ElizaMarie Mr Gibson is right—- Cynthia needs to be marred off ASAP. She creates too much drama otherwise (edited) 23h

mcctrish @ElizaMarie Mr Henderson better stay on his toes 23h

Clare-Dragonfly Henderson seems like a perfect match for Cynthia. Shallow, pretty, and persistent but not in an asshole way. Now let‘s get them married and out of Molly‘s way! 19h

dabbe @mcctrish @ElizaMarie 🎯😂🎯😂🎯 19h

dabbe @Clare-Dragonfly Time for both of them to exit stage left! 19h

willaful I'm bummed that I was wrong about Roger but I'm sure he'll get there. Cynthia is so obviously not what he thought her! 17h

rubyslippersreads @willaful Cynthia doesn‘t seem like the best wife for an intrepid explorer who will be on another continent for long periods of time. 🤣 11h

julieclair Au revoir, Cynthia. Good riddance! 2d

Bookwormjillk Is she really going to Russia or is that her time period‘s way of threatening to run away from home? Also worried Rog will marry Osborne‘s wife. 2d

AllDebooks Cheerio Cynthia, you won't be missed. Take Mama with you, please? 2d

BarkingMadRead @Bookwormjillk ugh that occurred to me as well, and I could totally see Roget doing it! 2d

mcctrish @AllDebooks yes, a 2 for 1 deal 👏🏻👏🏻 2d

mcctrish @Bookwormjillk I was worried for a moment but Roger is remembering Osborne‘s words about Molly so 🤞🏻 2d

Cuilin If Osborne cannot see the good in Molly he doesn‘t deserve her!! 2d

dabbe I think Cynthia and Henderson are PERFECT for each other. Get married, and go gently into that good night. And yes, take mamma with you. Doc Gibson won't miss her one bit. 2d

willaful Maybe it's because this chapter reminded me of An Old-Fashioned Girl, but I have a suspicion Roger has already been thinking of Molly and wants to talk to Cynthia because he needs to make sure she's really going to release him.

I also worry about him marrying Aimee, but I think the story is going to have a happy ending. 🤞 2d

Bklover @dabbe 🩵💙🩵💙⭐️⭐️⭐️ 2d

ElizaMarie I‘m sorry about Rodger and Aime 1d

mcctrish @Lcsmcat it‘s just not fair!!!! 3d

mcctrish These vague illnesses drive me insane 3d

ElizaMarie Molly better not die!!!! Ugh!!!!! 3d

Ruthiella @Lcsmcat 😂😂😂 3d

Ruthiella I do love how Cynthia comes home when she is (finally) made aware. She does genuinely care about Molly. 3d

eeclayton @Ruthiella I noticed that, too. And she's a better nurse than Mrs G. 3d

willaful Cynthia has her flaws but she know better than anyone that being tended by her mother would probably make Molly die from sheer despair. 3d

Bookwormjillk I can‘t figure out if I like Cynthia or not. 3d

dabbe The stress has finally caught up with Molly. Poor thing. 😢 3d

Clare-Dragonfly Oh yes, “Molly‘s worth is discovered” because everyone suddenly has to do without her… I do like that Cynthia rushed home as soon as she learned that Molly was really sick. 3d

Bklover @mcctrish Yes! What‘s wrong with these people and why do they get some unspecified ailment and go to bed for weeks?! 2d

mcctrish @willaful absolutely true 2d

Bookwormjillk Squire is coming around but is he planning to kidnap that baby or what? 4d

BarkingMadRead @Bookwormjillk I have zero trust in him 4d

See All 13 Comments

AllDebooks This was a tough chapter. Poor Aimee 😢 4d

mcctrish Aimee better hang on, that house needs a woman in it 4d

Cuilin @Bookwormjillk he certainly wants the boy but not his mother. Worrying. 4d

Ruthiella The assumption that Aimee will be willing to leave her child is troubling. 4d

julieclair How the Squire can just assume he has a right to keep the child and send its mother packing is beyond me. 4d

dabbe How quickly the squire can also be like, “Oh, look, it's Osborne's mini-me! I'll love him like I never loved Osborne, and we'll just forget about where is mother came from.“ Seriously, the way these people cling to their heritage and family name is infuriating! 4d

willaful @julieclair Horrifyingly, he might. In that time and place, he has everything going for him and she has nothing.

