Jane Austen 
The Watsons 

Jane Austen’s unfinished novel “The Watsons” tells the story of a widowed clergyman and his two sons and four daughters. The youngest daughter, Emma, returns home after being raised by a wealthy aunt. Better-educated and more genteel than her other sisters, she looks on disapprovingly at the husband-hunting of two of her sisters, and relates better to her more responsible oldest sister, Elizabeth. Various would-be suitors appear, including the boorish young neighbor Lord Osborne and his arrogant friend Tom Musgrave. Austen abandoned the work in 1805, shortly after her father’s death.
