On October 23rd,
Miranda compares herself to Emma Woodhouse (the titular character in Jane Austen’s
Emma). Miranda finds herself admiring how Emma can turn her faults into virtues and feels that she must do the same in order to escape
Clegg. At night, Miranda writes more about
G.P. She describes the first time she brought some of her studio art for G.P. to examine. G.P. acknowledges that Miranda has a certain level of talent, but ultimately nothing impresses him. He does not think she does anything to distinguish herself from any other art student her age.
