AllDebooks I got distracted, Iain Glenn is a very handsome man. 1d

BarkingMadRead @AllDebooks 🤣 I feel that! I think he‘s going to disappoint us 1d

peanutnine Wait, I feel like I missed something. How do we know this Preston guy? 1d

BarkingMadRead @peanutnine we don‘t 🤷🏻‍♀️ we just met him today. I‘m just getting bad vibes 1d

peanutnine @BarkingMadRead okay cool, just making sure. There are so many characters to keep track of I thought I missed one 😅 1d

Ruthiella @peanutnine I think he was mentioned briefly earlier as the land manager for this estate who had done Mrs. Kirkpatrick favors like providing her with game or produce from the estate. @BarkingMadRead I agree, this guy feels skeevy.😬 1d

mcctrish Mr Preston is in love with Miss Kirkpatrick? I‘m not sure #mommydearest #notarealclare is going to approve and is Mr Gibson getting cold feet ? I hope so, this marriage is giving #titanicvibes 1d

AllDebooks @BarkingMadRead possibly so 😔 1d

willaful Mr. Gibson certainly has plenty of reason for cold feet! But is there anything he can do about it now?

I kept being so uncomfortable every time Molly was allowed to be alone with this guy... what happened to being so careful of her, hmmm? 1d

Bookwormjillk We certainly shouldn‘t trust Preston 1d

Clare-Dragonfly Yes, he‘s a land agent—I had to CTRL+F his name but I did find that 😂 1d

ElizaMarie @Clare-Dragonfly gotta love technology - I had gottrm confused too! 20h

willaful Definitely got some Emma echoes in this chapter, with Lord Whassisface being so proud of his “matchmaking.“ If only NotClare was like Mrs. Weston!

ElizaMarie #AllTheRedFlags !!! 2d

Clare-Dragonfly @willaful My thoughts exactly! 2d

willaful @Bookwormjillk I'm wondering if she actually going to pull off making him happy, just because she's generally so good at it. I'm honestly surprised he's not sick of her already, given he's not much for demonstrations of affection, but then again, he has been single for a long time... 2d

Ruthiella @willaful @Clare-Dragonfly I thought of Emma too! 😂 And yes to @mcctrish @ElizaMarie SO MANY RED FLAGS 🚩‼️ ⛔️⚠️🚨 2d

Lcsmcat Any Keeping Up Appearances fans here? Because Hyacinth! 😂🤣😂 3d

Cuilin I‘m not sure I would want to get between Mr. Gibson and his cheese. Also, I‘m trying to be understanding of Hyacinth, as women in the 19th century if they were not ever so slightly manipulative, they could be coerced into anything. I‘m not sure cheese is the hill I‘d want to die on though. 3d

See All 21 Comments

mcctrish Good lord help us all from Hyacinth! Is it too late to call the whole thing off? Let‘s just find Molly a husband instead of 3d

Cuilin @Lcsmcat bouquet (Bucket) residence Lady of the house speaking”. I keep thinking of her too. (edited) 3d

BarkingMadRead @cuilin I would definitely choose a better hill 🤷🏻‍♀️ 3d

willaful Cheese is the hill I would die on, as in I will die for cheese!
3d

Bookwormjillk @Cuilin you are so right about the cheese. 3d

peanutnine Uh oh Roger is paying attention to Molly....the squire would not approve 3d

ElizaMarie @willaful I‘ll die right next to you —- #ForCheese #CheeseIsLife 3d

ElizaMarie Does Molly even need a mother? Isn‘t Mr Gibson too late in thinking this would be “good” for her? Excuses? 3d

BarkingMadRead @ElizaMarie yeah I think he waited a smidge too long 🤣 3d

willaful @ElizaMarie I once told someone that I don't trust people who don't like cheese and I'd say I was justified! 3d

Clare-Dragonfly Some women are dripping with diamonds / Some women are dripping with pearls / Lucky me, lucky me, look at what I‘m dripping with / Little girls! (edited) 3d

eeclayton @ElizaMarie I agree that Mr G is rather late. It's weird that he tends to (both him and Mrs K actually) treat Molly like a little child but expect her to behave in a mature way. Also, Lydia Bennet had been married for over a year when she was Molly's age. Not that she'd be a good role model, I'm just comparing life stages. 3d

eeclayton @Cuilin manipulation is one thing, but what really bugs me is that she doesn't want to invite her own daughter to the wedding so that she can't outshine her. Just awful. And then there's the matter of the cheese!
Come to think of it, I wonder what kind of person Cynthia will turn out to be. 3d

