willaful I KNEW IT! About why NotClare her mind about Roger. She is so gross! 1w

Cuilin This book is so good. My mind is going in so many different directions. But what if…. And then…, and therefore…that would mean …. Fabulous!! 1w

willaful NotClare absolutely deserves to marry Cynthia off to Roger and then be upstaged by Osborne's heir. Except that would be too cruel to Roger. I hope he gets over this infatuation. 1w

mcctrish @willaful I hope #notarealclare marries Cynthia off in the next 2 years #rogerhastomarryformoney 1w

dabbe I'm still in the hopeful Molly + Roger camp. 🤞🏻 1w

Bookwormjillk Doc handled the squire perfectly. That‘s the kind of thing I would only think to say hours later when I was fuming in bed unable to sleep. 1w

Butterfinger I adore Jonathan Bailey. 1w

Clare-Dragonfly Yikes. I hope Mr. Gibson is wrong about Osborne‘s illness. After all, he doesn‘t have the full picture. 1w

mcctrish @Clare-Dragonfly if Osborne is sick Roger needs to make sure all the paperwork is legit re:the marriage 1w

rubyslippersreads @Butterfinger Me too. This picture certainly brightened up my day. 😁 1w

BarkingMadRead @Butterfinger @rubyslippersreads I‘m obsessed, he was really good in Jurassic world, so fun to watch 1w

Lcsmcat @dabbe Me too! Cynthia would not make anyone happy ultimately. She‘s too shallow. 1w

willaful @dabbe Oh absolutely! That would be the happy ending. But I also don't want him to marry Cynthia, because she's not capable of making him happy. 1w

dabbe @Lcsmcat 🎯🩵🎯 1w

dabbe @willaful 🩵🎯🩵 1w

Clare-Dragonfly @mcctrish But Roger has just gone off on his new dangerous job… 😬 7d

mcctrish @Clare-Dragonfly I know! Did he have time ? If Roger is Jonathon Bailey, and I sure hope he is despite the squire‘s descriptions of him, he needs to stay safe and come home and marry Molly 7d

ElizaMarie @Bookwormjillk :) I like to relive convos in the shower 🚿 7d

julieclair I am definitely on Team Molly + Roger! 6d

willaful I loved this line: “if this ungenerous though of Osborne's had been set clearly before his conscience, he would have smote his breast and cried 'Mea culpa' with the best of them; it was only that he was too indolent to keep an unassisted conscience.“ 1w

julieclair I feel like I‘m saying #poormolly in every chapter. I just want to reach through the pages and give her a hug! And give everyone else a good talking to. 1w

dabbe And the fact that Molly wants Roger to be happy--even at the expense of her happiness-- just gets me. 😩 Harriet sees what a gem she is. I cling to that. 1w

Clare-Dragonfly OSBORNE. 1w

Lcsmcat @willaful “unassisted conscience” isa great phrase! 1w

willaful @dabbe Harriet seems very perceptive, except she seems to accept #NotARealClare at face value... 1w

ElizaMarie @julieclair and @dabbe Molly is too good for all of them! 1w

julieclair @ElizaMarie 🎯 1w

Bklover @dabbe Those are my thoughts exactly. I think Cynthia sees Molly too. Cynthia just seems to be rather broken. 1w

dabbe @Bklover Agree 💯. 1w

julieclair Osborne is not my favorite, but I give him some credit for trying to drum it into his father‘s head that the invitation really is for Roger, on Roger‘s own merit. 2w

Ruthiella Well, this explains the secrecy of it all…somewhat. 2w

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. 2w

See All 11 Comments

ElizaMarie @dabbe my thoughts exactly :) 2w

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 2w

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. 😏 2w

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

2w

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?? 2w

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

rubyslippersreads @willaful True, but this particular mystery has been solved. (Unless someone murders Aimee and Osborne remarries. 😂) (edited) 2w

Ruthiella @rubyslippersreads I know! I thought it might have been Lady Harriet…because Rodger mentioned that name much earlier to Molly. 2w

Bookwormjillk I can see not wanting to bail them out with money- they seem bad at that. But give the kid a job for Pete‘s sake! 3mo

Clare-Dragonfly They are all so mean! I wish it had occurred to Tom to mention that he‘s good at drawing, especially things like buildings. I bet that could get him a good start. 3mo

Leftcoastzen Much better to have less family than a family like this ! Poor Tom trying to do what he can while listening to Uncle belittling his education. 2mo

TheAromaofBooks @Bookwormjillk - I felt the same way! I get that you don't want to hand a pile of money to people who have proven that they aren't going to use it wisely, but Tom is genuinely trying to make good and start providing for his mom and sister, and I thought it was dreadful the way his uncle just blew him off. 2mo

ElizaMarie This chapter felt very current to me. It's like kiddos get an education and then can't get a job with their education. I know it's not the same, but it got me thinking about how some college courses/majors do not translate to the working world. I feel so bad for Tom - also this #TheirFamilySucks ! 2mo

KAO Whew. That chapter was rather long and somewhat tedious (though I liked the bit of life reflection in the last lines). Maybe the feeling that this chapter would never end parallels Tom‘s feeling about this long and tedious academic term. 3mo

Leftcoastzen When I was reading all the back & forth with the aunts , I‘m thinking why do they put up with them , especially Gregg . The Tullivers just seem more down to earth.

Ruthiella I read many years ago somewhere that Count Fosco was an influence on the Bond villain, Bloefeld (the one with the white cat). I see the connection. Charming but deadly. Fond of animals. 4mo
