dabbe @mcctrish I see some major emotional explosion coming soon down the Hollingford road! 10h

willaful Before I was getting Emma vibes, now I'm getting Mansfield Park vibes. 10h

Bklover Osborne and Roger can be such idiots! Poor Molly! 6h

Lcsmcat @willaful Very Mansfield Park-like! Except Molly has more spirit than Fanny. 3h

Checking out Bagatelle Books in Asheville and came across these! If only I had $300, the ability to fly them home, and bookshelf space… #whatthedickens @Cuilin

AnnCrystal 🤩📚💝💝💝. 1d

Soubhiville I‘m glad you found them! I‘ve found some great books there. 1d

Texreader @Soubhiville Yes it was great! We just got to our hotel in Charlotte. Sorry we didn‘t get to stick around to say hello. It was a very quick trip into Asheville. Saw the NC Arboretum which was lovely! 1d

Soubhiville I love the Arboretum! The quilt garden is so pretty. 1d

Ruthiella Well, this explains the secrecy of it all…somewhat. 1d

dabbe Osborne is annoying me like a pebble in my shoe. I adore Roger and want him to like Molly, not Cynthia. The squire's an ass, though it was good to see him laugh over a smoke with Roger. 1d

ElizaMarie @dabbe my thoughts exactly :) 1d

mcctrish Osborne has no money now so he might as well tell his father about Aimee and explain where all his money went. It would be cheaper to house Aimee at home. The Squire can then tell him why they basically advanced him the money they did ( cuz mama pushed for it) someone can slap Roger so he can see Molly and bring her home too 1d

rubyslippersreads I‘m disappointed the wife isn‘t a character we already know. Kind of like coming to the end of a mystery where the murderer is someone we‘ve never heard of. 😏 1d

willaful @rubyslippersreads Well, we do still have HOURS and HOURS of the book left. 😂

1d

TheAromaofBooks I honestly feel bad for the squire. While he may not be the brightest, I do think he genuinely loved his wife and feels completely lost without her. He's grieving so much and I think he's turning some of that grief into anger at Osborne - it's pretty natural to want a target when you're sad like that. But I do think Osborne is dumb for keeping this all a secret. How can things get worse by telling him?? 1d

Bklover @rubyslippersreads I agree!! I kind of thought they‘d surprise us! 1d

rubyslippersreads @willaful True, but this particular mystery has been solved. (Unless someone murders Aimee and Osborne remarries. 😂) (edited) 1d

Ruthiella @rubyslippersreads I know! I thought it might have been Lady Harriet…because Rodger mentioned that name much earlier to Molly. 23h

mcctrish Poor spoiled Osborne! #youhavetospendmoneytomakemoney I‘d go to work but yo how can I without a start up fund. Roger needs to marry Molly so they can have a centre to revolve around again (edited) 2d

willaful Such a sad chapter, and really shows a lot of insight into human nature. 2d

Ruthiella Osborne is such a waste of space. 2d

Bookwormjillk Ugh 2d

rubyslippersreads Does anyone else think the burden of all that emotional labor contributed to making Mrs. Hamley an invalid in the first place? 😏 (edited) 2d

ElizaMarie I want to meet the wife ! 2d

Bklover @ElizaMarie Me too! I keep wondering if it‘s someone we‘ve already met. 2d

willaful @rubyslippersreads I didn't but you make a good point!

2d

willaful @mcctrish I'm not fond of Osborne but I don't think he was wrong about needing money to start a profession. Maybe he'll sell off his fancy clothes and redeem himself? He does seem to be trying.

@Bklover It would make so much sense for it to be Cynthia, but the text doesn't seem to support that. We shall see! I'm also dying to know. 2d

rubyslippersreads @Bklover @ElizaMarie Maybe it‘s Harriet. 😆 2d
