Morr_Books So I haven't seen the movie in years. Is that what the fiancé looks like in the movie version? #ewwww 9mo
BarkingMadRead @Morr_Books this is what came up when I googled him, so I guess so! 9mo

BarkingMadRead @Morr_Books I just checked IMDb and this is the Cecil in the HBC version 9mo
Ruthiella @Morr_Books That‘s him! Daniel Day Lewis. He played the prig Cecil Vyse to perfection. 😃 9mo
Morr_Books @BarkingMadRead I'm guessing whoever did the casting for that production felt the same way some of us did about not wanting any of that Cecil character. 9mo
Morr_Books @Ruthiella That is Daniel Day Lewis???!!! 🤯 9mo
TheBookHippie 🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮 9mo
mcctrish I seriously thought I‘d screwed up my kindle 😡 #whereisgeorge #freddyisawesome #morefreddynocecil #whatthehellislucythinking 9mo
Bklover I thought I was reading the wrong book. Or the wrong chapter. The whole chapter was just wrong wrong wrong. We are supposed to be in Rome and George is supposed to be finding her and sweeping her away!!! And what rock did Cecil crawl out from under 🪨 (edited) 9mo
BarkingMadRead @Bklover yes! I was so confused, I kept expecting them to switch back to Rome. WTF?!?! 9mo
Bklover @BarkingMadRead I hope your daughter knows how much fun we have here! (edited) 9mo
BarkingMadRead @Bklover she‘s actually on Litsy, although she rarely posts! @Princess.ofthe.pages 9mo
Ruthiella @Morr_Books As my sister says, “Daniel Day Lewis could put on a hoop skirt and play Scarlett O‘Hara convincingly.” 🤣 9mo
Bklover Went to follow her and I already do! 9mo
Bookwormjillk This chapter was so abrupt. I feel like Rome stolen from us 🤣 9mo
Cuilin #lovefreddy played by a very young and beautiful Robert Graves 9mo
Clare-Dragonfly Lucy thinks she can but I really hope she doesn‘t actually! I was annoyed with George last chapter but now I really, really want him to come back. Also… I‘m so confused 😭 #whydidtheyskipaheadsomuch indeed! 9mo
Clare-Dragonfly @mcctrish I‘m with you! #morefreddynocecil Any book character who leaves bones lying around on the nice furniture is my kind of book character 😂😂😂 9mo
Clare-Dragonfly Also… when Mr. Beebe said Cecil was an “ideal bachelor” like him I so wanted him to mean that they are both gay. But in Cecil‘s case I think he just means that he sucks. But Mr. Beebe doesn‘t suck, so it‘s still unclear. 9mo
mcctrish @Clare-Dragonfly that‘s exactly how I interpreted ‘ideal bachelor‘ 9mo
TheAromaofBooks @Clare-Dragonfly @mcctrish - in the context of also talking about how he was like a Gothic statue “which implies celibacy, just as a Greek statue implies fruition“ - I think it may be more that at the time even more than now, marriage also meant fatherhood, family, responsibility - men were the sole charge of the household finances and major decisions. For different reasons, neither Cecil nor Beebe is particularly the type to take on that burden. 9mo
dabbe @Ruthiella The same DDL who was a stud in THE LAST OF THE MOHICANS? #wtf? (excuse my French). 😀🤣🤩 9mo
julieclair I‘m listening on audio and seriously thought a large chunk of the book had been left out! #whathappenedtorome #whathappenedINrome #ditchcecil 9mo
