  • Being a natural social person, it is not difficult for me to make friends.

  • However there are people who find it harder to open up and welcome new friendships.

  • Sometimes these shy and reserved people are just in need of shoulder to cry on

  • a confidante, someone to listen to their problems.

  • But it's important that our purpose is to help these people, to make their lives better.

  • Not to gossip about their problems. Making them spill their secrets should

  • be for their benefit, not ours.

  • I am Emma Woodhouse and I will find out what is troubling Jane Fairfax

  • without gossiping.

  • I don't want to say that Jane Fairfax is my new project. Because that makes me sound

  • like a certain politician's future wife.

  • But she needs my help. It must be terrible to live with that burden.

  • That secrecy about everything, people gossiping and speculating about you all the time.

  • Why does Jane insist she doesn't know who sent the laptop?

  • Who sends such an expense gift without a note?

  • Is it because this person wasn't supposed to be sending gifts to Jane?

  • Emma are you ready for me?

  • Yep! Okay, time to work.

  • Tell me, how's the auction going? Did you send out the e-vites?

  • So far we have two hundred confirmed guests.

  • That's amazing!

  • And most of them replied within minutes of sending out the e-vites.

  • Mr. Churchill teased it on Twitter so they were expecting our email.

  • He's so dedicated. It's refreshing when someone shows enthusiasm for what we do here.

  • I was talking with Jane about that this morning!

  • You were talking to Jane?

  • We were getting coffee in the kitchen and I offered to help her figure out her new computer.

  • Is it wrong for me to be friends with Jane? I know you don't like her but --

  • Who said I didn't like her?

  • Well you --

  • Of course I like Jane.

  • In fact I'm trying to help her with something.

  • With what? Can I help?

  • Bring up her Twitter profile on your tablet.

  • Work, picture from a bus, work, bored at the beach...

  • Aha! Who are the Dixons?

  • Sarah Dixon is her best friend from Oxford.

  • College friends are hard to leave behind.

  • She must miss her a lot.

  • And since she's been here she's had to miss her friend's wedding.

  • She missed her best friend's wedding? Why? Why couldn't she stay in London a little longer?

  • It's not like she was doing a lot the first two months she was here.

  • She missed her aunt?

  • Maddy Bates would have been happy with a lengthy email.

  • There's something more here. She trains with the Dixons,

  • she runs a marathon with the Dixon's

  • Harriet have you noticed that she always talks about the Dixons, plural?

  • Sarah and Peter Dixon that's two people.

  • Why never anything with just Sarah?

  • Annie's married and we still do things the two of us.

  • Not lately, which I should fix, but usually.

  • Maybe she's good friends with both of them.

  • Then why not go to the wedding?

  • Oh oh, I know who sent the laptop!

  • Who?

  • Well if Jane wants to hide it I am not one to tell everybody.

  • What is Jane hiding?

  • Look who's hiding in her office.

  • Frank. You're here.

  • Of course I am. Don't tell me you already gave up on me.

  • You did flake on our photo shoot. For a haircut?

  • Best foot forward, as you always say. Can you blame me for wanting a higher bid?

  • I don't think that'll be a problem Mr. Churchill.

  • Thank you, Harriet.

  • So how's the planning going?

  • So far all of the guests on your list have already confirmed their attendance.

  • Fantastic. And did you manage to get the practical Miss Fairfax for the auction.

  • We did. When she saw that even Alex was participating, she ran out excuses.

  • Boom. Seems everything's going perfectly.

  • Isn't it Emma Woodhouse?

  • Oops, sorry. Jane needs help with her new laptop. I'll be right back.

  • Why are you smiling?

  • I'm not. Why are you smiling?

  • I am just very proud of Harriet. She learned so much

  • about computers that now she can help Jane with her new laptop.

  • So you finally got her a new computer.

  • It wasn't from us. It was a gift.

  • A gift? From whom?

  • She wouldn't say. But whoever it was knew exactly what Jane needed.

  • Is that so?

  • I wonder why they wait until now to send it.

  • Jane's been here for almost a month.

  • Perhaps they didn't know about her need for it until very recently.

  • Who could know about her need for a laptop? Who does she correspond with often enough to know this?

  • Her aunt maybe?

  • Oh, please. Even Jane admitted that Maddy couldn't afford that.

  • I think this gift came all the way from London.

  • Did the laptop say something snotty to you?

  • Does it pre-schedule a tea time?

  • Okay, you can be ridiculous if you want to but I saw it in her eyes.

  • And I know you're thinking the same thing that I am.

  • I will probably suspect the same thing

  • you suspect as soon as you tell me what you're suspecting.

  • Why did Jane leave London?

  • I understand her project there finished early.

  • And her coming here happened right

  • before her best friend got married.

  • Going away gift?

  • If it's a gift from Sarah Dixon why keep it a secret?

  • Am I sensing a scandalous story, Emma Woodhouse?

  • I'm not saying that Jane or Peter Dixon did anything wrong.

  • But they were all very close.

  • Are you sure it can't be from anybody else?

  • Those are the only friends she ever talks or tweets about.

  • Your evidence seems solid.

  • I've done my research.

  • Now I feel I need to see this amazing gift with my own eyes.

  • See if you can get anything else out of Jane.

  • I'll be back with my discoveries.

  • Okay so sometimes a little gossip isn't so bad. It's fun when you can share your findings.

  • And if you can share them with someone who offers to help you in your investigation.

  • All the better. And remember its all done for the good

  • of your new friend.

Being a natural social person, it is not difficult for me to make friends.
