AllDebooks Can you imagine how suffocating it must have been to live with someone like that? Molly needs to get away. 5d
Bookwormjillk I know I say this every day but today I really might just have to keep reading. 5d

ElizaMarie @AllDebooks yes!!!! That woman is a narcissist and insufferable!!!! I just can‘t! 5d
BarkingMadRead @Bookwormjillk @ElizaMarie I finished it last week 🙈 5d
Bookwormjillk @BarkingMadRead the only thing keeping me from finishing was a family reunion last week, but I'm back now. It's only a matter of time. 5d
julieclair I think a little jealousy is good for Roger! 5d
Cuilin @ElizaMarie I finished it last week also. 5d
rubyslippersreads @ElizaMarie @Bookwormjillk I couldn‘t resist finishing either. 5d
mcctrish @Bookwormjillk I‘m ready to wrap this up !!! @julieclair we‘ve had enough dilly dallying with Roger, if jealousy gets him going then pile it on 5d
Bookwormjillk @julieclair I agree- let him see what he might miss out on. 5d
dabbe @BarkingMadRead #ditto 😂🎯😂 4d
dabbe @Bookwormjillk 🎯🩵🎯 He deserves to suffer a wee bit more for not choosing Molly to begin with. 4d
Bookwormjillk @dabbe fair- a couple more chapters at least 4d
Lcsmcat @ElizaMarie Me too! 4d
Lcsmcat @dabbe True! 4d
Bklover I finished it too. 4d
Clare-Dragonfly I kept giggling at the conversation between #notgoodenough and #notarealclare. They were both working so hard to make sure they were right! 4d

Bookwormjillk Whew what a 🎢 Everyone behaving as predicted and the doc is like the trains are the real problem. 2w
mcctrish I am very proud of the squire turning it around and there may have been a “no you may fucking not come with” spoken aloud to #cuntia to stay home and wallow in the brine of her own making 2w

Cuilin @mcctrish I would love that scene included. She needs a good talking to!! 2w
Ruthiella @Cuilin Alas , I don‘t think it would stick. Mrs. Gibson is too much of a narcissist to change, I fear. 2w
dabbe @mcctrish “wallow in the brine of her own making“ = #perfection 😂🩵😂 1w
mcctrish @dabbe I got a good sleep last night ( until next door neighbour‘s car alarm went off at 6:15 am) so I‘m working with quite a few cylinders today 😆 #nottheusualhalfassedgongshow 1w
Clare-Dragonfly #notarealclare continues to be the WORST! Oh yeah, she doesn‘t want anyone in her family accused of gold-digging… she needs to have that all to herself… 🙄 1w

Cuilin Worried about Osborne. I wonder if he has a son ( next in line to inherit) hmm? And Cynthia is so disappointing!! 3w
ElizaMarie The urge to read tomorrows‘s chapter is strong—- I do work tomorrow so that might be my excuse 3w

mcctrish I‘m worried about Osborne, I‘m worried about Molly, I‘m worried about Roger. I am not worried about Cynthia, I am not worried about Preston, I am not worried about #notclare they can ROT! I need Molly to tell her father everything so she has someone in her corner when this all blows up in her face because I know 3 people who will just look the other way #tsktsking #poormotherlessgirl 3w
AllDebooks Confession - I have zero willpower. I read ahead just a few chapters, so I thought. No, Debs, you've finished it. 🙈 3w
dabbe @AllDebooks Your restrain in not clueing us in is beyond admirable! 🙌🏻💙🙌🏻 2w
Cuilin @dabbe @alldebooks so tempting!!! 2w
Cuilin @mcctrish yes. I have all the worries too. 2w
Bklover @AllDebooks It‘s so hard to stop! 😬 2w
Bookwormjillk I was behind so read two chapters today. But what if I fall behind again tomorrow? Surely one more won‘t hurt… 2w
willaful Of course Molly can't tell her father because she promised Cynthia... ARGH! 2w
Clare-Dragonfly Gah. I have been mostly sympathetic towards Cynthia but she is being so manipulative! My patience is growing thin. I wonder if she‘s going to up and marry this Henderson guy? But I would be less than surprised if #notarealclare were wildly exaggerating his feelings. 2w
Bklover I thought it was interesting how Cynthia got the letters back! I thought that it would drag on for a while longer, at least. 2w

