Love Found and Lost
22 January 2023
As with other episodes, this is constructed with two parallel story lines, both based on love. The first is 13 year-old Elizabeth's infatuation with the new minister, the second Miss Emily's on-going love for Ashley. The twist is that, in the former, the love is lost, due to the obvious age difference. In the latter, the love is found, through the discovery of a letter and symbol of Ashley's love for her. Really very well done all around, with an especially good job by Elizabeth's character. There is also a marked juxtaposition of the actions of Miss Emily's father in the past, with that of Elizabeth's.

In answer to the question of the piece Jason played during the daughter-father dance, it's a waltz by Chopin.
