TheBookHippie The chapter titles are as entertaining as the story … 👀😂😅 #norhymeorreason 1y
BarkingMadRead @TheBookHippie seriously!! Everything that went on and the title is about a boiler?!?! 1y
TheBookHippie @BarkingMadRead I‘m laughing every morning with my chapter 😅😂😵‍💫 #makeitmakesense 1y
Cuilin “We don‘t want no dessert” speak for yourself Cecil. #whataLoadofTwaddle 1y
BarkingMadRead @Cuilin I was highly offended by this comment. Don‘t ever speak for a girl and her dessert! 🎂 🧁 🍪 1y
Bklover “We don‘t want no dessert”? How about “We don‘t want dessert” or “We don‘t want any dessert”!! If you‘re going to be such a prig at least use proper grammar! Oh, and I laughed through this whole chapter. Poor Lucy trying to appease everyone and at the same time hide all her little secrets. Go Lucy for finally speaking the truth about Charlotte and Go Freddy for being endlessly entertaining. I‘m getting very attached to Freddy! 1y
julieclair I am still mystified as to why Lucy agreed to marry Cecil. 1y
peanutnine @Bklover Freddy is the best 1y
Clare-Dragonfly Cecil… please go away. @Bklover I took that as him parodying uneducated people, or maybe children? I know he wasn‘t just being straightforward because he‘s too much of a jerk 🙄 1y
dabbe I love how Lucy perceives George greeted her “with the shout of the morning star.” What a lovely line! And I think it was important that their next meeting took place out in nature, a place with many views. Back at home, she goes to change for dinner, looks through a window, and can't find a view. C'mon, Lucy. Figure it out! We're all pulling for you! #lasttimeaboilerwasinastoryformewastheshining 🔥 1y
Bklover @dabbe And we all know how That boiler turned out! I have faith in Lucy. She can‘t possibly marry Cecil. She just can‘t. 1y
mcctrish Charlotte is set to stir the pot ( I find her insufferable but if she sets the demise of Cecil in motion 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻) also Mrs Honeychurch DOES NOT get to diss Cecil after all the fuss about getting Lucy engaged to him 1y

TheBookHippie OMG these peoples 😵‍💫 1y
TheAromaofBooks It especially blows my mind that Cecil thinks he's the open-minded one for inviting “lower class“ people to come and live there 🙃 *edited because I totally spaced on Cecil's name and put him down as Cyrus* 😂 (edited) 1y

mcctrish #quotingtheservants the fiasco lives up to his name #donttellmewhattodo 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 1y
Cuilin @TheAromaofBooks I also try to forget Cecil. 😑 1y
TheBookHippie Priggish comes to mind 😵‍💫 1y
Ruthiella He only sees Lucy as someone to be molded and reflect him back to himself. He does not appreciate her as her own person at all. (edited) 1y
peanutnine So proud of Lucy for telling off Charlotte! How she still manages to meddle when she's not even there baffles me 🙄 1y
Bklover Charlotte needs to stay in her own web. 🕷️🕸️ 1y
ravenlee @TheAromaofBooks he doesn‘t deserve the attention required to keep his name straight. Ugh. 1y
Crinoline_Laphroaig Cecil is such a prig! 1y
dabbe @TheAromaofBooks Probably because Cyrus rhymes with “virus“. 😀 Cyrus Vys. #perfect 🤩🤩🤩 1y
dabbe @Bklover Nice allusion! 🤩😍🤩 Or she needs to start spinning words in favor of Wilbur, I mean George. #thatllneverhappen 1y
Clare-Dragonfly You could have said that every chapter so far! 😂 1y
BarkingMadRead @Clare-Dragonfly I feel that in my soul 🤣🤣 1y
Bookwormjillk These people are a trip. Loved Lucy telling Charlotte off. No one reads my mail Charlotte. 1y

Chapter 9: 🤮 Cecil judges Lucy‘s family, and …. Well…. Everyone 🤷🏻‍♀️ #ihatehim #wheresgeorge #sopretentious #haveimentionedgeorge #thatkisswasawkward #unlikegeorge #george #pemberlittens #hashtagbrigade

