willaful Oh man. Charles falls for Julia because she's the closest he can get to Sebastian. UGH.

Cordelia is a beam of sunshine. 💛 2mo

lil1inblue Cordelia was excellent in this chapter. ??? I also found Rex's whole "I'll just become a Catholic" thing hilarious. 2mo

Cuilin @lil1inblue that was so funny, especially with Cordelia interfering. 😆 2mo

ElizaMarie Rex doesn‘t seem to get it. I would think Julia would have been insulted that he didn‘t take the Catholicism seriously and dismissed it. Like to say he would throw money at the fact his x wife existed - he is cocky. —- oh and Cordelia is a hoot!!! 2mo

mcctrish I quite liked Rex until he went back to his mistress because Julia wouldn‘t put out - she was 20? In an era that frowned on extra marital sex AND didn‘t talk about sex to know what to expect 2mo

Clare-Dragonfly @willaful 👆🏻👆🏻👆🏻 2mo

Clare-Dragonfly Cordelia is the best. I want to say Rex and Julia deserve each other, but that might be a little harsh on Julia. The bit where she catches him with his mistress so pointedly avoids him, and then when she‘s talked into seeing him she emerges engaged, cracked me up! 2mo

ElizaMarie @Clare-Dragonfly YES !!! I was thinking she was going to “hold strong“ with her avoiding him and making him chase her to even talk to her! But... she probably knew how weak she was to him and his speeches. I felt sorry for Julia. 2mo

lil1inblue @mcctrish 🎯 🎯 🎯Exactly this! 2mo

BarbaraJean @mctrish Ugh, yes. Especially when his earlier version of it to Charles was that Julia knew about the mistress and was fine with it 🙄 2mo

Daisey This was a great chapter. Cordelia's interference was hilarious. 2mo

mcctrish Molly has no idea what‘s going on but she‘s got to leave because daddio doesn‘t like how this is playing out and he‘s mad he doesn‘t know when Molly needs new clothes I‘m not sure how much I like this man anymore 5mo

Lcsmcat I can‘t believe he waited til the last minute to tell her! Maddening! 5mo

BarkingMadRead @Lcsmcat #boysaredumb 5mo

Lcsmcat @BarkingMadRead 😂 5mo

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. 5mo

Ruthiella I‘m holding out hope she will fall in love with one of the Squire‘s sons! 🤞 5mo

quietjenn Such an overreaction 5mo

Bklover Bad Dad. 5mo

ElizaMarie Shocked but not shocked by daddy‘s reaction. Of course nobody would be good enooggh. Poor Molly seems to have no clue. 5mo

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. 5mo

mcctrish Lots of describy words is right. Honestly do we even know and like V? It seems like we went zero to 60 with this guy and it‘s only when we can‘t have him that we LLLLOOOVVVEEE him, he‘s been an obsessive from the start #redflag #alertnoisessounding this is giving extreme YA vibes 12mo

mcctrish @AllDebooks I skip all the sonnets unless they are < 4 lines #justsayno and yes Emily has been #lovebombed between V and her aunt pulling a 180° with her opinions I almost understand why she cries so much, she never gets a moment to process anything (edited) 12mo
