But over the next few years, just a handful of letters survive.
It is time to make like Hilaria Baldwin explaining her own biography and take some liberties!
Em writes only to Sue.
But she writes alot.
Poem after poem after poem piled up in that basket.
Is her beloved/sister-in-law reading them?
God, I hope so.
Apparently all this writing is messing with Ems eyesight.
Shes supposed to sit in dim rooms and avoid the sun.
Em, on brand as ever: I dont need the sun.
I still have the moon.
Em returns home from this stay at the doctor by way of the train.
Her dad complains that three days at the doctor cost the equivalent of a trip to Europe.
Austin isnt exactly on top of his financial situation.
You write all the time these days.
See, thats why I dont want my family members to follow me on social media.
My content is for strangers, who get me.
While on the train, Em has a little hallucination, which is something the doctor warned about.
Hes … the start of what will become one of her most iconic poems: Im nobody.
and Em rushes to her room to write.
Vinnie, however, wouldnt miss it, because Sue is a certified influencer now.
Mama Dickinson (sorry, but everyone has the same names!
She isalsoEmily) complains that her husband is so frugal that they have to take on a boarder.
Like this guy looks a lot like Austin, no?
Sort of Shawn Mendesy.
Live your best life, Vinnie!
(Shouldnt we wait until marriage?
Shut UP, Henry!)
Shipley arrives with Vinnie in tow and tells everyone that they are engaged to be engaged.
He talks about how cheap tobacco is in New Orleans, and shes like, Thats because of slavery.
She also has a baby.
Upon learning the origin of Sues dress, Jane promptly faints (from shock and/or for the attention).
At home, Em spills ink and … discovers finger-painting?
Interesting choices as always, Em!
Sue says, with so much sincerity it could break your fragile heart, that she loved them.
The new ones are beyond.
Reading them, its like my heart almost explodes.
Sue cannot bear to be Ems only reader anymore.
Would attention really be so wrong?
In walks Sam Bowles.
He is scruffy, with that same longish brown hair as all the other young men weve met.
Like I said: The casting department has a jot down.
Youre interesting, he asserts.
Sam is the bold thinker who made his paper a daily when it was once a weekly.
Move fast and break stuff, he says.
Fun fact: Thats actually how I write these recaps!
Typical Emily Dickinson, says Jane.
Toshiaki, one of the Jane sycophants, sums up the whole series: Shes alot.