Ruthiella Such an awkward kiss. 😱 1y
eeclayton What is wrong with her? How could she get engaged to this man? 1y

mcctrish Also Cecil “when you think of me, where am I?” Lucy #inaroomwithoutaview 1y
dabbe Instead of being on the end of the kite-string of Charlotte, she'll be on the end of Cecil's. Guess his last name says it all: Vys-->Vice. #runlucyrun 1y
Crinoline_Laphroaig That kiss is so cringe and sus. 🤢 1y
Clare-Dragonfly Umm, Cecil, has anyone ever mentioned to you that you‘re supposed to LIKE the person you‘re marrying? And she‘s supposed to like you, so maybe stop insulting her and her family? 1y
Bookwormjillk Cecil yuck. And also beware of canaries 🐤🐦🐤🐦🐤🐦 1y
dabbe Class distinctions here, class distinctions there, class distinctions everywhere! Gee, why does Lucy see you only in a room without a view, Cecil? And we all know what Lucy yearns for--a room WITH a view--if only she can cut the proverbial strings! Mr. Bebe knows this: “If Miss Honeychurch ever takes to live as she plays, it will be very exciting both for us and for her.“ That's what we're waiting for, right? #teamgeorge #georgeandlucy #byececil 1y
Bklover @dabbe Exactly! I can‘t stand Cecil, and I‘m getting quite annoyed at Lucy too! 1y
julieclair Wake up, Lucy! #inaroomwithoutaview is your future of you marry #CecilbadKisser . #ditchCecil 1y
Crinoline_Laphroaig I'm a chapter behind but #CecilIsSoObviouslyGay. 1y

KristiAhlers She legit was having none of it 2y
BarkingMadRead @KristiAhlers I was so proud of her 2y
See All 13 Comments
KristiAhlers @BarkingMadRead me too. Especially considering the time period. Women didn‘t have much say in things and the church was also very much in control of things even then. 2y
IndoorDame SO proud of her this chapter! Though there‘s that tiny voice in the back of my head reminding me that the Protestant church genuinely thought the Catholics were just as evil and were just as frightened of them, so on some level she‘s probably still being controlled by men and religion, just one‘s back home in England. 2y
peanutnine I appreciated how she admitted to being moved by the pamphlet but was still like nope, not for me thanks 2y
Bookwormjillk Go Lucy! 2y
RebelReader What made my heart happy was that she didn‘t cave to the approval of these men! Even though I think @IndoorDame makes a valid point, I still think it took guts to not give into Pere and Paul pressure. (edited) 2y
Clare-Dragonfly I was hoping you would get a picture of a spaniel for this chapter 😆 2y
BarkingMadRead @Clare-Dragonfly the spaniel was in the works until the whole religion thing happened 🤣🤣🐶🐶 2y
Bklover Good grief. I‘m glad she didn‘t cave, like the rest of you. Sometimes it seems like there aren‘t too many things that M Paul actually likes about Lucy. @IndoorDame you have a good point! @KristiAhlers @peanutnine @Bookwormjillk @RebelReader 2y
Bklover @Clare-Dragonfly the spaniel is a great idea!😂 2y
Bklover @BarkingMadRead Great photo! I‘m really tired of MPaul treating her like crap. I agree- she needs to run Lucy run! 🏃🏻‍♀️ 2y

IndoorDame He had better not be the marrying kind! I‘m still skeptical 🧐 2y
peanutnine @IndoorDame I'm also very skeptical. He's so creepy but she seems drawn to him for some reason 2y

Bookwormjillk See yesterday I thought they were going to get married. Today I think he‘s her dad. 2y
BarkingMadRead @Bookwormjillk I wondered the same! He insinuated they were related somehow! 2y
Bookwormjillk @BarkingMadRead they have the same eyes! 2y
RebelReader I think they are related too. I thought that whole scene was creepy, but then this whole book has been all kinds of creepy. 🤪 2y
Clare-Dragonfly I was pleased to see Lucy snap back at him a little, but he hardly seems to have noticed! And she‘s always getting over his nastiness, so she‘ll probably get over his voyeurism, too 🙄 I am glad to be reminded of their separate religions, though. I don‘t think either will convert so I‘m less concerned that she will marry him. 2y
Clare-Dragonfly @Bookwormjillk Ooh, maybe! I think he just means they are mystically connected but that is an intriguing possibility. 2y
Ruthiella I agree they will never marry due to the differences in religion. But yes, this is TOTALLY CREEPY! 😱 2y
Bklover He‘s just such an ass! I highlighted this comment he made- paraphrasing- A woman of intellect was a sort of luckless accident, a thing there was neither place nor use in creation, wanted neither as wife nor worker. The next part is awful too, talking about how only lovely feminine placid passive mediocrity was the only pillow on which a manly thought could find rest for his aching temples. I really really dislike that man. (edited) 2y
BarkingMadRead @Bklover I cannot get over what an ass he is! 2y
