#Pemberlittens #JaneAdjacent Ch.15-16: so glamour is used to hide - certainly in the case of Lady Fitzcameron. It hides her true financial status and in the case of her daughter hides her physical flaws. It‘s clear that Mr. Vincent hates working for her - having to use his art for her gains. What a shame. But I think that has often been the case for artists and their patrons. ⬇️

StayCurious So now Melody is off to Bath, probably to find Captain Livingston. Jane is right - someone needs to watch them in Bath. But I think Jane is fed up with it always falling to her. 16h

willaful Melody is going to get in some much trouble... 14h

julieclair I can only imagine the interesting things that are going to happen in Bath!! This can‘t end well. 13h

mcctrish @willaful she sure is ( maybe Jane and Mr Dunkirk can go and save her from herself but be a bit too late so that saves Beth from #thecadlivingston and allows Melody time to marry him) 13h

mcctrish @julieclair #whathappensinbathstayainbath 13h

vonnie862 Lol your meme! 12h

vonnie862 Aye Melody is going to make such a mess! And poor Jane will probably have to find a way to fix it. 12h

dabbe @Bookwormjillk #amemsista! 😂😂😂 24h

Clare-Dragonfly This is very intense! I keep worrying that Maxim is going to freak out and confess! 23h

Ruthiella I don‘t know…Jan‘s fainting fit might have prevented Maxim from being even more of an imperious and arrogant toff and annoy the magistrate even more… 23h

Ruthiella @Bookwormjillk 🤣🤣🤣 23h

5feet.of.fury Ugh, I have a feeling I know who they might try to pin it on… 4h

#Pemberlittens #JaneAdjacent Ch.13-14:
Poor Mr. Vincent, to feel obliged to his patroness Lady FitzCameron so that he overtaxed himself nearly to the point of death. And to think she won‘t feel even a glimmer of guilt over it. And then, there‘s Melody. It‘s obvious she‘s talking of captain Livingston. Ooh, what a pig he is! He‘s probably got all sorts of secret engagements with all sorts of girls.

willaful Starting to get more of a “Sense and Sensibility“ vibe now, though also some “Emma.“ It would be more interesting if it *isn't* Livingston, but it certainly seems the most plausible. I'm surprised Jane didn't immediately see it, but she doesn't expect people to behave that badly. 2d

BarkingMadRead @willaful I was definitely getting Frank Churchill vibes at first, but now I‘m getting Willoughby vibes. Either way, I don‘t trust Livingston at all! 2d

mcctrish I can absolutely hear Ron Swanson uttering those lines. Captain Livingston is giving me Sir Edward Denham from Sanditon vibes ( in fact that‘s who I picture) melody continues to be insufferable just like her mother 2d

willaful It was interesting to see that magic *does* have some uses in their society. I wonder what else we don't know about yet. 2d

mcctrish @willaful yes! Certainly like the magic healers more than leeches 😬 2d

vonnie862 @willaful yes, Sense and Sensibility for sure. Now poor Mr. Vincent. I'm glad he got help in time. 2d

BarbaraJean Ugh - Lady FitzCameron is so awful. Poor Mr. Vincent. Livingston is indeed shaping up to be quite the cad: secret engagements, mooching money, toying with who knows how many girls' affections! @willaful I'm interested to see other uses for magic as well--the “cold-monger“ seems to be the only application we've seen beyond magical artistry & entertainment. @mcctrish I was worried about Mr. Vincent when the doctor showed up with the leeches!! 1d

Our last day in Disney, and our flight doesn‘t leave until tonight. So I‘m sitting in the lobby with a stack of books. Life is good. I‘ve finished this one, and I‘m moving on to the Robe for a little while 🤣 #austenadjacent I‘m giving this a soft pick #pemberlittens #janeadjacent @StayCurious

5feet.of.fury He certainly didn‘t do himself any favors. They served him a plausible excuse for the initial identification & he brushed it off immediately. Everyone just having an awkward lunch waiting for the other shoe to drop 2d

IndoorDame I‘ve been dying for her to snap out of it and act like this with Mrs. D. but did it really take a murder to get her there?! Jan‘s perspective is all out of whack! 2d

ElizaMarie "I'm afraid it does not concern me very much what Mrs. de Winter used to do," I said. "I am Mrs. de Winter now, you know.” —— ?? 2d

Clare-Dragonfly So this is what it takes to get Jan to grow a backbone! I know it‘s not really the murder, it‘s the belief that Maxim didn‘t love Rebecca. Her priorities are all out of whack. I wonder what exactly Frank knows, and why he is protecting Maxim. 2d

Bookwormjillk Life according to the Colonel: Murder ok poetry bad. This is why rich people get away with crimes. 2d

ElizaMarie @Clare-Dragonfly , I feel like Frank knows pretty much everything. I mean, maybe not the threat of the heir, but Max did it. The secret is safe with Frank, who knows Rebecca's type, her evil, manipulative ways. If he could look the other way as long as he did (unless he just figured it out), he has no plans of coming clean. 2d

