mcctrish I don‘t even know what to say other than Mr Gibson is right, Osborne needs to tell his dad everything and #notarealclare can stop her schemeing 1d

Ruthiella Osborn! “No one will give me a job” boo hoo. He COULD manage the estate he is going to inherit instead of try to sell his (probably not very good) poetry. 1d

Clare-Dragonfly Gah 23h

eeclayton @Ruthiella Agreed. He isn't even trying to get a job, he's just spending other people's money and feeling sorry for himself. 23h

Bklover @mcctrish I can hardly wait for the scene when #notarealclare finds out! 22h

mcctrish @Bklover the furies will be unleashed 22h

mcctrish @Ruthiella poor Osborne born too soon for a #gofundme 22h

willaful I'm wondering if #NotARealClare is encouraging Roger now because she thinks Osborne is going to die. And what if Osborne does die and his expected baby is a secret heir! Would explain why the book is so damn long. 😂 21h

Ruthiella @mcctrish 😂😂😂 19h

Bookwormjillk @mcctrish lol 17h

mcctrish @willaful so drawn out and not nearly the death count we are used to 17h

ElizaMarie @MccTrish and @Willaful - Yes! I thought there would be more deaths! 59m

mcctrish I am spiralling after this chapter - #notarealclare is soooooo obnoxious, Molly is so sweet, Roger is a dumbass, what is up with Cynthia?! My favourite quote is Osborne “I believe my movements are guided more by the lunar calendar than the floral” trying to shut #notarealclare down 2d

Bookwormjillk @mcctrish Ozzy seems to be the only one who knows what is going on. So weird. 2d

mcctrish @Bookwormjillk he‘s one of the few that knows his back story 😆 2d

willaful I was a little confused by the section about “Mrs Gibson's cautious and quiet efforts to forward the catastrophe.“ Is she trying to get Osborne to compromise Cynthia so they have to get married? Truly that would be a catastrophe. 2d

BarkingMadRead @willaful I would not be surprised in the least #anythingforwedding 2d

ElizaMarie Another reminder that Rodger is not the Golden Boy Osborne. 2d

Clare-Dragonfly @willaful I think in this case “catastrophe” is more of a synonym of “climax” or “resolution” than “terrible thing.” But I‘m sure Mrs. Gaskell had both meanings in mind! 2d

julieclair @mcctrish “Spiraling” is the perfect word to describe how I‘m feeling after this chapter, too. 1d

peanutnine Roger has the patience of a saint. I'd be so annoyed with my father and brother at this point 🙄 3d

Clare-Dragonfly @peanutnine Right?! 3d

mcctrish @peanutnine facts!!! I‘m ready to bludgeon the old fart!!! Osborne should bring the French catholic home sooner than later to finish him off 3d

ElizaMarie And the father being all - I was Hangry 3d

willaful @ElizaMarie lol! 3d

Bklover @mcctrish 😂😂😂Yes!! 3d

julieclair Osborne is not my favorite, but I give him some credit for trying to drum it into his father‘s head that the invitation really is for Roger, on Roger‘s own merit. 1d

No Exit: A Play in One Act | Jean-Paul Sartre

pick

I picked up this short play for a reading challenge on Goodreads. I‘ve never read any Sartre before but this was compelling. Three individuals wake up to find themselves in hell. I‘ll post my favorite quote from the end of the book below, with spoiler tags.👇🏻 I think it sums things up pretty accurately. 4⭐️

#classics #Sartre

JenlovesJT47 “So this is hell. I'd never have believed it. You remember all we were told about the torture-chambers, the fire and brimstone, the "burning marl." Old wives' tales!There's no need for red-hot pokers. HELL IS-OTHER PEOPLE!” 4d

lil1inblue It's been ages since I read this, but I found it so fascinating! 4d

JenlovesJT47 @lil1inblue it‘s so interesting! I‘d love to see it in person! 💙🩵💙 4d

Ruthiella What is this mystery about Mr. Preston? Also, I also love the Browning sisters! 4d

mcctrish I LOVE that everyone was aggrieved and defrauded by the late arrival hour and poor dress of the wealthy and the duchess. Preston and #notarealclare are the snobbiest, ill tempered social climbers anywhere 4d

peanutnine I'm beginning to really like Lady Harriet, and how she "learned her lesson" from Molly. I love how her familiarity with Molly and the Browning sisters annoys #notarealclare so much 4d

willaful Oh man! I used to have paper dolls of the women in that picture! Dover published them.

I'm suspecting that #NotARealClare set her cap at Mr. Preston but he wanted Cynthia. 🤢 And he seems to have some power over them, so maybe he knows something damaging. Possibly he did something damaging. 😬
