The Mysteries of Udolpho | Ann Radcliffe

#wondrouswednesday
@Eggs (thanks for the tag! 😍)

1. I still can cry over BREAKING THE CHAIN: THE GUARD DOG STORY: a comic book by Patrick McDonnell, the creator of MUTTS. So poignant!
2. The tagged: THE MYSTERIES OF UDOLPHO. #ugh I couldn't even get through this one with the #hashtagbrigade! That's really saying something! 🤣

Eggs Not familiar with either one ☝️ Thx for joining in 💖 12h

dabbe @Eggs You're lucky re: the 2nd one. 🤩 6h

dabbe I just despise the derogatory terms used against poor Phil and his back. I know those were the words, but still ... in the #ShardlakeBR series, the lawyer, Shardlake, calls himself a hunchback as does pretty much everyone else--even Henry VIII in an extremely volatile way. #peoplecanbesocruel 1d

Clare-Dragonfly I hope they become friends and Philip helps Tom with his Latin and drawing! I like Philip, but that‘s probably because I was a shy, bookish kid like him… and because him having a hunch due to a childhood accident makes me think of Mr Benson, the minister from

Ruth: a novel

(edited) 1d

BarkingMadRead @Clare-Dragonfly I was thinking of him as well! 1d

ElizaMarie I‘m so confused about the point of this book!? 1d

BarkingMadRead @ElizaMarie is there one?!? 🤣🤣 24h

Bookwormjillk @ElizaMarie it might be a Lark Rise type book with no point. At least that‘s what it reminds me of. 23h

dabbe New hashtag name: #tetchytully or #testytully Anyone like either? 2d

BarkingMadRead #tetchytully gets my vote 🤣 @dabbe 2d

Bookwormjillk @dabbe #tetchytully because it makes me think of the Teletubbies which adds something to the book 2d

dabbe @Bookwormjillk @BarkingMadRead I think it's more fun-sounding out loud, too! 🤣 It could even sound like #touchytully! 2d

Clare-Dragonfly @Bookwormjillk Yup 😂 2d

mcctrish I love it #tetchytully he always has a bee in his bonnet 2d

ElizaMarie Oooo love this @dabbe 2d

dabbe @ElizaMarie @BarkingMadRead @Bookwormjillk @mcctrish #tetchytully it is! 🤣🤣🤣 1d

Leftcoastzen I just feel Tully is always upset because he‘s not rich , he has just enough money to worry about it . Diverting water from the mill threatens his livelihood. He doesn‘t have enough money to be connected as to advice, is this a good educator? Is this a good lawyer. 8h

dabbe To be the only student ... YIKES! And (gasp) Tom behaves like a girl and actually has his hubris stomped on a little bit. I think it's a good lesson for him--even though his actual lessons are 😱! 3d

KAO Whew. That chapter was rather long and somewhat tedious (though I liked the bit of life reflection in the last lines). Maybe the feeling that this chapter would never end parallels Tom‘s feeling about this long and tedious academic term. 3d

TheAromaofBooks I actually found myself liking Tom for the first time in this chapter. 3d

Bookwormjillk I‘ll admit it. It‘s Monday. I skimmed. 3d

ElizaMarie Tom can‘t ever let Maggie have any props 3d

Morr_Books I wish I had learned more languages when I was younger, but Latin was never one of them 2d

Bookwormjillk Bye Tom 👋 The short chapters made this a good pick for chapter a day IMO. 4d

Clare-Dragonfly I‘m glad Maggie didn‘t get any deeper into trying to teach them than she did, or they might have gotten upset! As it is they were kind people. 6d

julieclair @mcctrish Agreed. She learned a bit about the world. And thankfully made it home safe and sound! 6d

Bookwormjillk I had to laugh at the idea of Maggie just running into her Dad. That must have been a shock. 6d

ElizaMarie I love the fact that she really thought she would be fit to be Queen of the Gypsies 5d

Morr_Books @ElizaMarie 🤣 Don't know that the thimble was enough to buy her that role. 5d

Leftcoastzen Imagine! No tea ! How COULD someone be queen of the Gypsies & live that way ? 😁They were ultimately kind, her father was beside himself 5d

dabbe Wonder how long Mrs. T and Tom will leave Maggie alone? 🤔 Bets, anyone? 5d

ElizaMarie @Bookwormjillk YES AGAIN with the drowning! I mean. they should do a swim lesson here and there to keep this fear at bay. I am so OVER Tom. He is such a jerk. I hate how poor Maggie tries so hard! 6d
