Ruthiella Well, this explains the secrecy of it all…somewhat. 8h

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. 8h

ElizaMarie @dabbe my thoughts exactly :) 7h

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 5h

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. 😏 5h

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

4h

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?? 3h

Bklover @rubyslippersreads I agree!! I kind of thought they‘d surprise us! 2h

rubyslippersreads @willaful True, but this particular mystery has been solved. (Unless someone murders Aimee and Osborne remarries. 😂) (edited) 37m

rubyslippersreads Does anyone else think the burden of all that emotional labor contributed to making Mrs. Hamley an invalid in the first place? 😏 (edited) 1d

ElizaMarie I want to meet the wife ! 22h

Bklover @ElizaMarie Me too! I keep wondering if it‘s someone we‘ve already met. 22h

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

20h

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. 20h

rubyslippersreads @Bklover @ElizaMarie Maybe it‘s Harriet. 😆 10h

ElizaMarie Molly!? She is “friend (sister) zoned” and I don‘t think Cynthia really likes Rodger—- 2d

Clare-Dragonfly Oh dear, I sure hope Cynthia isn‘t the secret wife! 2d

mcctrish @ElizaMarie I do feel so badly for Molly - I‘m not sure she likes likes Roger but he won‘t even talk to her and Cynthia could care less about his rambles 2d

mcctrish @dabbe a top 10 hit for sure 🎶🎶🎶 2d

dabbe @AllDebooks 🤩🤣🤗 2d

dabbe @mcctrish IKR? 🤣🎶🤣 2d

Bklover I‘m probably mistaken, but I got the impression that Roger was trying to get to Molly but kept getting snatched up by Cynthia. 2d

Bookwormjillk @ElizaMarie I don‘t think Cynthia likes Roger either. I think she just likes taking what Molly wants. 2d

willaful @Bookwormjillk I don't think I've seen enough of Cynthia to make that argument, though it won't surprise me if it turns out to be true. Cynthia seems pretty shrewd and it's hard to believe she has no idea Molly is developing feelings for Roger.

The omniscient narrator is generally very kind to Cynthia and I'm not sure if we're supposed to believe it or not. 2d

Freezer Burn: A Peri Minneopa Mystery | Gayle Carline

Way behind on my reading, especially for #hashtagbrigade. I thought I‘d get caught up tonight, but my refrigerator had other ideas. The freezer failed so I‘m making soup to use things that were too thawed (and borrowing space in a friend‘s freezer until mine is fixed.) And baking pumpkin bread with the last of the pumpkin purée from last fall. It‘s 92 degrees outside and my house smells like November. ?

Bookwormjillk Ugh it‘s always something 4d

Bookwormjillk I surprised myself by liking Cynthia today. This is a long book huh? 4d

mcctrish I don‘t not like Cynthia but anyone who says they don‘t love anyone but will choose to love Molly seems a bit sketch 4d

ElizaMarie @Ruthiella and the whole sending her away immediately after her daddy died - that Mrs G is not maternal at all!!!! 4d

Bklover I‘m with all of you! Cynthia seems wonderful in spite of the neglect of her mother. Hope it holds up! A teeny bit concerned that they might end up wanting the same guy. @Bookwormjillk @TheAromaofBooks 4d

Clare-Dragonfly Hmm, I‘m reserving judgment on Cynthia. I like her forthrightness, but I‘m nervous about her saying she doesn‘t love anyone! 4d

dabbe I have finally caught up! 🤣🤣🤣 Whew! 😅 Cynthia reminds me of Estella in GREAT EXPECTATIONS: icily cold and knows it. I'm reserving judgment on her as well, though I do like her WAY more than her mother. Holy guacamole on her! 4d

Clare-Dragonfly @Cuilin Ooh, that makes sense! She‘s definitely too low-born for his dad so that would be why he has to keep her secret. 5d

Cuilin @mcctrish exactly!!! 5d

rubyslippersreads @Cuilin @BarkingMadRead I think she might have been pleased before Osborne destroyed the family fortune. 😏 5d

rubyslippersreads I was worried that Molly would go home without any books. (The worst fate a Litten could imagine!) I‘m glad Roger chose some for her. 5d

mcctrish @Bklover same! poor Mrs Hamley thinking she‘d be a better mom to a girl and that‘s why Osbourne turned out bad ☹️ Doc Gibson better smarten up and put his wife in her place or he‘s going to be broke and his daughter will take the first offer out of there 6d

Cuilin @mcctrish yes. Dr Gibson needs to stand up for Molly!! 6d

Bookwormjillk Mr Gibson roaring for lunch instead of standing up to his wife grrrr. 6d

TheAromaofBooks Before I opened this post, I was thinking about this chapter and the word that came to mind was “yikes“ so I thought it was hilarious that that was your first hashtag 😂 But seriously, apparently Mr G just never wants to have to make any decisions about Molly ever again 😑 And the way he makes her call Mrs. G “mamma“ just... ugh 6d

mcctrish @TheAromaofBooks he just wants to come home FOR ONCE and have a meal waiting for him #isottoomuchtoask 6d

TheAromaofBooks @mcctrish - In fairness, it literally is Mrs. G's job and the main reason he got married😂 6d

mcctrish @TheAromaofBooks she‘s banned cheese from the house #thatwasthefirstclue 6d

ElizaMarie @mcctrish ha yes!!! I can‘t think of a good lunch without some cheese so —- why bother!? Mrs G doesn‘t seem to like to hang out with her husband either - just complain when he is out 6d

TheAromaofBooks @mcctrish - Never trust a woman who won't have cheese in the house 😆 @ElizaMarie - She's the same way with Molly. She only wants her because Molly is wanted somewhere else 🙄 6d

willaful @mcctrish absolutely! 2d
