dabbe This novel takes a Gothic turn when #tetchytully states that the river gets angry when the mill changes hands, and “there's no telling whether there mayn't be summat in the story, for this is a puzzling world, and Old Harry's the devil got a finger in it.“

More reference to the river--not in a good way. #yikes 😱 13h

julieclair A river disaster is definitely coming. And writing that curse in the family Bible for all future generations to see. Oh my! #tetchytully is tetched in the head. 🤪 8h

Bookwormjillk Someone needs to get those teapots back 1d

julieclair @mcctrish I was hoping she was going to hide one of the teapots so it couldn‘t be sold. Like bury it in the garden or something. 8h

Ruthiella Sweet of Bob to offer. And I like how Maggie realized that it wasn‘t the money so much as his friendship and reliance he was offering and which they could accept. 4d

ElizaMarie @Ruthiella ♥️♥️♥️ i agree 3d

Leftcoastzen I felt Maggie‘s pain looking at the empty spot where the bookcase used to be 😱isn‘t interesting that often people with very little offer to share what little they have while people with so much don‘t offer a thing. 3d

Bookwormjillk I can see not wanting to bail them out with money- they seem bad at that. But give the kid a job for Pete‘s sake! 4d

Clare-Dragonfly They are all so mean! I wish it had occurred to Tom to mention that he‘s good at drawing, especially things like buildings. I bet that could get him a good start. 4d

Leftcoastzen Much better to have less family than a family like this ! Poor Tom trying to do what he can while listening to Uncle belittling his education. 4d

TheAromaofBooks @Bookwormjillk - I felt the same way! I get that you don't want to hand a pile of money to people who have proven that they aren't going to use it wisely, but Tom is genuinely trying to make good and start providing for his mom and sister, and I thought it was dreadful the way his uncle just blew him off. 4d

ElizaMarie This chapter felt very current to me. It's like kiddos get an education and then can't get a job with their education. I know it's not the same, but it got me thinking about how some college courses/majors do not translate to the working world. I feel so bad for Tom - also this #TheirFamilySucks ! 3d

The Mill on the Floss | George Eliot

#WhereAreYouMonday

Apparently based on Gainsborough, Lincolnshire, I am still with Maggie Tulliver and co. in the mid 19th century reading for #HashtagBrigade . The “real river” is the Trent and it is quite imposing looking. “Floss” sounds so sweet and gentle. But the Trent is known for its dramatic flooding that can even change the course of the river.

KAO While reading this chapter, I felt a bizarre reminder of the rich patriarch of the family visiting the White Lotus resort in the latest season of this show—about how he received news that his fortune had been lost and he didn‘t want to tell his privileged family and about how tortured he was by the sheer anticipation of financial ruin… Yes, I confess having watched the whole series! 1w

BarkingMadRead @kao I just started season 1, I can‘t wait to watch all the seasons! 1w

KAO @BarkingMadRead The show is SO bizarre, but I couldn‘t resist some unique storytelling! 1w

mcctrish Truthfully I can‘t even remember what the suit was for but the fact #tetchytully owed money to so many people I‘m not sure how his plan was ever going to be more than a dream. I haven‘t watched this season of WL yet, it‘s such a bonkers show ❤️❤️❤️ 1w

ElizaMarie Oooo White Lotus! So messed up! It‘s this slow burn to chaos! “Pipper Noooo!!!” 1w

julieclair #tetchytully ‘s “always going to law” and robbing Peter to pay Paul is catching up with him big time. 1w

Clare-Dragonfly It‘s sad and all but I found it hilarious how #tetchytully hates Wakem so much that he had a (possibly literal) stroke on learning that he owes him money! (edited) 1w

KAO @ElizaMarie 😂 “You want to live in Taiwan?! Noooo!” 1w
