Clare-Dragonfly Sheesh! What a controlling hypocrite! I suppose I understand his desire to keep Molly close as long as possible but it ain‘t going to work. BTW, I figured one of the apprentices was in love with her, and I‘m relieved it‘s the smart one. 1w

Ruthiella I‘m holding out hope she will fall in love with one of the Squire‘s sons! 🤞 1w

quietjenn Such an overreaction 1w

Bklover Bad Dad. 1w

ElizaMarie Shocked but not shocked by daddy‘s reaction. Of course nobody would be good enooggh. Poor Molly seems to have no clue. 1w

julieclair I was really surprised at the father‘s overreaction. Firing the maid, sending Molly away with no warning, raking Coxe over the coals. Too much. 1w

AllDebooks This is grinding my gears now. Maggie should tell them all to feck off. She should ask Tom for a small allowance and get gone to a new life with found family and better friends. 3w

BarkingMadRead @AllDebooks for real! 3w

dabbe It's hard to believe, but if only Maggie had gone through with the elopement with Stephen, she would have caused less damage, and Philip and Lucy would have eventually moved on with their lives. Now that Maggie is determined to stay in town, she is making it impossible for Stephen to have a possible reconciliation, either with herself or with Lucy. Moreover, her presence in town will keep the wound open in Philip's heart. 3w

Clare-Dragonfly I don‘t love Philip telling her he would have committed suicide if he didn‘t love her so much. Keep that to yourself, my man. I‘m glad you had something to hold onto but don‘t make Maggie feel guilty. 3w

Leftcoastzen Maggie can‘t get a break. It was a lovely letter, everyone seems stuck cuz Maggie is stuck .😞 3w

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 6mo

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! 6mo

mcctrish It‘s nice she had him to focus on while at Udolpho but cut him loose now 6mo

BarkingMadRead @mcctrish @Bklover #accurate 6mo

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? 6mo

BarkingMadRead @Bookwormjillk everyone is crying 🤷🏻‍♀️ 6mo

Bookwormjillk @BarkingMadRead I meant the one that Emily's dad had that Dorethee was refusing to talk about. She is just not coming back? 6mo

BarkingMadRead @Bookwormjillk ohhhhhhhh that picture! We may never know…. 6mo

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! 6mo

julieclair If we don‘t find out about the picture, I‘m going to go nuts. I‘m warming up my book-throwing arm… 6mo

Cuilin A girls life hangs in the balance, but heaven forbid we let Mr. Bellingham get annoyed. 😳 10mo

IndoorDame I thought even at this time a penitentiary was a prison. Is there another meaning? 10mo

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” 🙄 10mo

IndoorDame @BarkingMadRead 😬 better than prison I guess, but we all know those places have super shady track records historically… 10mo

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.” 10mo

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

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
