willaful Oh man, I was too tired to finish the chapter last night and I missed all the drama! 6h
dabbe The drama is majorly escalating! 6h
lil1inblue @willaful I got the Emma vibes from the first half of this chapter. 6h
willaful I so want to reach into this book and smack Robert upside his head! #hestheworst! 6h
Bookwormjillk Robert grrrrrrr. Also Uncle grrrrrr. 5h
willaful @lil1inblue first half Emma, second half Persuasion - but Robert is no Wentworth! 4h
ElizaMarie I can't with Robert! 4h
mcctrish I think Robert is in love with Caroline 2h
BarbaraJean @mcctrish He may be, but he's being an ass about it. And I think he loves his success/a stable future more. 1h
mcctrish @BarbaraJean oh I for sure don‘t think he can handle it at all or even understands what the feeling is - no one seems to marry for love, so he‘s probably never even seen it and all the men around him are misogynists and trash talking women - he ( and by him I mean Caroline) doesn‘t stand a chance 57m
Clare-Dragonfly ROBERT!!!! Quit leading your poor cousin on! Ugh, she can‘t even get her mind back to her exciting Scotland trip. 56m
Clare-Dragonfly I hope Shirley and Caroline go to Scotland and get swept off their feet by wealthy Scottish gentlemen who marry them and leave Robert in the DUST. 56m

Mehso-so

This started off well but I just couldn't get into it fully. The world building wasn't developed enough to make the world make sense. I understand that this was written for children but it leaves you with more questions than answers. I did like Badger though, he was a bit too relatable.

Shirley and Caroline are getting to be friends and have great talks about Yorkshire, nature, poetry, and love...but Shirley will. not. stop bringing up Robert Moore. Girl is fishing and even though I genuinely like her so far, it is so irritating. #MindYourBusinessShirl #GoWhistleAHappyTune #StayFocusedOnYourMill #WhatDoesHisLetterSay #HashtagBrigade

Catching up on #celebrate:
Day 1: Technically the song by Bowie was based on the Orwell book, but who am I to argue with brilliance? A politician who vehemently argues that they not only are not a politician, but would be willing to lock up and if not kill then be complicit In the murder of journalists, political opponents, engaging in regime change, .. icing on the cake? A coup against the US capitol led by someone with a Viking helmet...WWOD?

mcctrish This could go absolutely sideways - Robert is the most eligible of eligible bachelors - Shirley knows Caroline likes him and he potentially likes C BUT Robert would fit in nicely with her inheritance, perhaps let her be Boss Lady? Oy Vey! 1d

lil1inblue I love Shirley and Caroline's budding friendship! But I'm so nervous about the Robert of it all. 1d
eeclayton Shirley has mentionitis, not a good sign! @lil1inblue I enjoyed the budding friendship, too. 1d
willaful What is she doing, talking up the man she loves! 🤦🏻‍♀️ Or is she trying to warn Shirley?

I get why she's so sure she'll be an old maid now... apparently there literally isn't anyone else of the right social standing to marry?!

willaful Anyone else getting some “Emma“ vibes? 1d
Bookwormjillk @willaful right? There‘s only Robert and not even another person to picnic with them 1d
ElizaMarie @lil1inblue me too!!! 1d
Clare-Dragonfly I‘m pretty convinced now that Shirley is going to marry Robert (though she‘s totally out of his league) and doubly break Caroline‘s heart—but there‘s so much book left, anything could happen! (edited) 13h

“I shall not be married, it appears…I suppose, as Robert does not care for me, I shall never have a husband to love, nor little children to take care of. Till lately I had reckoned securely on the duties & affections of wife & mother to occupy my existence...now, I perceive plainly, I may have been mistaken. Probably I shall be an old maid.”

Alas, the trials of being 18—one romantic disappointment = destined for old maid-hood! #HashtagBrigade
