

'Pride relates more to our opinion of ourselves...

...vanity to what we would have others think of us.'

I don't think that's a good idea.

Why not?

It's almost dark...

- ...you may strain your eyes. - Oh.

Well, I'm fine. Thank you.

Pride and Prejudice.

Elizabeth and Mr. Darcy.

Though... I prefer her first novel, Sense and Sensibility.

Do you know it?

Uh... no, I... I don't.

The vivid contrast between Elinor and her younger sister.

Reason and restraint versus passion and spontaneity, it's...

...it's quite intriguing.

There's a copy at the library... right downtown. I'd...

...be happy to show you.

I think I can find it myself, but... thank you.

Right.

Well...

- Good night, then, Emma. - Mm-hm.

I'm so glad this came in. I've been wanting to read this for months!

Your books are due back two weeks from today. Thank you.

Oh, not again.

Oh, look out!

- Oh! Sorry. - Are you all right?

Yeah.

I'm sorry. I didn't mean to startle you.

No, I'm sorry, too.

Uh... here's your picture phone.

Thanks.

It's a lovely picture. Is that your boyfriend?

The day he asked me to marry him.

Oh! Well, congratulations!

Oh, no, no. I... I called it off. It's over. He doesn't get it.

Oh. Well, it says he still loves you.

Thanks.

High school, college, our parents, all of our friends...
