mcctrish Also Cecil “when you think of me, where am I?” Lucy #inaroomwithoutaview 9mo
dabbe Instead of being on the end of the kite-string of Charlotte, she'll be on the end of Cecil's. Guess his last name says it all: Vys-->Vice. #runlucyrun 9mo
Crinoline_Laphroaig That kiss is so cringe and sus. 🤢 9mo
Clare-Dragonfly Umm, Cecil, has anyone ever mentioned to you that you‘re supposed to LIKE the person you‘re marrying? And she‘s supposed to like you, so maybe stop insulting her and her family? 9mo
Bookwormjillk Cecil yuck. And also beware of canaries 🐤🐦🐤🐦🐤🐦 9mo
dabbe Class distinctions here, class distinctions there, class distinctions everywhere! Gee, why does Lucy see you only in a room without a view, Cecil? And we all know what Lucy yearns for--a room WITH a view--if only she can cut the proverbial strings! Mr. Bebe knows this: “If Miss Honeychurch ever takes to live as she plays, it will be very exciting both for us and for her.“ That's what we're waiting for, right? #teamgeorge #georgeandlucy #byececil 9mo
Bklover @dabbe Exactly! I can‘t stand Cecil, and I‘m getting quite annoyed at Lucy too! 9mo
julieclair Wake up, Lucy! #inaroomwithoutaview is your future of you marry #CecilbadKisser . #ditchCecil 9mo
Crinoline_Laphroaig I'm a chapter behind but #CecilIsSoObviouslyGay. 9mo

Clare-Dragonfly Thanks for the visual! I thought this chapter was hilarious. They‘re all so pretentious 😂 11mo
Morr_Books @Clare-Dragonfly I agree! This chapter is hilarious! I was laughing right at the beginning when it was mentioned how much they disliked the doctor's name, Hoggins, but that Piggins would have been worse. 🤣 11mo
Ruthiella The chapter really does underscore the absurdity of class hierarchies! 😂 Certainly Mrs. Jamison enjoys being a big fish in a very small pond. And of course they ate up all the food not because they were hungry but because they were “too genteel” to point out how low class the spread was by abstaining. (edited) 11mo
Clare-Dragonfly I feel like the narrator is telling us all this in a sly whisper out of the corner of her mouth. And she occasionally bursts into giggles because she just can‘t help herself. That‘s why there are so many funerals—so she isn‘t constantly laughing. 11mo
TheAromaofBooks I was also confused about the sedan chair being in the house! I always assumed they picked people up outside like a cab?? But apparently not! 😂 11mo
Bookwormjillk i also do not approve of capital letters ff 11mo
dabbe @Ruthiella a big “snoring“ fish ... 🤣🤣🤣 11mo
dabbe I just spit out what I was drinking reading through all of this: y'all were funnier than this chapter, and that's saying something! Starting with you @BarkingMadRead ... #welldone 🙌🤩💚 11mo
