ElizaMarie Its so sad they were willing to sell out their kind of people for $. Totally makes sense that people act in desperation when they are hungry. It's so heart breaking though. But I'm glad the dance went odd without a hitch. 7d

Clare-Dragonfly I‘m so proud of Marian for being so proactive and brave. The Count is so evil! I‘m worried about what will happen to Anne 😬 He keeps finding things Marian has written and not destroying or messing with them even if that would be the smart thing to do… because he‘s so diabolical he thinks he‘ll get away with it anyway! I hope he doesn‘t! 9mo

Clare-Dragonfly Any guesses on #percypig‘s Secret? I wonder if he isn‘t really who he says he is… maybe a bastard or the product of an affair? 9mo

BarkingMadRead @Clare-Dragonfly ohhhhhh I wonder! Because Anne‘s mom knew the secret first! I can‘t wait to find out 9mo

mcctrish #percypig #countporkchop #countessdeadeyes what a trio of terror 9mo

ElizaMarie Cringy! #DontWriteInMyJournal 9mo

ElizaMarie I wonder if somehow Percy is related to Anne? Or had impregnated her? Ahhh I need to know how damaging this secret is!? Its got to be juicy with all this talk of murder! Oooo maybe they know Percy murdered someone (Ann‘s daddy?) 9mo

Leftcoastzen Greedy & creepy they are ! 9mo

Leftcoastzen 😂👏 9mo

Bookwormjillk Super stressful 9mo

Leftcoastzen I was hoping they might be able to get a letter out & get a response. #Countporkchop keeps a close eye on things , I know novels of this era draws things out , but I‘m yelling at the book if there is a secret , tell Laura & Marian NOW!😄 9mo

mcctrish #countporkchop is the mastermind! How much money does #percypig owe him? I loathe the countess, Ann is the hero 9mo

Clare-Dragonfly How exciting! I wanted to cheer when Laura wouldn‘t sign the paper without reading it. She learned something from Emily! 😂 I‘m glad #countporkchop only read Marian‘s letter—I was afraid he would have tampered with it. 9mo

ElizaMarie #WhatIsTheSecret !? I need to know! The suspense keeps building up! 9mo

julieclair So much suspense. #bitingmynails I was surprised #Countporkchop didn‘t just destroy the letter after reading it. 9mo

julieclair @mcctrish Yes to everything you said! 💯 9mo

dabbe I can't stop laughing at the #percypig, #countporkchop and #countesscoldeye hashtags! 🤣 9mo

BarkingMadRead @dabbe they take up so much space but it‘s so worth it 🤣🤣🤣 9mo

willaful Man, what a depressing chapter. I hope Esther is going to get some help but I kind of doubt it. :-\ 9mo

BarkingMadRead @willaful I‘m worried that she will think she doesn‘t need it 9mo

Deblovestoread Mrs. Kravitz! 9mo

Clare-Dragonfly @BarkingMadRead Same! Or that the shrink will be terrible… 9mo

Bookwormjillk I‘m with you all hoping she gets the help she needs. 9mo

tpixie @Deblovestoread 😝 @BarkingMadRead Mrs Kravitz!!! 🧙 I LOVED Bewitched 9mo

willaful @Clare-Dragonfly I think it's almost guaranteed that the shrink will be terrible. 😞 9mo

Deblovestoread I loved Bewitched, too! @tpixie I was glad the family doc didn‘t just throw more pills at her. Hopefully her referral is a good one! 9mo

dabbe Esther has never had anything below an “A“ in her life. She wins contests, too. Not getting into the summer class was her complete undoing. I'm almost scared now to read more.

