Clare-Dragonfly He certainly doesn‘t seem very believable. I believe him (I bet I know what she wanted to tell him) but he has no proof that Rebecca wrote that note the night she disappeared! 17h

Clare-Dragonfly @5feet.of.fury Right??!? Hmm… he was sitting with Danny… does she know about the note? 17h

Aimeesue @mcctrish Hahahaha! He really does! 15h

Aimeesue Jack is just UGH. Marry your cousin? I‘m still not over the ickiness of that. I mean, I know it was done, but yuck. 15h

willaful @Aimeesue It was pretty common in England. Fanny marries her cousin in Mansfield Park. (edited) 8h

mcctrish @Aimeesue maybe it‘s why the English had such horrible teeth 🤣🤣🤣 37m

Roary47 @dabbe I only stopped yesterday because I wanted to discuss it with everyone, and I was a day ahead! 💀 @IndoorDame Right?! How does she respond! Dude! Just deadpan: sigh… well they were bound to discover it sooner or later. Hey Max why don‘t you say that next to Ms D. That would bring on some uncomfortable tension with a side of rage. 4d

Clare-Dragonfly I think Jan should have gone ahead and stayed in her room. Let Maxim deal with the consequences! He deserves to squirm a little! (edited) 7d

See All 22 Comments

Clare-Dragonfly I mean, she ALSO should have told Beatrice about Danny setting her up. But let‘s be real, that was never going to happen. 7d

BarkingMadRead @Clare-Dragonfly and she had the perfect opportunity! Whyyyyyy did she not?!? 7d

Bookwormjillk @Clare-Dragonfly YES! She should have told Max and Bea about Mrs Danvers. 7d

peanutnine She definitely should have told them about Danvers but like @Clare-Dragonfly I'm not surprised she didn't. She doesn't seem to realize that she has power over her as an employer. But she probably thought they wouldn't believe her 7d

daena Maxim is the worst! As the chapters move forward my disgust of him grows. 7d

willaful @daena I'm really feeling why the author was pissed at this being called a romance. 7d

daena @willaful totally! 💯 7d

Crinoline_Laphroaig @daena same! 7d

Crinoline_Laphroaig @peanutnine @Clare-Dragonfly I never under when characters don't tell what happened. I would be yelling it out. And #DreadfulDanny would be packing her bags. Honestly if she just told Bea she would have told Maxim and he would have fired Mrs D immediately. 7d

Crinoline_Laphroaig ^understand. Litsy needs edit option on comments! 7d

dabbe I, too, want the narrator to snap back and have a backbone, but she just doesn't. She's terrified of Danvers (and even Maxim at times) and is so UNSURE of herself that she can't fight back. Max wanted her as Alice in Wonderland--fiitting since Alice is a complete innocent, not worldly like Rebecca or Caroline de Winter. The irony is, though, that Max is primarily responsible for Jan's loss of innocence. #sosad 😞 7d

Ruthiella @dabbe Perfect analysis! 👌 7d

TheAromaofBooks @Clare-Dragonfly @peanutnine @Crinoline_Laphroaig @dabbe @Ruthiella - I'm interested to see if Jan even REALIZES that Danny set her up. I think she is going to excuse Mrs. D with a kind of “oh she didn't know people would be upset/it was an accident“ thing. 7d

BarkingMadRead @TheAromaofBooks that‘s a good point, although that creepy smile on Mrs D should hopefully clue her in! 7d

julieclair @TheAromaofBooks If she does that, it will totally be a throw-the-book moment for me! 7d

peanutnine @julieclair @TheAromaofBooks omg same! Hopefully she isn't THAT naive by now 7d

dabbe @Ruthiella 😘 7d

dabbe @TheAromaofBooks Agree! Jan wanted so much to believe that Danny was finally being nice to her that she had the rose-colored glasses look in her eyes. And, too true, @BarkingMadRead. That smirk and the closing of the door in the west wing should have been HUGE clues for Jan. What a scene! 7d

Bookwormjillk Jan is always being told she needs permission from the ladies in her life. Danny says she needs to ask to go into Rebecca‘s room. Bea says she must tell her the minute she‘s pregnant. Blah. 1w

Ruthiella @Bookwormjillk Agree. But if she were to assert herself, they would back down. She‘s always assuming and never asserting. 1w

Bookwormjillk @Ruthiella so true 1w

Roary47 My heart broke a little for Jan here. How tough to be meeting an influential matriarch in your husband‘s family. Then be told “what did you do to Rebecca, I liked Rebecca, where is Rebecca?” 💔 (edited) 1w

BarkingMadRead @Roary47 I‘m amazed at how many people are willing to say more or less the same thing to her! 1w

TheAromaofBooks We are caretaking my grandma right now and I really related with a lot of Jan's thoughts in this chapter, about how strange it is when someone gets old, and wondering what they were really like when they were young and vibrant. 1w

julieclair @TheAromaofBooks Those passages really resonated with me as well. 1w

julieclair I had a sick feeling in my stomach from the moment the grandmother seemed delighted that Jan had come to visit. I was worried she was thinking Jan was Rebecca. 💔 And poor Jan, she did nothing wrong, but her very presence caused the frail old lady major distress. 1w

