Ruthiella Why the about-face? What is Mrs. Gibson up to? 1mo
Lcsmcat No spoilers, but I‘ve read ahead (sorry!) and Mrs G hasn‘t suddenly developed character. 1mo

Cuilin @Lcsmcat why am I not surprised! 1mo
Cuilin @Ruthiella does she know about Osborne so she‘s moved on to the younger son, perhaps? 1mo
Cuilin It‘s nice to see Mr Hamley appreciate Roger but who tells one son the other son used to be his favorite?? #ParentFail 1mo
AllDebooks @Lcsmcat no surprises there! Scheming minx 1mo
mcctrish Roger is just doomed - only has fellowship if he doesn‘t marry but still courts Cynthia and gives all of his money to O. #hambleyofhambley has got a real thorn in his side with the French 🎶I was defeated, you won the war🎶 why can‘t he be a gracious winner ? I‘m happy he‘s proud of Roger but my heart still breaks for Molly 1mo
willaful @Cuilin The Squire is one big #ParentFail! 1mo
ElizaMarie @Cuilin ha! I thought that same :( like a backhanded complement there. 1mo

dabbe All they want to do is bitch about how much the family is ruined, yet they won't lift a finger to help--even though they have the money to do it! #beyondannoyed 🤬 3mo
AllDebooks These vile people are causing so much more angst. Jog on, ladies 😡 3mo

Bookwormjillk They‘re the worst and Mrs Tully is getting on my nerves too. 3mo

Clare-Dragonfly Mrs. Glegg is soooooooo obnoxious! 3mo
ElizaMarie The teapots!!! 3mo

TheAromaofBooks While I can't like Maggie's dad as a person (so far anyway) I do appreciate that he thinks the world of Maggie. 4mo
mcctrish I think Maggie grew up a bit today. 4mo

Clare-Dragonfly I‘m glad Maggie didn‘t get any deeper into trying to teach them than she did, or they might have gotten upset! As it is they were kind people. 4mo
julieclair @mcctrish Agreed. She learned a bit about the world. And thankfully made it home safe and sound! 4mo
Bookwormjillk I had to laugh at the idea of Maggie just running into her Dad. That must have been a shock. 4mo
ElizaMarie I love the fact that she really thought she would be fit to be Queen of the Gypsies 4mo
Morr_Books @ElizaMarie 🤣 Don't know that the thimble was enough to buy her that role. 4mo
Leftcoastzen Imagine! No tea ! How COULD someone be queen of the Gypsies & live that way ? 😁They were ultimately kind, her father was beside himself 4mo
dabbe Wonder how long Mrs. T and Tom will leave Maggie alone? 🤔 Bets, anyone? 4mo
BarkingMadRead @dabbe not long 🤣🤣 4mo

mcctrish @Bookwormjillk I was just skimming along and then “wait what?! Ludo is here?!” Truthfully I thought for sure they were banditti but then I thought they were hunters and maybe V was with them (edited) 7mo
Clare-Dragonfly Something actually happened!!! @mcctrish I also thought V would turn out to be with them. 7mo
peanutnine I was like oh now we finally get to hear what happened to Ludo! 🤦🏼‍♀️ Just kidding 7mo

Bookwormjillk 10 chapters left! 7mo
BarkingMadRead @peanutnine #obviously 🤷🏻‍♀️ this is usually the point where I would binge read the end, but I feel like I still wouldn‘t know anything, so why bother 🤣 @Bookwormjillk #hallelujah 7mo
TheAromaofBooks I gotta be honest, I freaking love Annette and her complete inability to keep a secret 😂 7mo
BarkingMadRead @TheAromaofBooks without Annette, we wouldn‘t know a damn thing 🤣 7mo
Clare-Dragonfly There doesn‘t seem to be much acknowledgement that Annette‘s husband has disappeared! 7mo
Clare-Dragonfly Linguistic note: I see that Annette has switched from calling Emily “mamselle” to “madam”! This matches up with something I noted in the book I just finished—in English, Mrs was for a long time just a title of respect for an adult woman of a certain class, even if she wasn‘t married. The Mrs versus Miss for marital status distinction wasn‘t solidified until the mid-19th century. Emily is probably Madam now that she‘s inherited. (edited) 7mo
BarkingMadRead @Clare-Dragonfly ohhhhh that‘s interesting! And poor Ludo ☠️ 7mo
mcctrish #obviously 👏🏻👏🏻🤣 7mo

mcctrish In the words of me “WTF?!” 7mo
Clare-Dragonfly So, just like with Ludo, we get the Count‘s POV when nothing interesting is going on, and then something happens and we don‘t get to know anything about it. 🤨 7mo
TheAromaofBooks Someone needs to rewrite this book except with the interesting parts actually IN THE STORY 🙄 7mo
julieclair @TheAromaofBooks Yes! And leaving out 80% of the #verdantverdure . 7mo

mcctrish Despite being long, and fainting at critical points where creepers are involved 🤦🏻‍♀️ #forfuckssakeemily this chapter has accomplished more than the entire book to day #praisebe also thank goodness ludacris checked under the saddle so E could buy a hat 8mo

BarkingMadRead @mcctrish omg the freaking hat 🙄 #priorities 8mo
Clare-Dragonfly That‘s why I called him Ludo in the first place 😂😂😂 8mo
Clare-Dragonfly And yeah, as soon as the guy wouldn‘t tell Ludo his name, I knew it wasn‘t going to be V. 8mo
Bookwormjillk I was a bit shocked it wasn‘t V myself. But then again we still have many chapters to go. 8mo
Bklover I wonder where V is? Maybe he‘s moved on! (I sure hope not after all this) 8mo
peanutnine I had a feeling the creeper wasn't V cause he would have already admitted it to Emily, he was always really frank about his stalker tendencies lol 8mo
mcctrish @Bklover he‘s still partying in Paris 8mo
julieclair @mcctrish I sure do hope you‘re wrong about partying in Paris, but my gut tells me you‘re right. 😒 8mo