5feet.of.fury Also Maxim‘s obsession with Jan looking young and naive is so icky 2d

dabbe @Clare-Dragonfly Especially since Rebecca seems to have had a fling with him as well. Maybe he's in love with Rebecca. That would make things even more interesting. 🧐 2d

willaful @5feet.of.fury Yes. He's never going to allow her to truly mature. 2d

TheAromaofBooks @willaful @5feet.of.fury - I definitely think it's a strong reaction to how horrible his life was with Rebecca who was “worldly,“ a serial cheater, into drugs, etc. His response seems to have been to find someone as “innocent“ as possible and his fear is that as she learns more of the world she'll become another Rebecca. I think his hellish time with Rebecca has left him unable to see that genuine maturity between two reasonable people leads to ⬇ 1d

TheAromaofBooks (cont'd) a working partnership that benefits both people. His experience with women seems to be on a “knows nothing“ to “loves to do drugs, sleep around, and rub it in her husband's face“ scale, so while the whole “she needs to stay innocent“ thing does come off kind of creepy, I think he believes he's protecting both himself and the narrator, rather than holding her back. 1d

5feet.of.fury @TheAromaofBooks I can see what you are saying, makes sense. although we are just taking Max‘s word that Rebecca was all these horrible things… I‘m not sure what to believe from him. If he‘s just told this story now that the murder is out. 1d

Roary47 @5feet.of.fury Right?! I like your thoughts @TheAromaofBooks in him choosing her innocence because it is the opposite of Rebecca. I want to think the best of Max, but he has baggage. He should not have jumped into his relationship with Jan, but here we are. 1d

willaful @5feet.of.fury There are some other indications, like her apparent treatment of Ben, and her moves on Frank -- but there too, there's no real evidence is there? 23h

5feet.of.fury @willaful that‘s true, Frank does strike me as reliable, no hidden agenda towards Jan 20h

willaful @5feet.of.fury I trust him, but if someone wanted to write an “other side of the story“ for Rebecca, they'd have some plausible deniability. 19h

TheAromaofBooks @5feet.of.fury - Oooo great point! I guess I am just taking Maxim at face value because the narrator is. But she hasn't actually proven to be a particularly reliable judge of character so far. 18h

#Pemberlittens #JaneAdjacent Sorry for the late post! Ch.9-12: what an interesting character Vincent is! I‘m not quite sure what to think of him - and neither is Jane. I worry about Captain Livingston and Melody doing something silly. Not sure what yet…but he spends more time with her then is proper I think and Melody loves the attention. And then to find out he is secretly engaged to Beth! What a cad! ⬇️

StayCurious Poor Jane. To be tempted to use glamour to change her appearance. I understand - but I think it‘s a dangerous path to take. Besides - everyone would know what she was doing, just like with Miss Fitzcameron. But hearing mean comments at the dinner, that had to hurt. Poor Vincent-I wonder how often people die or become ill overdoing glamour. clearly Lady Fitzcameron didn‘t care about his health. He‘s like a toy she gets to display at her whim. 3d

Librarybelle I feel bad for Jane. 3d

vonnie862 Ooh I sense drama unfolding! Mr. Livingston is a cad! 3d

willaful Honestly, I was just feeling like the book was dragging and something had better *happen*. I'm not used to fantasy being so plotless, and surely there's some actual uses for their magic besides entertainment? 3d

Princess-Kingofkings I wish Jane thought more of herself. I was excited that she chose to be concealed until I saw it create more concerns for her. 3d

StayCurious @willaful I‘m with you - it is slow. And I was starting to wonder, how is there a series of like 6 books when I can‘t see there being much story to stretch. I hope more happens with the magic. I‘m interested in Vincent‘s background. 3d

mcctrish Well we‘ve got a 🎶you love her but she loves him and he loves somebody else, we just can‘t win 🎶 situation unfolding. Someone needs to intervene on Beth‘s behalf cuz Livingston just lost her allowance. Vincent loves Melody?! Livingston can have Melody, they both suck! 3d

DebinHawaii @mcctrish I agree Beth is too sweet & good for Livingston. He & Melody are better suited as they both seem to be users & losers! 😠 3d

BarkingMadRead Ugh I think Livingston is using Beth for her money, and I think Vincent put Jane in that painting, even though she looks like Melody. It reminds him of their Tableau together, and in the tableau she looked like Melody 3d

julieclair @BarkingMadRead ooohhh… interesting thought about it really being Jane in the tree painting. I do believe Vincent is in love with Jane. 3d

BarbaraJean @BarkingMadRead I thought the same about the “her” in the tree being a reference to Jane instead of Melody. In spite of his brusqueness, Mr. Vincent seems to truly respect and appreciate her. Mr. Dunkirk seems to as well—it‘s frustrating that Jane doesn‘t see those signs because she‘s too insecure—and because she keeps comparing herself to Melody. 2d
