Ruthiella Honestly, the sub title of this novel should be “This Can‘t End Well”! 😬 (edited) 1d

mcctrish @Ruthie correct! I think Maggie took Stephen‘s breath away 🤣🤣 #whywontshelookatme #ifirowshehastolookatme #oooicantouchherhandtwice #notcreepyatall (edited) 1d

Bookwormjillk @Ruthiella lol 1d

ElizaMarie 👀 1d

julieclair @Ruthiella 😂😂Truth! Honestly, I‘m going to be so upset if he comes between Maggie and Lucy. 1d

Leftcoastzen Lots of drama could be coming up! 1d

Leftcoastzen I liked the fact that Maggie was direct about her sewing skills . She needed money , not just needlework projects for after dinner. 1d

dabbe I could just feel the electricity between those two! And Lucy just sitting there being so pretty and hoping they like each other. #oy! This can't be good, can it? And now Phil's going to come over, too? #doubleoy 22h

mcctrish I‘m glad Tom saved the day but I still can‘t stand him. I thought he‘d snuck the money in the tin. If the debts are paid doesn‘t #techytully still need a job? 5d

BarkingMadRead @mcctrish you would think! That part confused me a bit, maybe it was just excitement 5d

mcctrish @BarkingMadRead he‘s a bit rash when it comes to #snakywakey 5d

Ruthiella @mcctrish I thought too Tom would sneak the money in to the tin. And for sure, even if the debts are paid, both he and Mr. T. have to work ie, stay at the Mill or find somewhere else. So this is all very performative. 4d

mcctrish @Ruthiella right! Doesn‘t their house come with running the mill? So his debts are paid and he leaves his job and now he‘s homeless too? Mrs Tulliver is going to lose her shit! #firsttheteapotsnowthehouse (edited) 4d

eeclayton It felt to me like Tom wasn't saving the family to save the family but to bask in the glory 🫤 4d

Clare-Dragonfly I am worried now that Tom has made this big announcement but doesn‘t literally have the money that something will happen to prevent them from getting it 😬 4d

julieclair @mcctrish I had forgotten about the house being tied to the mill. Ugh…. this can‘t end well. 4d

mcctrish @eeclayton absolutely true 4d

mcctrish @Clare-Dragonfly same ( and if it was just him I‘d be cheering that plot twist on) 4d

ElizaMarie I think I had misunderstood, I had assumed they would continue to work (maybe try to buy the mill back), but that they are celebrating being in the black now. Like when we do laundry --- #LaundryIsForever :) But I agree @Eeclayton - It felt like it was just Tom being #LookWhoIsTheBest ! Since he is so full of himself! 3d

mcctrish It happened faster than I thought #maggiespeaksthetruth I wonder if Tom will actually hear and understand Maggie‘s words later on? How he is inherently mean? I pity any girl he sets his eye on ( I don‘t think Tom is wrong though that #techytully being upset with Phil and Mags would be nothing compared to #snakywakey ‘s response or how compromised Mags would be if it was known she was meeting up with a boy) 5d

TheAromaofBooks @mcctrish - That's the thing, Tom wasn't 100% wrong; I think he was actually right about a lot of what he said, but wowsers he sure is one self-satisfied, obnoxious kid. Such an uncomplicated conscience - if I do it, it's right; if I don't do it, it's wrong 😂 Poor Maggie. I was glad that she at least put the vow into her own words! 5d

Ruthiella Tom could have been more compassionate, for sure. I did like how Maggie told him off-even though it will not soak in-he is so sure of his own correctness. 5d

Bookwormjillk Yeah I was liking Tom for a while but today I was team #ShutUpTom 5d

dabbe I couldn't help but also notice that this chapter ends with Maggie actually being a wee bit glad that the secret is out in the open and that she can't see Phil anymore. Maybe she loved him but not enough. And Tom, well, maybe a new hashtag: #tommytemper? #oy
5d

Leftcoastzen Tom is so overbearing, he feels he‘s the only thing holding it all together.Poor Maggie has so few privileges or prospects because of the situation.I think she loved talking with Phil & having a little secret.Like @dabbe I think she felt relieved. She doesn‘t care for Phil enough 5d

ElizaMarie @TheAromaofBooks yes!!!! Its a whole #IAmTheONlLYRightPerson in all scenarios thing with Tom. Ugh #TomTheSelfRighteous 4d

TheAromaofBooks This chapter made me sad because it doesn't seem like there is any way that this is actually going to end up being a happy situation 1w

Ruthiella @TheAromaofBooks I share your trepidation! I feel like a cloud is hanging over everyone…lightning is coming…😬 1w

Clare-Dragonfly Sheesh, all these things they can‘t do because it would make Tom or #tetchytully mad! 1w

mcctrish @Clare-Dragonfly I‘m not sure #snakeywakey would approve either but getting them together would solve everything #gettheteapotsback 1w

ElizaMarie @TheAromaOfBooks I also thought this chapter was so sad. It sucks that Maggie and Phillip can't live their lives without their families being all butt hurt. Very #RomeoAndJuliet vibes here. Also poor girl #MaggieREAD please girl, go back to books! 1w

Leftcoastzen Made me sad too. Maggie is painfully aware of her diminished station in life ,trying to muddle through. A cloud hanging over everything, so true. Every relationship is tainted by the drama of the past. 1w

julieclair @mcctrish You are seriously cracking me up with your #TeapotCrusade ! 😂😂😆😘 7d

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! 2w

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. 2w

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. 2w

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. 2w

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 ! 2w
