Frank’s Christmas Letter

A Jane Austen take on gold, frankincense, and myrrh, this festive soap is inspired by a particularly tantalizing letter Frank Churchill writes to his father in Emma. Mr. Weston shares it at the Christmas party but Emma cannot get rid of Mr. Elton long enough to hear it.

Scented with frankincense and myrrh and topped with gold glitter, this Jane Austen Christmas soap is warm, sweet, and exotic. The parallel ridges atop the soap are akin to the lines of the letter.

“She heard enough to know that Mr. Weston was giving some information about his son; she heard the words “my son,” and “Frank,” and “my son,” repeated several times over; and, from a few other half-syllables very much suspected that he was announcing an early visit from his son; but before she could quiet Mr. Elton, the subject was so completely past that any reviving question from her would have been awkward. Mr. Elton’s civilities were dreadfully ill-timed…When happily released from Mr. Elton, and seated by Mr. Weston, at dinner, he made use of the very first interval…to say to her, “…I believe you did not hear me telling the others in the drawing-room that we are expecting Frank. I had a letter from him this morning, and he will be with us within a fortnight.” ~ Emma, by Jane Austen.
