I'm rather ashamed by how much I adore Hakim's girls. They're so well used (…er…) in the story. They're just wonderful (in their voiceless nameless way [*weeps*]).
It's been a long time since I read the later volumes, but I decided that my Emma ends at the end of vol. 2, when Emma leaves London. I felt that up until that point, it was adorable and perfect and true to the time. After that, it was mostly adorable and lovely, but not Victorian anymore. (Then again, the Jones family is a family of merchants, but… )

What are the chances that they'll release Emma, Further Tales in English? If you haven't found them as scanlations online, please do! The Further Tales don't focus much on Emma and William, but the rest of the cast. We find out what happens to Elanor, we get more Hakim and William friendship, and more Doug and Kelley. There's even an entire chapter dedicated to the Young Master's pet squirrel.

And the dancing girls are just so cute! Did you read the Yuletide story on them?

I didn't read it, no. Yuletide was a little overwhelming.
