I love this extended musical metaphor for the symphony of lyrical poetry and prose that is Shakespeare! ❤️ #HashtagBrigade #Shirley #Chapter6

Girls' trip!!!! Shirley is feeling pretty fond of Caroline and invites her away on a whirlwind trip to some Scottish lochs, and is it normal to be jealous of a fictional character from over a hundred years ago? Meanwhile, Robert continues to toy with Caroline's affections and, just, what is his DEAL?? #HashtagBrigade #CarolineGiveHimUp #GetWithShirleyInstead #TheyWereRoomates #INeedATripToScotland #WheresMyRichFriend

willaful Oh man, I was too tired to finish the chapter last night and I missed all the drama! 13h

dabbe The drama is majorly escalating! 13h

lil1inblue #forkingrobert #menbeingmen 😬 13h

lil1inblue @willaful I got the Emma vibes from the first half of this chapter. 13h

willaful I so want to reach into this book and smack Robert upside his head! #hestheworst! 13h

Bookwormjillk Robert grrrrrrr. Also Uncle grrrrrr. 12h

willaful @lil1inblue first half Emma, second half Persuasion - but Robert is no Wentworth! 12h

ElizaMarie I can't with Robert! 11h

mcctrish I think Robert is in love with Caroline 9h

BarbaraJean @mcctrish He may be, but he's being an ass about it. And I think he loves his success/a stable future more. 8h

mcctrish @BarbaraJean oh I for sure don‘t think he can handle it at all or even understands what the feeling is - no one seems to marry for love, so he‘s probably never even seen it and all the men around him are misogynists and trash talking women - he ( and by him I mean Caroline) doesn‘t stand a chance 8h

Clare-Dragonfly ROBERT!!!! Quit leading your poor cousin on! Ugh, she can‘t even get her mind back to her exciting Scotland trip. 8h

Clare-Dragonfly I hope Shirley and Caroline go to Scotland and get swept off their feet by wealthy Scottish gentlemen who marry them and leave Robert in the DUST. 8h

BarbaraJean @Clare-Dragonfly THIS. I am #TeamWealthyScottishGentlemen 4h

Ruthiella Robert is a quintessential Charlotte Brontë hero. He‘s an arrogant jerk who loves keeping Caroline hanging. I have also an idea that Mrs. Pryor is really Caroline‘s mother. She‘s still alive, right? Either that or Caroline‘s mother is rich and dies and Caroline is an unexpected heiress.? 3h

Bklover @Ruthiella That would be great!!!!! (edited) 2h

Shirley and Caroline are getting to be friends and have great talks about Yorkshire, nature, poetry, and love...but Shirley will. not. stop bringing up Robert Moore. Girl is fishing and even though I genuinely like her so far, it is so irritating. #MindYourBusinessShirl #GoWhistleAHappyTune #StayFocusedOnYourMill #WhatDoesHisLetterSay #HashtagBrigade

mcctrish This could go absolutely sideways - Robert is the most eligible of eligible bachelors - Shirley knows Caroline likes him and he potentially likes C BUT Robert would fit in nicely with her inheritance, perhaps let her be Boss Lady? Oy Vey! 1d

lil1inblue I love Shirley and Caroline's budding friendship! But I'm so nervous about the Robert of it all. 1d

eeclayton Shirley has mentionitis, not a good sign! @lil1inblue I enjoyed the budding friendship, too. 1d

willaful What is she doing, talking up the man she loves! 🤦🏻‍♀️ Or is she trying to warn Shirley?

I get why she's so sure she'll be an old maid now... apparently there literally isn't anyone else of the right social standing to marry?! (edited) 1d

willaful Anyone else getting some “Emma“ vibes? 1d

Bookwormjillk @willaful right? There‘s only Robert and not even another person to picnic with them 1d

ElizaMarie @lil1inblue me too!!! 1d

TheBookHippie @mcctrish 😅🙃 1d

Clare-Dragonfly I‘m pretty convinced now that Shirley is going to marry Robert (though she‘s totally out of his league) and doubly break Caroline‘s heart—but there‘s so much book left, anything could happen! (edited) 20h

“I shall not be married, it appears…I suppose, as Robert does not care for me, I shall never have a husband to love, nor little children to take care of. Till lately I had reckoned securely on the duties & affections of wife & mother to occupy my existence...now, I perceive plainly, I may have been mistaken. Probably I shall be an old maid.”

Alas, the trials of being 18—one romantic disappointment = destined for old maid-hood! #HashtagBrigade

At last, her big entrance!!! But before she landed on the scene, we had to deal with Caroline's continually declining health. Her uncle just noticed and assumes she has....lead poisoning?? But no need to bother about that, time to go see Shirley! #SheHasArrived #SoundTheFanfare #SheRespectsTheTrade #NotLettingHelstoneIntimidateHer #ShirleyIsABoss #NoLiterally #SheActuallyOwnsTheMill #HashtagBrigade

Ruthiella The book and Caroline both needed the breath of fresh air that is Shirley, Esquire. 2d

Patchwork: A Graphic Biography of Jane Austen | Kate Evans

Kate Evans depicts a cotton mill in Northern England at the beginning of the 19th century, just like in Bronte‘s Shirley, with the child labor…

I did not know that the children are disfigured by the work, because they never see daylight, and thus lack vitamin D…
