mcctrish Aunt Gritty will always be Gritty to me 🧡🧡 @Clare-Dragonfly you might be on to something with Margaret 5d

ElizaMarie Kinda proud of Tom 5d

julieclair Priceless hashtags today! 🤣 4d

mcctrish What just happened? V admits to the debts he could never repay and that he isn‘t worthy of Emily AND is mad that she doesn‘t want to shackle herself to him?! He questions how long the count has been her friend? Meanwhile E has spent about 32 minutes in his actual company and expects her to marry him after whoring and gambling ? RUN AWAY EMILY 5mo

Bklover @mcctrish yes! When I think of all the weeping and fainting over V it makes me want to scream. You are right- she doesn‘t even really know him! 5mo

mcctrish It‘s nice she had him to focus on while at Udolpho but cut him loose now 5mo

BarkingMadRead @mcctrish @Bklover #accurate 5mo

Bookwormjillk At first I was kind of on V's side because yeah she just met this Count guy. But then he admitted to it all so bye V. And what is the story of the picture? 5mo

BarkingMadRead @Bookwormjillk everyone is crying 🤷🏻‍♀️ 5mo

Bookwormjillk @BarkingMadRead I meant the one that Emily's dad had that Dorethee was refusing to talk about. She is just not coming back? 5mo

BarkingMadRead @Bookwormjillk ohhhhhhhh that picture! We may never know…. 5mo

Clare-Dragonfly V keeps going “I‘m terrible and it‘s exactly like the Count says” except no one actually lays out what Emily or V is thinking. I‘d put money on V‘s actual actions not being as bad as what Emily thinks. Of course, I don‘t know whether he‘ll actually TELL HER that before they both die of old age! 5mo

julieclair If we don‘t find out about the picture, I‘m going to go nuts. I‘m warming up my book-throwing arm… 5mo

Cuilin @mcctrish “get thee to a penitentiary” lol 9mo

Cuilin A girls life hangs in the balance, but heaven forbid we let Mr. Bellingham get annoyed. 😳 9mo

IndoorDame I thought even at this time a penitentiary was a prison. Is there another meaning? 9mo

BarkingMadRead @IndoorDame I looked it up, it‘s more of a charitable institution for fallen women, it‘s basically a rehab to make them “fit for society” 🙄 9mo

IndoorDame @BarkingMadRead 😬 better than prison I guess, but we all know those places have super shady track records historically… 9mo

Clare-Dragonfly I was thinking a penitentiary must be more like a workhouse. A place for “fallen women” makes sense—a place for penitents… I‘m disappointed in my Penguin Classics edition having endnotes, but not one that explains “penitentiary.” 9mo

mcctrish @Cuilin YES! Heaven forbid the boy is annoyed 9mo

Cuilin @IndoorDame @Clare-Dragonfly it‘s giving Magdalene Laundries Scandal. 9mo

dabbe I might have to stop being ahead a day with a chapter because when I read these I'm like “Did I read that yesterday? I don't remember a miracle. Hmm. I better go back and read. Again.“ Time to stick with the correct daily chapter. My mind can't keep track of this plot for some reason. 😅 1y

BarkingMadRead @dabbe in your defense it was in like page one of the chapter and then there were devils everywhere, so it‘s no wonder you forgot 🤷🏻‍♀️ 1y

Bookwormjillk @BarkingMadRead ew 2y

dabbe Hardy did a similar stunt in FAR FROM THE MADDING CROWD with the death of an animal. I can't take that! 😢 #poorprinceindeed #lifeishardinwessex 2y

KAO This is my first book by Hardy. While I am expecting frustrating events (and no happy ending), I am enjoying the storytelling! If a dog dies, however, I may not be able to take it. (The horse was bad enough.) 2y

BarkingMadRead @KAO I really hope not! I read this a couple years ago, but details are not fresh in my mind! 2y

Clare-Dragonfly Heck yeah! Seasonally appropriate! 💀 2y

Clare-Dragonfly #poorprinceindeed 😭😭😭 @KAO I checked doesthedogdie.com and it only has movies, not books, but over all the movie adaptations there was one vote for no and none for yes. However, nobody marked yes for another animal dying, so it‘s clearly not comprehensive! 2y

currentlyreadinginCO I am wondering where Tess gets her calm and maturity... and I feel for her! And Prince RIP 😭. Very much enjoying the story so far. 2y

Bklover Poor Prince. 🐴🪦 2y

Bklover @KAO I‘m with you. No dogs die!! 2y

Crinoline_Laphroaig I'm caught up! Darcy still anti ball. 😄 2y

Crinoline_Laphroaig "he did not believe that Pemberley had really been primarily designed for giving balls in; but his family could perceive that his opposition was not intended to be very serious, and the discussion terminated with his promising to talk it over with Elizabeth, and even to consider the middle of November as being a date likely to suit the convenience of both households." 2y

willaful I don't remember Mrs. Jennings! I assume she's from Sense and Sensibility?

I wonder why the book is being so coy about Marianne. It seems a little late to bring her in and give her another husband. 2y

Ruthiella @willaful Yes, she‘s from S&S. She‘s the mother of Lady Middleton. Sir John is Mrs. Dashwood‘s cousin who provides a cottage for Mrs. Dashwood and her daughters once Fanny Dashwood convinces her husband to do nothing for his stepmother and half sisters. She‘s a little low class and makes off color remarks but truly is a kind and generous woman. 2y

dabbe Are we all hoping it'll be Price and Georgianna and Moreland and Kitty? That's what I'm hoping for! And Mrs. Jennings is still a hoot! 😀 2y

BarkingMadRead @dabbe that‘s what I‘m hoping for! 2y

mcctrish Mrs Jennings makes me think of June George “I‘m not a regular mom. I‘m a cool mom” from Mean Girls 2y
