mcctrish What a ride this chapter was!!! Poor molly ( it‘s all I ever say) suffering through #notarealclare waxing on about all her grievances, worrying about Roger being ill, realizing Cynthia could care less about Roger, having the Brown Owls chastize her over Mr Preston whom she hasn‘t seen since she was at the Towers? I love that when #thebrownowls list all the things they will do, she replies “yes, do it, of course” (edited) 2d

BarkingMadRead @mcctrish that was pretty badass of Molly, actually. I was proud of her 2d

mcctrish @BarkingMadRead right? Shutting down that rant! Meanwhile stupid #notarealclare is all “I‘d rather Mr Preston came to call than these two “ OMG 2d

Cuilin For Molly being weak and “sickly looking” she can certainly shut down an awkward conversation. What letter was Cynthia hiding? 2d

eeclayton @Cuilin I was wondering about that letter, too 🤔 2d

dabbe I am so worried that Molly is going to somehow end up in the same situation as Maggie Tulliver from THE MILL, not because she's actually gone away with a man but because these gossiping biddies are going to spread that rumor, and her reputation will be ruined in this small town. WTF with these Victorian women? 😮‍💨 2d

willaful @dabbe I don't think the author is going to be that cruel to us, but who knows?

Wasn't it hard not to read onto the next chapter?! Seems like some answers may be coming. Operative word, “may.“ 😂 2d

Clare-Dragonfly Seems like #notarealclare and Mrs. Tulliver from The Mill on the Floss ought to trade daughters! Or at least trade their hair… Cynthia says she‘s almost out of her trouble so hopefully she‘s almost done paying off Preston. But what could the paying off be about?! 2d

dabbe @willaful 🩵🎯🩵 2d

Bookwormjillk I finally got a chance to read this chapter. Molly certainly held her own! Go Molly! 2d

mcctrish I‘m so happy for Molly to feel happy ❤️ Cynthia is engaged to 2 men #thattracks is she using her money to pay off his debts and keep him quiet ? 3d

Ruthiella I too am so pleased that Molly can spend some quality time with her father. The reader also feels the relief of Mrs. Gibson‘s absence. 3d

willaful @Ruthiella yes, very much so. Though I kind of hate all the kindly neighbors for not leaving them be. Again I'm reminded of Austen, this time in the way your time is not your own. 3d

Cuilin The social calls are eating into #DaddyDaughterTime @Ruthiella yes I‘m enjoying my own break from Mrs Gibson 😆 (edited) 3d

ElizaMarie That Cynthia - ugh! Her juggling men totally tracks @mcctrish 3d

dabbe #gibsongetaway #woohoo 3d

mcctrish @Ruthiella reading about #notarealclare processing how to get her way is exhausting 3d

mcctrish @dabbe the cheese and bread lunch eaten from their laps is the precursor of KD eaten from the pot ✊🏻 3d

Bookwormjillk I know what I‘m having for lunch tomorrow 🧀🥖☕️ 3d

BookmarkTavern 😂😂😂😂😂😂 3d

dabbe @mcctrish 🤩 3d

willaful I just remembered, I was so confused by Molly's mother having also been named Preston. What an odd thing for an author to do, unless it's somehow going to be relevant to the plot, but since no one even remarks on it I don't think it is. 2d

rubyslippersreads @willaful That confused me too. 2d

mcctrish Well we know #notarealclare will get her way, Cynthia‘s going to ever loving lose her shit as the circle widens regarding her betrothal, the squire will lose the family homestead for sure what with Osborne‘s poor French wife, imminent death ( I have no idea but I feel like this tragedy is going to be all or nothing) and Roger will have to marry Cynthia because everyone knows 4d

Ruthiella If you want something to be kept a secret , tell no one! Sheesh! Pretty soon everyone will know she‘s “engaged” sort of to Roger! 4d

willaful Ugh, so manipulative! 4d

dabbe #notarealclare is so manipulative! And she's so nauseatingly sweet on top of it that it makes her even more vicious! 😤 4d

Ruthiella What is this money for? Is she being blackmailed? 5d

See All 13 Comments

Cuilin Was Cynthia promised to Preston? Was there money involved? Intriguing 🤨 5d

willaful The blackmail theory is looking stronger and stronger. 5d

eeclayton Is Cynthia old enough to have a secret child? I thought she might be sending money to support a child maybe? Or is this far-fetched? 5d

dabbe @Ruthiella That's what I think! 🎯🩵🎯 5d

willaful @eeclayton oooo, interesting theory... 5d

ElizaMarie @mcctrish I agree- I think this has something to do with Preston 5d

Clare-Dragonfly I agree with everyone that this must have something to do with Preston! But what? He can‘t need money, certainly not the little bits of money that she would be able to give him. And why? So mysterious… 5d

mcctrish @eeclayton oooo 5d

rubyslippersreads @Ruthiella That was my first thought. 5d

julieclair Ooohhhh…. @Cuilin , What an intriguing thought! 🤔 4d

Cuilin @mcctrish agreed. All of the male characters are lacking in the smarts department. 6d

Bookwormjillk @BarkingMadRead maybe you should have said boys go to Jupiter to get more stupider 6d

willaful @Bookwormjillk lol! 6d

Clare-Dragonfly @mcctrish Hahahaha, yes! After reading this you‘ll want to go to Cranford where the men all die! 6d

mcctrish @Clare-Dragonfly if only we‘d read this one first, we‘d have felt so justified with every death in Cranford 6d

ElizaMarie I can't with Cynthia- ugh!!! She is the worst 6d

Bklover You‘re correct! There really isn‘t a man in this book who isn‘t a bit thick in the head. @mcctrish 5d
