dabbe And now we have a new guy coming to town. Who's this Mr. Donne person going to be? #newmanintown 😱

dabbe @Bookwormjillk 😂😂😂 I tried reading that last part in bed last night and just 💤 my way through it! 7mo

mcctrish In my usual #worstcasescenario vein I assume Donne knows Bellingshit and Ruth will be exposed. I feel bad for Jemima, one can only take so much control. Half of her troubles would be solved by just talking to people but these are the times we are in so no talking allowed. Bradshaw is such a pompous asshole - he‘d rather someone went to debtors prison than offer credit for a month so they could avoid it 7mo

TheBookHippie @Bookwormjillk MY THOUGHTS EXACTLY 😵‍💫🫣 7mo

TheBookHippie @mcctrish 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 7mo

mcctrish @TheBookHippie not to conflate modern politics with these olden days, but I feel like Bradshaw‘s descendants are trying to have a go right now 🤬 7mo

TheBookHippie @dabbe one paragraph and zzzzz finished just now 🫣 7mo

TheBookHippie @mcctrish WORD. 🎯 7mo

Clare-Dragonfly @Bookwormjillk I keep thinking of the hypocritical banker guy from Middlemarch. Bradshaw doesn‘t seem to be that much of a hypocrite but I‘m reserving judgment… 7mo

Aimeesue All that stuff in the chapter and I‘m just sad that Leonard didn‘t get to pick strawberries. 🍓 7mo

dabbe @mcctrish Oh, Mr. Bradshaw's allowed to talk. A. Lot. 🙄 He fits the category of someone with logorrhea, my #weirdwordwednesday word. 😂 7mo

mcctrish @dabbe Bradshaw has got entitled white male-itus but I love your #weirdwordwednesday word ( steam literally comes out my ears whenever I read him speaking, no wonder Jemima is losing her shit ) 7mo

dabbe @mcctrish Agree 💯. 7mo

willaful What a depressing chapter! Jemima is so young and stupid. On the other hand, maybe she could never be happy married to someone so closely associated with her father. 7mo

rubyslippersreads @mcctrish I bet you‘re right. Ruth‘s past has to be revealed somehow, so Mr. Bradshaw can shame her. 7mo

mcctrish @rubyslippersreads that‘s what he lives for 7mo

julieclair @dabbe Logorrhea! 🤣🤣🤣🤣 That might be my new favorite word! 7mo

julieclair @mcctrish Oh my... Your prediction about Mr. Donne is probably right. 😢 Poor poor Ruth. 7mo

dabbe @julieclair I've had it in my head all day! 🤩😂🤗 7mo

BarkingMadRead Sir James is an ass 🤣 2y

IndoorDame They‘re being awful! Especially James!!! 😡🤬 2y

TheBookHippie @BarkingMadRead 😝 😡 2y

Bookwormjillk She‘d be better off without James and Kitty. Ugh, so self centered. 2y

CoffeeNBooks Sir James and Celia are acting like petulant little children. 🙄 @Bookwormjillk - I agree she'd be better off without them! 2y

LitStephanie I had a hard time following the blah blah politics. I think this book was much more interesting to read by British contemporaries. Dodo's second husband is 100% superior to her first and I was happy it worked out! 2y