mcctrish What a ride this chapter was!!! Poor molly ( it‘s all I ever say) suffering through #notarealclare waxing on about all her grievances, worrying about Roger being ill, realizing Cynthia could care less about Roger, having the Brown Owls chastize her over Mr Preston whom she hasn‘t seen since she was at the Towers? I love that when #thebrownowls list all the things they will do, she replies “yes, do it, of course” (edited) 3w
BarkingMadRead @mcctrish that was pretty badass of Molly, actually. I was proud of her 3w

mcctrish @BarkingMadRead right? Shutting down that rant! Meanwhile stupid #notarealclare is all “I‘d rather Mr Preston came to call than these two “ OMG 3w
Cuilin For Molly being weak and “sickly looking” she can certainly shut down an awkward conversation. What letter was Cynthia hiding? 3w
eeclayton @Cuilin I was wondering about that letter, too 🤔 3w
dabbe I am so worried that Molly is going to somehow end up in the same situation as Maggie Tulliver from THE MILL, not because she's actually gone away with a man but because these gossiping biddies are going to spread that rumor, and her reputation will be ruined in this small town. WTF with these Victorian women? 😮‍💨 3w
willaful @dabbe I don't think the author is going to be that cruel to us, but who knows?

Wasn't it hard not to read onto the next chapter?! Seems like some answers may be coming. Operative word, “may.“ 😂
3w
Clare-Dragonfly Seems like #notarealclare and Mrs. Tulliver from The Mill on the Floss ought to trade daughters! Or at least trade their hair… Cynthia says she‘s almost out of her trouble so hopefully she‘s almost done paying off Preston. But what could the paying off be about?! 3w
dabbe @willaful 🩵🎯🩵 3w
Bookwormjillk I finally got a chance to read this chapter. Molly certainly held her own! Go Molly! 3w

mcctrish I‘m so happy for Molly to feel happy ❤️ Cynthia is engaged to 2 men #thattracks is she using her money to pay off his debts and keep him quiet ? 3w
Ruthiella I too am so pleased that Molly can spend some quality time with her father. The reader also feels the relief of Mrs. Gibson‘s absence. 3w

willaful @Ruthiella yes, very much so. Though I kind of hate all the kindly neighbors for not leaving them be. Again I'm reminded of Austen, this time in the way your time is not your own. 3w
Cuilin The social calls are eating into #DaddyDaughterTime @Ruthiella yes I‘m enjoying my own break from Mrs Gibson 😆 (edited) 3w
ElizaMarie That Cynthia - ugh! Her juggling men totally tracks @mcctrish 3w
mcctrish @Ruthiella reading about #notarealclare processing how to get her way is exhausting 3w
mcctrish @dabbe the cheese and bread lunch eaten from their laps is the precursor of KD eaten from the pot ✊🏻 3w
Bookwormjillk I know what I‘m having for lunch tomorrow 🧀🥖☕️ 3w
BookmarkTavern 😂😂😂😂😂😂 3w
willaful I just remembered, I was so confused by Molly's mother having also been named Preston. What an odd thing for an author to do, unless it's somehow going to be relevant to the plot, but since no one even remarks on it I don't think it is. 3w
rubyslippersreads @willaful That confused me too. 3w

mcctrish Well we know #notarealclare will get her way, Cynthia‘s going to ever loving lose her shit as the circle widens regarding her betrothal, the squire will lose the family homestead for sure what with Osborne‘s poor French wife, imminent death ( I have no idea but I feel like this tragedy is going to be all or nothing) and Roger will have to marry Cynthia because everyone knows 3w
BarkingMadRead @mcctrish 💯💯💯 3w

Ruthiella If you want something to be kept a secret , tell no one! Sheesh! Pretty soon everyone will know she‘s “engaged” sort of to Roger! 3w
willaful Ugh, so manipulative! 3w
dabbe #notarealclare is so manipulative! And she's so nauseatingly sweet on top of it that it makes her even more vicious! 😤 3w
ElizaMarie @dabbe she is the worst!!! 3w
dabbe @ElizaMarie 🎯🩵🎯 3w

willaful Ugh, Mr. Gibson making Molly lump it yet again... 4w
mcctrish I just feel so bad for Molly and her dad, I‘m not sure they even realized they needed to watch for this conniving drama but papa seems to fit right in “you aren‘t the only one who can change their mind” #bitchplease 4w
