Bookwormjillk The worst is right 8mo

AnnR @BarkingMadRead I recently changed my user name to @AnnR (previously, Ann_Reads). If you could please update your tag list, I'd appreciate it. Thank you. 8mo

Bklover What a horrible bunch of people. Mrs Moore (who isn‘t so bad) shouldn‘t have told her son about Aziz. 8mo

BarkingMadRead @AnnR done! 8mo

AnnR Thank you. 🙂 8mo

willaful @Bklover I think Mrs. Moore is an essentially decent person -- if too easily influenced -- who didn't realize that her son is not. 🤦🏻‍♀️ 8mo

Bklover @willaful Exactly! 8mo

AnnR @Bklover - Exactly! Surely Mrs. Moore's son will blab to other people in his 'peer' group about Dr. Aziz, especially Mr. Callendar which will cause all sorts of problems. 8mo

AnnR Chap 3: I highlighted this because it was so disturbing. Mrs. Callendar is just awful!

“—I was a nurse in a Native State. One‘s only hope was to hold sternly aloof.” “Even from one‘s patients?” “Why, the kindest thing one can do to a native is to let him die,” said Mrs. Callendar. “How if he went to heaven?” asked Mrs. Moore, with a gentle but crooked smile. “He can go where he likes as long as he doesn‘t come near me. They give me the creeps.” 8mo

BarkingMadRead @AnnR I hated that passage, so awful! What a horrible human! 8mo

mcctrish @AnnR I highlighted that too #mrscallendarsucks and I gasped out loud at Ronny running to tell the Major what Dr Aziz said #ronnyisabigbaby #tattletale and why ? “I can‘t explain it” I can #spinelessbully #majorcallendarisreginageorge 8mo

BarkingMadRead @mcctrish Regina George #deadonballsaccurate 8mo

jenniferw88 @mcctrish @AnnR the 'I can't explain it' is meant to be interpreted as 'you've just arrived in India, once you settle in you'll understand my position better'. Still not nice though! 8mo

mcctrish @jenniferw88 I‘d go one further with #thatsjustthewaythingsaredone #whoareyoutoaskwhy I hope Mrs Moore pushes back 👏🏻👏🏻 8mo

julieclair I like that Mrs. Moore challenges Ronny a bit, saying that he didn‘t used to think this way. 8mo

Crinoline_Laphroaig I'm caught up! Darcy still anti ball. 😄 11mo

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." 11mo

BarkingMadRead @Crinoline_Laphroaig so many things never change 🙄🙄 11mo

Ruthiella I love Mrs. Jennings. So happy to see her again. She has such a big heart. 11mo

Bookwormjillk Yay! A ball! 11mo

Crinoline_Laphroaig @Ruthiella and I liked Elizabeth's defense of her. 11mo

ravenlee I can picture Mrs. Jennings trying to play her game, “What letter does his name…” and Kitty rushing in “hisnameisPriceandhe‘salieutenantinthenavyandhe…” 11mo

BarkingMadRead @ravenlee 🤣🤣🤣🤣 #deadonballsaccurate 11mo

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. 11mo

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. 11mo

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! 😀 11mo

BarkingMadRead @dabbe that‘s what I‘m hoping for! 11mo

mcctrish Mrs Jennings makes me think of June George “I‘m not a regular mom. I‘m a cool mom” from Mean Girls 11mo

Ruthiella @dabbe That‘s the pairing I‘m thinking of too! 11mo

peanutnine @dabbe definitely hoping for Georgiana and Price, they are a much better match. Not sure about Kitty and Morland yet, she needs to mature a bit more first I think 11mo

rubyslippersreads @willaful I‘m wondering about Marianne too. 10mo
