Wives and Daughters | Elizabeth Gaskell

willaful Ugh, Mr. Gibson making Molly lump it yet again... 2mo
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 2mo

ElizaMarie @Clare-Dragonfly she has a gift 2mo
Bklover #notarealclare seems to create drama just to entertain herself. 2mo

dabbe @mcctrish I see some major emotional explosion coming soon down the Hollingford road! 2mo
willaful Before I was getting Emma vibes, now I'm getting Mansfield Park vibes. 2mo
Bklover Osborne and Roger can be such idiots! Poor Molly! 2mo
Lcsmcat @willaful Very Mansfield Park-like! Except Molly has more spirit than Fanny. 2mo
willaful @Lcsmcat She's no Fanny but she may be just as bad at being in a love-triangle. No idea what to do at all, poor dear. 2mo

mcctrish If only Mr Tulliver would shut his mouth 4mo
Clare-Dragonfly I wonder if Maggie and Phil will get married when they‘re adults and piss off their parents. 4mo
AllDebooks Tom is a liability 🙄 4mo
dabbe A hashtag for Tom: #tomthetwerp What a jerk! 🙄

BTW, @BarkingMadRead, BEST photo ever to describe this chapter! 🤣🙌🏻🤩

BarkingMadRead @dabbe I was worried that nobody would get it 🤣 4mo
dabbe @BarkingMadRead And Monica only brought a 🥕!!! 🤣 4mo

Bookwormjillk Bye Tom 👋 The short chapters made this a good pick for chapter a day IMO. 4mo
mcctrish That chapter just went downhill fast 4mo
Leftcoastzen I feel for Tully ,where else could you borrow from than your family, yet so often used as manipulation. 4mo

Leftcoastzen Forgot to start 🙄😳 5mo
mcctrish benumbed arms - this a going to be lovely 5mo
Ruthiella The first chapter was a breeze. ❤️ 5mo
dabbe I think “moist“ was used in different forms more than once! 🤣 I love the setup to a long flashback of what happens at Dorlcote Mill on the Floss River. No dental floss here whatsoever! 🤩 5mo
Sparklemn “There is a remnant still of last year‘s golden clusters of beehive-ricks rising at intervals beyond the hedgerows…” Such beautiful writing! 5mo
Bklover So far so good! 5mo
AllDebooks This was a perfect opening, such evocative writing. 5mo
Leftcoastzen Very descriptive, I‘m interested. 5mo

Ch 26: laughing because this is what came up when I tried to google that game Laura was playing 🤣 #uncletomsvisitors #queerfishindeed #peoplewatchingFTW #thatyounghubbythough #catlady #tomgavegreatadvice #eventohimself #shortchapter #hashtagbrigade

mcctrish Best chapter yet and not the game I pictured or what I ever thought it was called 7mo

BarkingMadRead @mcctrish I‘m picturing one of those wooden boards with divots in them, and you have to try and roll marbles into the divots 7mo
mcctrish I was thinking more of the game you get in Christmas crackers made of plastic with little silver balls but of course it would be wood in these Lark Rise times 7mo
Bookwormjillk I had that game! That brings back memories of flinging things at my brother. Anyway, good chapter. Love Uncle Tom and the lady with all the cats who thought everyone was out to get her. 7mo
willaful @mcctrish That's what I'm thinking. We have (had?) a large one made with mercury, which of course isn't used anymore! 7mo
willaful So this chapter referenced Villette, which I guess is a call-out to #LiteraryCrew, which is reading it next. :-) 7mo
BarkingMadRead @willaful #hashtagbrigade read Villette a couple years back as well! 7mo
mcctrish @willaful I started Villette today on audio ( I am wondering if I should be reading it ) 7mo
tpixie Reminds me of Puff n Stuff … 7mo
tpixie @willaful fun coinkydink about Villette, just as we are about to read it! Synchronicity 7mo

Bookwormjillk Lol holding the creepy doll up to the window. This chapter reminded me of when certain neighbors turn to our listserve to be cranky about Halloween. According to them the kids never do it right. 7mo
AllDebooks Dolls really creep me out 7mo
mcctrish I love a short chapter, sucks it was ruined by the creepy doll 7mo
TheAromaofBooks I've read about May Day festivities in many old books, but I don't remember ever hearing about a doll before. 7mo

BarkingMadRead @mcctrish so frustrating! 8mo
Bookwormjillk @mcctrish I do think the whole point of this book will be we‘re supposed to forgive Val and be happy for Em when she ends up with him. 8mo
mcctrish @Bookwormjillk better a loser than being alone #amiright 8mo
Clare-Dragonfly @mcctrish You‘d think she would have learned from her aunt that a loser is NOT better than being alone! 8mo
Clare-Dragonfly Raise your hand if you didn‘t know it was Valancourt helping Theresa the moment she said she couldn‘t say who it was 🤛🏻 8mo
BarkingMadRead @Clare-Dragonfly I was torn between him and the creeper, it could have gone either way I guess 🤣 I also half wonder if it was the creeper that got shot as well 🤣 8mo
mcctrish @Clare-Dragonfly you‘d think 🤔 😝 8mo
mcctrish Ooo @BarkingMadRead maybe the creeper was shot saving Val once again 8mo

Bookwormjillk Is the count counting the tears? 9mo
mcctrish @Bookwormjillk 🤣🤣🤣 9mo
mcctrish I laughed out loud learning that the Count‘s revenge fantasy was fuelled by intel gleaned from Annette‘s “thoughtless prattle” anyone who can follow her circuitous rambling and concoct a plan deserves to succeed 9mo
mcctrish @AllDebooks so much unnecessary language 9mo
Clare-Dragonfly 😂😂😂 9mo
