Ruthiella OMG, the second kiss. 🥰 I had forgotten it. 1y

Cuilin When it gets a little autobiographical “Even men might suffer from unexplained desires, and need help.” Oh Forster 😔 1y

Cuilin Also apparently the Weald is beautiful or is it George? 1y

mcctrish @Cuilin 🤣🤣 George is getting quite forward with his kiss stealing ( is Miss Bartlett acting all nuts because she‘s already read this bodice ripper of Miss Lavish‘s ?) (edited) 1y

julieclair George is so bold! The kiss! 😍 #DitchCecil 1y

TheBookHippie @mcctrish BODICE RIPPER 💀 1y

TheBookHippie @Cuilin 😝 and need help 😵‍💫😵‍💫 1y

mcctrish @TheBookHippie it doesn‘t take much for Charlotte 🤣🤣 1y

TheBookHippie It‘s very nice of you to put up a pic of my hair style in 1993 😅 1y

TheBookHippie The kiss stealing is life. 1y

BarkingMadRead @Cuilin I think it‘s George 😍 1y

TheBookHippie @mcctrish it is the exact phrasing my mind was hunting for while reading!!! 1y

Crinoline_Laphroaig That hair!😍 1y

Cuilin @mcctrish Charlotte knows!! 1y

Cuilin @TheBookHippie He was gay and had lovers but of course couldn‘t be very public about it. “ unexplained desires” I find it interesting when self disclosure finds an outlet or slips in a novel. 1y

Clare-Dragonfly Cecil is insufferable. @Cuilin Very interesting, I didn‘t know that! 1y

dabbe Oh, these characters and their drama! I love it! 🤩🤣😀 1y

Bklover @Cuilin I didn‘t know that! 1y

Bklover George is becoming quite the kisser! 1y

mcctrish Also Cecil “when you think of me, where am I?” Lucy #inaroomwithoutaview 1y

dabbe Instead of being on the end of the kite-string of Charlotte, she'll be on the end of Cecil's. Guess his last name says it all: Vys-->Vice. #runlucyrun 1y

Cuilin #whatreallyhappenedinRome? #whyshesayYes #CecilbadKisser #cringe 1y

Crinoline_Laphroaig That kiss is so cringe and sus. 🤢 1y

Clare-Dragonfly Umm, Cecil, has anyone ever mentioned to you that you‘re supposed to LIKE the person you‘re marrying? And she‘s supposed to like you, so maybe stop insulting her and her family? 1y

Bookwormjillk Cecil yuck. And also beware of canaries 🐤🐦🐤🐦🐤🐦 1y

dabbe Class distinctions here, class distinctions there, class distinctions everywhere! Gee, why does Lucy see you only in a room without a view, Cecil? And we all know what Lucy yearns for--a room WITH a view--if only she can cut the proverbial strings! Mr. Bebe knows this: “If Miss Honeychurch ever takes to live as she plays, it will be very exciting both for us and for her.“ That's what we're waiting for, right? #teamgeorge #georgeandlucy #byececil 1y

Bklover @dabbe Exactly! I can‘t stand Cecil, and I‘m getting quite annoyed at Lucy too! 1y

julieclair Wake up, Lucy! #inaroomwithoutaview is your future of you marry #CecilbadKisser . #ditchCecil 1y

Crinoline_Laphroaig I'm a chapter behind but #CecilIsSoObviouslyGay. 1y

Chapter 8: ew. I can‘t. Apparently, neither can anyone else 🤣 #whyyyyyyy #threetimesshouldnotbethecharm #whysotheyskipaheadsomuch #imsoirritated #freddyishysterical #listentofreddy #freddyknowsall #justsayno #whatcouldgowrong #GEORGEwhereareyou #pemberlittens #hashtagbrigade

Morr_Books So I haven't seen the movie in years. Is that what the fiancé looks like in the movie version? #ewwww 1y

BarkingMadRead @Morr_Books this is what came up when I googled him, so I guess so! 1y

BarkingMadRead @Morr_Books I just checked IMDb and this is the Cecil in the HBC version 1y

Ruthiella @Morr_Books That‘s him! Daniel Day Lewis. He played the prig Cecil Vyse to perfection. 😃 1y

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. 1y

Morr_Books @Ruthiella That is Daniel Day Lewis???!!! 🤯 1y

TheBookHippie 🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮 1y

mcctrish I seriously thought I‘d screwed up my kindle 😡 #whereisgeorge #freddyisawesome #morefreddynocecil #whatthehellislucythinking 1y

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) 1y

BarkingMadRead @Bklover yes! I was so confused, I kept expecting them to switch back to Rome. WTF?!?! 1y

Bklover @BarkingMadRead I hope your daughter knows how much fun we have here! (edited) 1y

BarkingMadRead @Bklover she‘s actually on Litsy, although she rarely posts! @Princess.ofthe.pages 1y

Ruthiella @Morr_Books As my sister says, “Daniel Day Lewis could put on a hoop skirt and play Scarlett O‘Hara convincingly.” 🤣 1y

Bklover Went to follow her and I already do! 1y

Bookwormjillk This chapter was so abrupt. I feel like Rome stolen from us 🤣 1y

Cuilin #lovefreddy played by a very young and beautiful Robert Graves 1y

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! 1y

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 😂😂😂 1y

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. 1y

mcctrish @Clare-Dragonfly that‘s exactly how I interpreted ‘ideal bachelor‘ 1y

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. 1y

dabbe @Ruthiella The same DDL who was a stud in THE LAST OF THE MOHICANS? #wtf? (excuse my French). 😀🤣🤩 1y

julieclair I‘m listening on audio and seriously thought a large chunk of the book had been left out! #whathappenedtorome #whathappenedINrome #ditchcecil 1y