TheAromaofBooks Can't believe I forgot to mention my favorite line - “I had an uneasy feeling we might be asked to spend the approaching Christmas with Beatrice. Perhaps I could have influenza.“ 😂 1w

Librarybelle @BarkingMadRead I know! It‘s been several years for me, and I kept thinking “how could I have forgotten this!!”😂 1w

Bookwormjillk This was really creepy. Run Jan, run! 1w

peanutnine Sooo creepy. Also, I highly doubt Danvers was as buddy buddy with Rebecca as she's making it out, like they were best friends 1w

BarkingMadRead @peanutnine I agree, it seems like rebecca was more likely to tease her 1w

TheBookHippie Creeeeeeepy. 1w

Ruthiella @Librarybelle @BarkingMadRead I also forgot just how creepy this chapter was. 1w

Librarybelle @Ruthiella It makes me wonder what else I have forgotten as the story unfolds. 1w

willaful We're definitely in gothic territory now! 1w

ElizaMarie @peanutnine @BarkingMadRead Yes ☑️ it feels like Danvers has to be exaggerating their closeness. Also. Like I get it, you cared about her, but to keep touching her things and putting flowers in her room… feels so weird to me. 1w

julieclair @willaful Yes! This chapter has all the gothic novel vibes. And I‘m loving it! 1w

Crinoline_Laphroaig So creepy. 1w

Clare-Dragonfly CREEPY, DANNY!!! 1w

Clare-Dragonfly I am even more sure now it was Danvers in the cottage threatening Ben. She‘s creeping around being obsessed with everything Rebecca ever touched. (edited) 1w

Roary47 It‘s almost as if Danvers loved her just as much if not more than Max. 1w

dabbe @Roary47 OBSESSION to the nth degree. 😮 1w

BarkingMadRead @Roary47 @dabbe yes! Obsession for sure. Should be interesting! 1w

Bookwormjillk Danny 🤣🤣🤣 2w

BarkingMadRead @Bookwormjillk I just can‘t 🤣 I can‘t imagine her with any nickname at all ☠️ 2w

dabbe At least there's a little respite for our narrator who feels more like herself with Maxim away. She doesn't have to pretend to be someone she isn't and can just be herself--for a little while. 2w

ElizaMarie So much mystery in this chapter!!!! I'm super intrigued! 2w

Clare-Dragonfly I think it was Mrs. Danvers in the cabin threatening Ben!!! Rebecca would have no reason to keep her cabin activities a secret, and would probably think Ben is beneath her. Mrs. Danvers fits the description better and is definitely acting fishy. 2w

BarkingMadRead @Clare-Dragonfly ohhhhh that‘s a really good theory and I could totally see Danvers doing that! 2w

Bookwormjillk Jan is really reminding me of a person at work who decides that each time she has a scheduled check in with our shared supervisor she‘s going to get fired then when I tell her she‘s not she gets mad when she‘s not promoted. The stories she tells herself in her head. Cool it Jan. Max isn‘t dead just because he went to London. #DontBelieveEverythingYouThink 2w

TheAromaofBooks @Bookwormjillk - Seriously! I was reading that section like COOL YOUR JETS, my word! 1w

kwmg40 Jan really has an overactive imagination! 1w

julieclair @kwmg40 Yes, and that imagination is not doing her any favors. 1w

ElizaMarie I‘m so sad for her! To feel the way she does (inadequate). I wish she was able to talk to her HUSBAND about these things, but #AtLeastSheHasFrank. He is such a sweet man :) Also, yes “modest” has a billion different meanings. #WhatDoYouMean 2w

dabbe I'm glad she has Frank, too, but ouch to his last line: “I suppose she was the most beautiful creature I ever saw in my life.“

Yet ... he calls Rebecca a “creature.“ I looked up the definition and found two interesting thoughts re: Miss-holier-than-thou Rebecca:
1. an animal, as distinct from a human being
2. a fictional being, typically a FRIGHTENING one.

Perhaps Rebecca ain't all she's cracked up to be. 🧐 2w

julieclair @dabbe The word “creature” jumped out at me, too! Such an interesting word choice. What could it mean? 🤔 1w

dabbe @julieclair Makes us want to keep reading on, right? 🤩🤩🤩 1w

IndoorDame For someone who was promised to be super forthcoming with her opinions I found Beatrice pretty cryptic. I think “not Rebecca” is a positive grade from the new SIL, but I definitely wouldn‘t be sure if I were in Jan‘s (super unfashionable) shoes 2w

Bookwormjillk Frustrating chapter (but in a good way.) Tell us what you know Beatrice! 2w

julieclair I like Beatrice and hope that she and Jan will become friends. And maybe Beatrice will also answer all of our (uh, I mean Jan‘s) questions! 🤞 2w

Crinoline_Laphroaig Jan is such a child. I'm surprised she didn't hide under her bed. 🤦🏻‍♀️ 2w

Clare-Dragonfly I like Beatrice! But I sure wish Jan would have asked her more questions. 2w
