Morr_Books I like Peter, but I feel like I can't let myself get attached to any male characters, so I am cautiously hopeful he is alive. 11mo
dabbe I'm getting to the point in the story now where I want to know more about the narrator! Alas (using some genteel language here), it seems she will only be destined to be the #cranfordchronicler and nothing else. I'm also coming to care quite a bit about Miss Matty. 11mo
BarkingMadRead @Morr_Books I know! Being a dude in this book is not healthy! 11mo
Ruthiella Poor Miss Mattie. To lose her brother, then her parents. 😢 11mo
Clare-Dragonfly I suspect Peter will return in the next chapter to profess his love for a woman he was attached to in his youth, and then die. 11mo
Bookwormjillk This is wrong but I laughed when he threw the pillow baby. 11mo
Clare-Dragonfly I wonder how Matty knows what kissing sounds like. 🤔 11mo
Bookwormjillk @Clare-Dragonfly ohhhhhhhhhh 11mo
Ruthiella @Clare-Dragonfly Good point! 😳 11mo
willaful @Bookwoemjillk I think Donald Westlake borrowed the poor pillow baby for one of his books, Castle in the Air IIRC.

@Clare-Dragonfly 😂😂😂

And I gotta hand it to Miss Matty, she put a lot more effort into getting pronouns right than many people do today. 😁

Clare-Dragonfly @willaful Yes, I appreciated her pronoun use! 😆 11mo
