Did Mr. Knightley
have an attraction to Jane Fairfax, because it sure seemed like he was, especially when she played the piano.
Be kinder than necessary, for everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle.
No, he was in love with Emma. He just enjoyed Jane's piano playing. Not surprising since she was a better musician than Emma .
He looks like what happens when you punch a cow!share
As he mentioned elsewhere, he admired all of her accomplishments, and no doubt thought her a pretty woman. But for us old farts, that's usually as far as it goes when young women are concerned :).
Seriously, I suspect that he also felt a certain sense of poignant sadness, as he recognized that a woman with her superior talents was destined to the governess trade.