Lcsmcat @Clare-Dragonfly 😂🤣 3d

Cuilin @eeclayton yeah not wanting your daughter around because she might outshine you, is problematic. 3d

Bklover @Clare-Dragonfly 🧡😂🧡😂 3d

rubyslippersreads @Lcsmcat That‘s exactly who I thought of. 2d

mcctrish @Cuilin you said it!!!! Roger is a star ⭐️ #gettingcinderellavibes 4d

willaful Ugh, he doesn't know DIDDLY about her actual character! At least we don't have to call her Clare anymore. #UghHyacinth

Roger is a sweetheart. I'm kind of irritated by Molly, but I tend to hate gooey father-daughter relationships. It's not really her fault she's been spoiled. (edited) 4d

Bklover @willaful I‘m with you on the gooey relationship with Dad. And Dad appears to be an idiot! It‘s not like he‘s poor and marrying for money! 4d

willaful @Bklover It's hypocritical of me because I have a gooey mother-daughter relationship, lol. 4d

Bklover @willaful Me too!!! 4d

Ruthiella This is not a good match! 😱 4d

Lcsmcat @Cuilin 😂🤣😂 So true! 4d

ElizaMarie That proposal sucked! 4d

Bookwormjillk I feel like Hyacinth is such a passive aggressive thing to name a character you don‘t like. No offense to any Hyacinths out there. 3d

julieclair Oh Gibson, Gibson…. SUCH a bad idea. Why didn‘t you ask us first? We‘d have told you not to do it. 😵‍💫 3d

rubyslippersreads @Bookwormjillk The only Hyacinth I can think of is Hyacinth Bucket. 😆 2d

Bookwormjillk Clare sigh. Osborne sigh. 6d

And yup, here comes NotARealClare again, making mischief. How surprising to learn she was a terrible governess! 🙄 6d

ElizaMarie Ha! Osborne sounds like he would be a spoiled brat (maybe not his fault) 6d

Clare-Dragonfly We‘re all surprised #notarealclare can‘t keep a job, she‘s so pretty 😂 Here‘s hoping she‘s a better wife and stepmother than governess! 6d

AllDebooks This is grinding my gears now. Maggie should tell them all to feck off. She should ask Tom for a small allowance and get gone to a new life with found family and better friends. 3w

BarkingMadRead @AllDebooks for real! 3w

dabbe It's hard to believe, but if only Maggie had gone through with the elopement with Stephen, she would have caused less damage, and Philip and Lucy would have eventually moved on with their lives. Now that Maggie is determined to stay in town, she is making it impossible for Stephen to have a possible reconciliation, either with herself or with Lucy. Moreover, her presence in town will keep the wound open in Philip's heart. 3w

Clare-Dragonfly I don‘t love Philip telling her he would have committed suicide if he didn‘t love her so much. Keep that to yourself, my man. I‘m glad you had something to hold onto but don‘t make Maggie feel guilty. 3w

Leftcoastzen Maggie can‘t get a break. It was a lovely letter, everyone seems stuck cuz Maggie is stuck .😞 3w

Leftcoastzen It is a frustrating chapter! Maggie left to get the scowls, side eye , etc . Hard times for a woman. She‘s trying to stay strong. 3w

TheAromaofBooks Like I get why Maggie doesn't want to start over, but at the same time - it feels like she always purposefully chooses the hardest possible path for no real reason. 3w

Clare-Dragonfly Yes, very frustrating. Dr. Kenn seems to be a kind man. I hope he comes up with a solution that can satisfy Maggie‘s conscience without making the rest of her life miserable. 3w

ElizaMarie @TheAromaofBooks yes!!!! 3w

eeclayton @TheAromaofBooks it seems like she's internalised the criticism of the community and doesn't feel like she deserves a fresh start. Which is the saddest thing in this book. 3w
