BarkingMadRead @CatLass007 that‘s amazing 13mo

TheBookHippie The picture 😂😂😂😂 their expressions 😂😂😂😂😂 all I keep thinking in my head is gossipy church folk 🤷🏻‍♀️😂😵‍💫👀🤦🏻‍♀️ 13mo

BarkingMadRead @TheBookHippie it was the first one to pop up, I don‘t usually get this lucky! My Google game is strong, but not always this strong 🤣🤣🤣 13mo

CatLass007 I think it‘s mostly the nose and somewhat the mouth. 13mo

Cuilin I‘m putting this🏳️‍🌈 here for Piers because that‘s that‘s what I‘m picking up. Anybody else? @Bklover 13mo

TheBookHippie @Cuilin 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈 13mo

BarkingMadRead @Cuilin for sure!!! 13mo

TheAromaofBooks My favorite part was that she's mad because her husband didn't read her mind and bring her home a present. 🙄 🙄 🙄 13mo

Bookwormjillk @Cuilin yup!! 13mo

Bookwormjillk @TheAromaofBooks and then she used that as an excuse to think about other men 13mo

Bklover @Cuilin Yes!!🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈 13mo

julieclair I think it was Piers' lover who answered the phone. 🏳️‍🌈 And what the heck, Wilmet? Miffed that Harry hasn't asked you for another date! This woman really is something. 13mo

dabbe @Cuilin #fersure 🏳️‍🌈💚🏳️‍🌈 13mo

dabbe And the conversation between Rowena and Wilmet about Harry? Just a wee bit awkward. Though the way these women talk to each other (well, the men, too, for that matter) reminds me of Wharton's upper class New Yorkers in the Gilded Age. The pic for today NAILED it, @BarkingMadRead! 🤩 13mo

Aimeesue Perfect pic! 😂 13mo

CoffeeNBooks I'm curious as to why Chettam thought it would have been ok for Dorothea to decide to marry him, but that she's too young to make the decision to marry Casaubon. ? I love Mr. Cadwallader's description of Mr. Brooke as "pulpy, he will run into any mould but he won't keep shape." ? 2y

SamAnne I'm loving Mrs. Cadwallader. She's my favorite character so far. 2y

inthegreensandblues @SamAnne She's very entertaining! I liked her joke about his blood under the microscope being found to be all semicolons and parentheses.🤭 2y

eeclayton @CoffeeNBooks I loved that description too! 😁 I'm not sure he meant that Dorothea should have chosen him, rather that it shouldn't have been her choice in the first place but Mr Brooke's, who is supposed to be wiser. 2y

BarkingMadRead @eeclayton 🙄🙄 wouldn‘t want a girl to think for herself! 2y

Bklover @SamAnne Me too! She‘s a character! 2y

Bklover @eeclayton oh, I hadn‘t thought of that! I‘ll bet you‘re right about him thinking that Mr Brooke should be selecting the spouses. (Since we are all weak, feeble minded and empty headed 🙄) (edited) 2y

Bookwormjillk When they said he had a trout stream does he actually have his own stream he fills with trout or was that a euphemism for something? 2y

TheAromaofBooks @Bookwormjillk - I believe he means a literal stream with trout for fishing. I believe they only like specific conditions, so not every stream would be ideal for them. Mr. Gardiner in P&P also was excited about Darcy's good trout streams, so apparently it was a not-unpopular hobby haha 2y

BarkingMadRead @Bookwormjillk @TheAromaofBooks I agree, literal trout stream. Which is funny, because they are amused by that and impressed by that, but women are dumb and need direction 🤷🏻‍♀️ 2y

Clare-Dragonfly 😂😂😂 2y

Bookwormjillk @BarkingMadRead @TheAromaofBooks thanks. Gonna find me a man with a trout stream. 2y

JamieArc I quite like Mr. Cadwallader! To Chettam: “[Women] don‘t admire you half so much as you admire yourselves.” 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 2y

CoffeeNBooks @eeclayton Thank you- that makes more sense! 2y

CoffeeNBooks @BarkingMadRead 😂 2y

TheAromaofBooks @Bookwormjillk - In fairness, trout love clear, healthy water, so maybe judging a man by his trout stream isn't too bad of an idea 😂 2y
