Wives and Daughters | Elizabeth Gaskell
post image
Ruthiella Well, this explains the secrecy of it all…somewhat. 6d
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. 6d

ElizaMarie @dabbe my thoughts exactly :) 6d
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 6d
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. 😏 6d
willaful @rubyslippersreads Well, we do still have HOURS and HOURS of the book left. 😂

5d
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?? 5d
Bklover @rubyslippersreads I agree!! I kind of thought they‘d surprise us! 5d
rubyslippersreads @willaful True, but this particular mystery has been solved. (Unless someone murders Aimee and Osborne remarries. 😂) (edited) 5d
Ruthiella @rubyslippersreads I know! I thought it might have been Lady Harriet…because Rodger mentioned that name much earlier to Molly. 5d

Cuilin I want a movie made of this book just for that scene alone. Hilarious. I get Rev Eager vibes from a Room with a View. 10mo

mcctrish @Cuilin I was totaly thinking how did Merchant Ivory not make this into a film?! 10mo
IndoorDame @Cuilin @mcctrish yes!!! I totally want to watch this scene in a movie version! It would become a priceless cult classic! 10mo
Bookwormjillk Amazing. Maybe my favorite chapter of the year. I don‘t think this can be topped. 10mo
peanutnine @mcctrish 🤣🤣🤣 so perfect! This chapter was a hoot! 10mo
julieclair This chapter was hysterical! Four chapters in, and Elizabeth Bowen has catapulted to my list of best authors of all time. And yes, @mcctrish and @Cuilin , Merchant Ivory dropped the ball… they NEEDED to make a film version! 10mo
Cuilin @julieclair @mcctrish @IndoorDame Surely there is someone we can write to due to this glaring oversight. We need a movie!! 🎥 🍿 10mo

CatLass007 Ohhhh. 2y
Ruthiella I laughed when on purposefully neglecting to tell their husbands about Kieth‘s modeling career, Rowena said, “Men are so narrow minded and catty.” 😂 2y
Bookwormjillk Funny when Sybil was telling them to get a new place. 2y
Bklover Go Sybil!!!! 👏👏💍💒 2y
TheAromaofBooks I'm not surprised they are getting married, but I honestly was a little surprised that she kicked them out! I don't know if Rodney and Wilmet can survive without their Sybil buffer! 2y
dabbe Sybil reminds me of Mame or Cary Grant's mom in NORTH BY NORTHWEST. What a hoot! And what will Wilmeet and Noddy say to each other now? 🤣 2y
rubyslippersreads Well, Noddy and Wilmet have been mooching off Sybil for quite awhile. 😂 2y
AnneCecilie Another twist I didn‘t see coming, I guess I‘m just easily fooled 2y
Cuilin @Ruthiella I laughed too. 2y

If you need a fun literary quiz to distract you today, here‘s a Book Riot quiz to find out which Bennett sister you are!
https://bookriot.com/2018/06/18/pride-and-prejudice-quiz/

(Side note: I was pleased to get Elizabeth this time — I took a version of this quiz on Buzzfeed a while back and got Lydia! 😨 #ohthehorror)

eeclayton I got Kitty, lol 7y
LeeRHarry I got Jane ...mmmm 😏 7y
asiriusreader @eeclayton I‘ll take Kitty over Lydia! 😂 7y
asiriusreader @LeeRHarry I think Jane is underrated! And better than Lydia or Kitty for sure. 7y
