mcctrish @dabbe is it the time period? I did care but it‘s getting harder 2d

dabbe @mcctrish Maybe. It's also the absence again of a plot. I mean, it's a bildungsroman about Maggie and Tom growing up, but have a driving plot line, please! 🤣 2d

julieclair @ElizaMarie You called it! Flesh wound! 🎯 2d

ElizaMarie Not that I want something bad to happen -- but... something happening might be cool, so #FingersCrossed someone gets a little flesh wound? 3d

Clare-Dragonfly I am worried that someone will get hurt! 3d

eeclayton @ElizaMarie I agree. While I enjoy the character studies, I would love for something to happen already. 2d

ElizaMarie @eeclayton YES!!! I am glad I am not the only one! 2d

Leftcoastzen Made me think of my parents “ hey put that down, you‘ll poke your eye out!” Or in this case , cut your arm off ? Funny/not funny 2d

mcctrish @ElizaMarie while I might have said “oh FFS Mr Poulter that was stupid” you aren‘t wrong about wanting to have something happen. @Bookwormjillk can‘t see this going right 2d

@Eggs (thanks for the tag! 😍)

1. I still can cry over BREAKING THE CHAIN: THE GUARD DOG STORY: a comic book by Patrick McDonnell, the creator of MUTTS. So poignant!
2. The tagged: THE MYSTERIES OF UDOLPHO. #ugh I couldn't even get through this one with the #hashtagbrigade! That's really saying something! 🤣

Eggs Not familiar with either one ☝️ Thx for joining in 💖 3d

mcctrish School days are going to be more pleasant now 4d

dabbe I just despise the derogatory terms used against poor Phil and his back. I know those were the words, but still ... in the #ShardlakeBR series, the lawyer, Shardlake, calls himself a hunchback as does pretty much everyone else--even Henry VIII in an extremely volatile way. #peoplecanbesocruel 4d

Clare-Dragonfly I hope they become friends and Philip helps Tom with his Latin and drawing! I like Philip, but that‘s probably because I was a shy, bookish kid like him… and because him having a hunch due to a childhood accident makes me think of Mr Benson, the minister from

Ruth: a novel

(edited) 4d

BarkingMadRead @Clare-Dragonfly I was thinking of him as well! 4d

ElizaMarie I‘m so confused about the point of this book!? 4d

BarkingMadRead @ElizaMarie is there one?!? 🤣🤣 4d

Bookwormjillk @ElizaMarie it might be a Lark Rise type book with no point. At least that‘s what it reminds me of. 3d

Leftcoastzen I like that they may find some common ground. Tom really admires Philips drawing skills. 2d

julieclair @dabbe I agree. The derogatory terms just make me sad. They were so widespread and just accepted as normal. 2d

Bookwormjillk @dabbe #tetchytully because it makes me think of the Teletubbies which adds something to the book 5d

dabbe @Bookwormjillk @BarkingMadRead I think it's more fun-sounding out loud, too! 🤣 It could even sound like #touchytully! 5d

Clare-Dragonfly @Bookwormjillk Yup 😂 5d

mcctrish I love it #tetchytully he always has a bee in his bonnet 5d

ElizaMarie Oooo love this @dabbe 4d

dabbe @ElizaMarie @BarkingMadRead @Bookwormjillk @mcctrish #tetchytully it is! 🤣🤣🤣 4d

Leftcoastzen I just feel Tully is always upset because he‘s not rich , he has just enough money to worry about it . Diverting water from the mill threatens his livelihood. He doesn‘t have enough money to be connected as to advice, is this a good educator? Is this a good lawyer. 3d

KAO Whew. That chapter was rather long and somewhat tedious (though I liked the bit of life reflection in the last lines). Maybe the feeling that this chapter would never end parallels Tom‘s feeling about this long and tedious academic term. 6d

TheAromaofBooks I actually found myself liking Tom for the first time in this chapter. 6d

Bookwormjillk I‘ll admit it. It‘s Monday. I skimmed. 6d

ElizaMarie Tom can‘t ever let Maggie have any props 6d

Morr_Books I wish I had learned more languages when I was younger, but Latin was never one of them 5d
