dabbe@BarkingMadRead I was looking over the chapters, and a few of them are 40-60 pages. I'm okay powering through, but I do have a modified reading schedule if anyone is interested; we'd still finish well before the end of September. Starting with tomorrow, here it is: 9/13: Ch. 5, first half 9/14: Ch. 5, second half 9/15: Book 2/Ch. 1 9/16: Ch. 2 9/17: Ch. 3 9/18: Book 3/Ch. 1, first half 9/19: Ch. 1, second half 9/20: Ch. 2 9/21: Ch. 3 ⬇️ 2mo

CuilinI can‘t remember if this is my third or fourth time reading this book, but I cannot figure out Ryder‘s father!! he just exudes sarcasm, right? Also, Cordelia is hilarious. “I can‘t spare you a whole rosary you know. Just a decade.”2mo
BarkingMadRead@dabbe I love this, thanks for figuring it out! I will make a separate post and tag everyone so that nobody misses it2mo
Ruthiella@Cuilin This is only my second time reading it. I do recall on first reading it how I thought Charles relationship was his father was sad and lonely, but on the second reading I kind of think that Ryder Sr. is doing the right thing by encouraging (in his way) Charles to live within his means (which are very generous 740 in 1925!?!!) and get him out of the house and living his own life. Plus, he likes Sebastian - later chapters will prove.2mo
mcctrishI love Cordelia! Sebastien stuttering “Charles, Charles! It‘s Mr Ryder” Cordelia “Charles, meet me ……” I‘m getting Flavia vibes! I love a precocious tween girl2mo
Cuilin@Ruthiella yeah I agree with this assessment. I do think he was trying to encourage Charles to live within his means and also to use his summer appropriately, maybe get a job and then he could afford go to the theater, etc.. plus I also think Charles though aware of his father‘s loneliness, doesn‘t write to him.2mo
I'm a Cordelia fan too. 2mo
