LMAO, that's a good point about hashing Fanny's squee. I tend to get hyper-sensitive about religious stuff, so to me it felt a lot more like pearl-clutching than "...well there goes my fun times".

I just really like Mary, in part. She reminds me of Emma with her liveliness and wit and benign selfishness.

I don't think Maria was uncomfortable with Henry flirting with her -- I think she was uncomfortable with the reminder that she's marrying Mr. Rushworth. She likes to think about her upcoming marriage when she's reminded of the wealth she'll gain, but otherwise she seems to prefer pretending that she's single and available for Henry.
