mcctrish What just happened? V admits to the debts he could never repay and that he isn‘t worthy of Emily AND is mad that she doesn‘t want to shackle herself to him?! He questions how long the count has been her friend? Meanwhile E has spent about 32 minutes in his actual company and expects her to marry him after whoring and gambling ? RUN AWAY EMILY 1w

Bklover @mcctrish yes! When I think of all the weeping and fainting over V it makes me want to scream. You are right- she doesn‘t even really know him! 1w

mcctrish It‘s nice she had him to focus on while at Udolpho but cut him loose now 1w

Bookwormjillk At first I was kind of on V's side because yeah she just met this Count guy. But then he admitted to it all so bye V. And what is the story of the picture? 1w

BarkingMadRead @Bookwormjillk everyone is crying 🤷🏻‍♀️ 1w

Bookwormjillk @BarkingMadRead I meant the one that Emily's dad had that Dorethee was refusing to talk about. She is just not coming back? 1w

BarkingMadRead @Bookwormjillk ohhhhhhhh that picture! We may never know…. 1w

Clare-Dragonfly V keeps going “I‘m terrible and it‘s exactly like the Count says” except no one actually lays out what Emily or V is thinking. I‘d put money on V‘s actual actions not being as bad as what Emily thinks. Of course, I don‘t know whether he‘ll actually TELL HER that before they both die of old age! 1w

julieclair If we don‘t find out about the picture, I‘m going to go nuts. I‘m warming up my book-throwing arm… 1w

Morr_Books Well clearly Miss Lavish would not have fainted. 1y

dabbe And it seems like Eager is eager to throw shade on Mr. Emerson and others while seeming to be concerned with manners and gentility; what a hypocrite! Lavish and Charlotte, too! Only Mr. Beebe and the Emersons seems truly to be good people. I take it we're going to Rome soon, or somehow we're going to meet the Vyses. #ahtheintrigueofitall 1y

Clare-Dragonfly Mr. Eager is the worst so far about implying a lot without saying anything at all! 1y

mcctrish #mreagerisreallymrawful let‘s go to Rome and meet all the Vyses 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 although a drive with Mr Beebe does sound delightful, maybe he could go to Rome too 1y

julieclair I can‘t wait to see who shows up in Rome! 🫣😂 1y

Bklover @TheBookHippie #pimpingout 😅 perfect!❤️ 1y

mcctrish Mrs Jennings is STIRRING THE POT!!! She and Kitty are cut from the same cloth, seeing things where they aren‘t 🤣 maybe Georgiana will stop being dazzled by all her lights and see what‘s in front of her 🎶blinded by the light 🎶 2y

TheAromaofBooks I do feel like this author has captured Mrs. Jennings PERFECTLY 😂 2y

Bookwormjillk Love the Kitty and Mrs J combo 2y

BarkingMadRead @mcctrish @TheAromaofBooks @Bookwormjillk the Jennings/Kitty connection is on point! 2y

rubyslippersreads @BarkingMadRead @mcctrish @TheAromaofBooks @Bookwormjillk Mrs. Jennings and Kitty are the perfect match. 2y

Ruthiella @rubyslippersreads This is maybe the one true meeting of soulmates in the book. 😂 2y

BarkingMadRead @Ruthiella #accurate 2y

dabbe Now all we need is for Miss Crawford and Moreland to show up at Pemberley to make things REALLY interesting! 🤩🤣🤩 2y

BarkingMadRead @dabbe that would be amazing!! #allthedrama 2y

rubyslippersreads @Ruthiella 👍🏻 2y

mcctrish @dabbe we sure do #letsgetthispartystarted 2y

willaful #TeamKittyandMrsJennings 😂

So I am totally spoiled by reading Regency romances... the idea that a *baronet* was aiming high had me going “huh?“ 😂 2y

Cortg Yes! I grew up in New England for the most part. His writing feels like home. I‘m on vacay in RI and listening to a SK book. I‘ve chuckled quite a few times with this read and his NE jabs 😂 2y

BookDragonNotWorm 😂 I'm from Florida but my husband and I spent 8 years of our 30s living in New England - 5 of them quite near where SK lived (saw him at the grocery store a few times) and we said the same thing - there are definitely some creepy little towns and characters up there! 2y

Amiable @Cortg Where did you grow up? I know what you mean about his writing —there‘s a certain snark and attitude that makes me snicker at times because I can hear the voices of people I know in my head when I‘m reading it. 😀 2y

Amiable @BookDragonNotWorm So funny —my husband and I are literally in Florida right now for a friend‘s wedding. On the drive from Orlando to Vero Beach through the central part of the state we said the same thing about creepy towns and eccentric characters! 😄 2y

Cortg I moved to Massachusetts when I was 7 and lived there for 5 years, then Connecticut where I graduated high school. I went away to college and never returned. My parents sold the CT house a couple of years ago after 30+ years. 2y

BookDragonNotWorm That's so funny - & true! 😂 I live beachside in south Brevard County - just north of Vero Beach. I know some of those places you drove by. The scariest of them didn't even exist 20 years ago. They were founded on poverty & meth (& maybe inbreeding 😳). Keep your windows up and the doors locked. Seriously - in the last few years there's been an influx of petty crimes. The more people who move down here, the worse it gets. We're getting the dregs. 2y

Amiable @Cortg I‘m a Connecticut native who moved to Massachusetts for college and lived there for 12 years, then moved back to CT for my husband‘s job. I went to North Haven High School and now live in East Lyme. Where did your parents live? (edited) 2y

Amiable @BookDragonNotWorm Honestly, I‘m not a huge fan of Florida — I prefer our creepy brand of SK characters in NE! That‘s interesting about the towns we passed —I didn‘t realize it was all so new. It did surprise me to hear that Vero Beach was founded less than 100 years ago, too. I‘m so used to New England where everything is so old. I have furniture from my grandmother that‘s older than Vero Beach! 😀 2y

Cortg We lived in Sandy Hook and I graduated from Newtown High School. My daughter is in college now in Massachusetts so I‘m up this way several times a year! I went to school in NC, eventually moved to NoVA, and we‘re in MD now, slowly making our way back up the east coast. 2y

Amiable @Cortg Ha ha! My youngest son went to UMD and lives in Baltimore now, so we‘re down there a few times a year! I‘ll probably pass you on I-95. 😀 2y

Cortg Excellent! I‘m just south of B‘More by Fort Meade/NSA! 2y