BTW, do they live in a house in Boston? If so, why do the mom and Esther share the same bedroom? Or am I wrong in that assumption? 9mo

TheAromaofBooks Waaaaaayy too casual about eating raw hamburger + raw egg 😂 9mo

ElizaMarie Buddy !!! #RunForYourLifeNurse !! Hopefully he doesn't seduce that poor nurse who he “falls in love“ with. I mean. poor girl to be sucked into him! I am #proud Ester put her foot down with that one! 9mo

julieclair @mcctrish Maybe the Lark Rose vibe was why Esther got on my last nerve in this chapter! 😂. But then I reached the end of the chapter and felt guilty about her getting on my nerves. She does need someone who can help her. I do hope the psychiatrist turns out to be a good one. But I'm fearful 9mo

BarkingMadRead @Cuilin for real. But also. Every time period had people having random sex, I always wonder why people are so shocked 🤣 especially when it‘s a guy (the old double standard) 🙄 10mo

Cuilin @BarkingMadRead I for real thought he was going to say the baby was his!! Now that‘s a double life. (edited) 10mo

BarkingMadRead @cuilin 🤣🤣🤣 10mo

Bookwormjillk I liked her more in this chapter. 10mo

dabbe I can't believe how many times I've laughed out loud at Plath's wit as shown through Esther. I'm sad as all hell, too, but laughter does come in the darkest of places sometimes. 10mo

mcctrish Esther really does give zero fucks 10mo

Clare-Dragonfly Plath twisted it around on me again! I think Esther‘s reaction is a bit over the top but I love that he gets TB so she doesn‘t have to deal with him 😂 10mo

ElizaMarie Love the description of his junk!!! How lackluster that was!!! Also- I had to assist in deliveries for nursing school — not a date activity at all!!!!! 10mo

tpixie @Clare-Dragonfly who knew how convenient TB could turn out to be! @Cuilin I was thinking the baby might be his, also! @ElizaMarie what a weird way to strip!! @BarkingMadRead not my kind of date! 10mo

tpixie @BarkingMadRead I‘m glad Ester said no to Buddy! 10mo

Cuilin I feel a little guilty knowing Mrs Macey‘s business. 🤫 as to Mr Phillip #ILoveTheSoundOfMyOwnVoice White, good for Laura saying thanks but no!!! 10mo

BarkingMadRead @Cuilin ahhhhhhh I totally left that out! That was so sad, and I liked it better thinking he was off traveling 10mo

willaful I was half-expecting you to use the “why are men?“ meme for this chapter. 😂 Thank goodness Laura didn't let herself get caught up in that! I wonder why she didn't stay at the post office though.... will we actually find out, or will it just end with her tombstone? 😂 10mo

BarkingMadRead @willaful #andlaurawenttoafricaanddiedtheend 10mo

KAO I was stunned that we actually got the mystery regarding Mrs. Macey‘s absent husband solved—but what a sad turn of events there! (edited) 10mo

KAO I‘m so relieved that Laura didn‘t settle for Philip White. No, thank you, but your egotism has been amusing anyway, Sir. 10mo

dabbe @willaful My lips are sealed. Until tomorrow. 😂 10mo

Bookwormjillk I finally finished this chapter, and it‘s close enough to midnight so I might as well finish the book. I had to chuckle when Laura pictured herself happy in the cottage but then realized Phillip would be there too #recordscratch 10mo

BarbaraJean The sneaking around with Don Juan was SO relatable. There are so many books I've read just because someone told me I shouldn't!! 10mo

Bookwormjillk Very relatable chapter for most of us I'm sure. 10mo

Cuilin I know I seem to be always asking questions, but has anybody seen Mr. Bates V the Post Office? Because I was screaming “don‘t sign it Laura!!!!“ I liked how she was learning Morse code for telegrams. That‘s pretty cool. 10mo

dabbe Miss Lane tried to enforce a banning of a book! Which of course made Laura want to read it. 😂 That's the positive way of looking at people who try to ban books from kids, right? 10mo

willaful I enjoyed the detail in this chapter.

A friend of mine moved to Switzerland, where a lot of services are still done by the post office, and he is very much a fan. 10mo

KAO Ah! Sneaking a book away to read in bed! That‘s our book-loving girl! 10mo