Molly is relying on her father to solve this problem but I bet he's going to let her down yet again. 4d

Lcsmcat @julieclair Legally, in that day and age, children belonged to the Father. It kept many a woman in a miserable marriage to avoid losing her kids. 😔 4d

Clare-Dragonfly Ugh, I‘m seriously disgusted with the squire for his assumption that he can just send Aimee back to France without her baby. 4d

ElizaMarie It just all makas sense to the Squire- a new Osborn. 3d

JenlovesJT47 @Jari-chan @CBee 😅 all the days run together! Can‘t believe it‘s only Wednesday! 😵‍💫 4d

JenlovesJT47 @lil1inblue the last few episodes have been some high stakes drama! So good, I‘m addicted ♥️🤗 4d

dabbe Your words remind me how much I love reading books about and during this error. Edith Wharton is my fave. 🩶🖤🩶 4d

JenlovesJT47 @dabbe I have never read any of Edith Wharton‘s books although I have a bunch of them. Which one would you recommend reading first? 4d

dabbe @JenlovesJT47 Without a doubt, THE AGE OF INNOCENCE. The #hashtagbrigade is reading this next month, if you're interested. I'm happily rereading it because it's in my top 5 of all time. We only read a chapter a day. Here's the link for more info: https://www.litsy.com/web/post/2885440

P.S. The Martin Scorcese movie starring Daniel Day-Lewis, Michelle Pfeiffer, and Winona Ryder is exquisite as well. 🩵💙🩵 4d

JenlovesJT47 @dabbe ooh yay, I can do a chapter a day! I‘ve been stressing about being behind on all of the buddy reads but that‘s doable. I‘ve already got the book. Thank you! 🤗 4d

kelli7990 I‘ve experienced my mind going blank for haiku writing before. I‘ve worried that I wouldn‘t have any haiku to post but then I end up figuring it out. My mind goes blank when I‘m writing book reviews about books I enjoy but I don‘t struggle with writing book reviews about books I don‘t like. I thought I would have the opposite problem like everyone else online because everyone I follow online has more to say about books they like and don‘t like. 5d

Bookwormjillk Whew what a 🎢 Everyone behaving as predicted and the doc is like the trains are the real problem. 5d

mcctrish I am very proud of the squire turning it around and there may have been a “no you may fucking not come with” spoken aloud to #cuntia to stay home and wallow in the brine of her own making 5d

mcctrish @Bookwormjillk 😆 5d

Cuilin @mcctrish I would love that scene included. She needs a good talking to!! 5d

Ruthiella @Cuilin Alas , I don‘t think it would stick. Mrs. Gibson is too much of a narcissist to change, I fear. 5d

dabbe @mcctrish “wallow in the brine of her own making“ = #perfection 😂🩵😂 5d

mcctrish @dabbe I got a good sleep last night ( until next door neighbour‘s car alarm went off at 6:15 am) so I‘m working with quite a few cylinders today 😆 #nottheusualhalfassedgongshow 5d

Ruthiella Is anyone surprised? I know she‘s a creature of her mother‘s neglect and she has warned us repeatedly that she‘s incapable of loving another…but still it grates a bit. 6d

dabbe She. Is. A. Piece. Of. Work. #cuntia 6d

Clare-Dragonfly What the heck? She can‘t stand anybody to know her sorry story unless she can use it to manipulate them, I guess. 6d

mcctrish I am so mad #cuntia #notclare 🤬 not that she dumped Roger - I knew that was coming but her bloody attitude 5d

willaful Hmm, am I alone in thinking Cynthia did the right thing in rejecting Roger? She knew she couldn't love him as he deserved to be loved.

Now that poor Osborne is gone, the pressure will definitely be on her to try and take it back. And Molly is going to have to say something about the baby... 5d

ElizaMarie Now Molly is gonna have to come clean about another secret she is holding on to that isn't hers!! 5d

Ruthiella @willaful No, of course she did the right thing because he needs to fall in love with Molly! 😂 But still, her not holding him as dearly as the reader and Molly do, rankles. 5d
