Ruthiella I‘m kind of proud of old Bob too. Aunt G. was so rude and condescending. 4h

mcctrish Bob knows a thing or two about 4h

Leftcoastzen That damn family ! So condescending! Tom is really trying, Bob is helping, yet still worried about them 3h

Bookwormjillk Loved it. Go Bob. 3h

TheAromaofBooks This chapter made me sad because it doesn't seem like there is any way that this is actually going to end up being a happy situation 1d

Ruthiella @TheAromaofBooks I share your trepidation! I feel like a cloud is hanging over everyone…lightning is coming…😬 1d

Clare-Dragonfly Sheesh, all these things they can‘t do because it would make Tom or #tetchytully mad! 1d

mcctrish @Clare-Dragonfly I‘m not sure #snakeywakey would approve either but getting them together would solve everything #gettheteapotsback 1d

ElizaMarie @TheAromaOfBooks I also thought this chapter was so sad. It sucks that Maggie and Phillip can't live their lives without their families being all butt hurt. Very #RomeoAndJuliet vibes here. Also poor girl #MaggieREAD please girl, go back to books! 1d

Leftcoastzen Made me sad too. Maggie is painfully aware of her diminished station in life ,trying to muddle through. A cloud hanging over everything, so true. Every relationship is tainted by the drama of the past. 11h

ElizaMarie @mcctrish EXACTLY 4d

Leftcoastzen Like sands through the hourglass! 😁 4d

KAO I kept having to reread sentences, as my mind wandered pitifully during this short chapter. Thank goodness this didn‘t go on longer! I liked the last bit, however, about how the spiritual seed of wisdom didn‘t find fertile ground (or “hooks”) in Mr. Tulliver and simply blew away without taking hold. More foreshadowing, I presume! 4d

Bookwormjillk I know I read this chapter but I don‘t remember a bit. #MovingOn 4d

dabbe Agree 💯 @BarkingMadRead @mcctrish @Leftcoastzen @KAO @Bookwormjillk #shadesoflarkrise #boring 🥱🫩😴💤 4d

Ruthiella It was a lot of bla bla bla only to show that Mr. Tulliver is unchristian in thought, if not in deed. 4d

julieclair I listened while driving and admit I mostly tuned it out. 🤣 2d

Poems and Prose | Christina Rossetti, Simon Humphries

When I am dead, my dearest,/sing no sad songs for me;/plant thou no roses at my head,/nor shady cypress tree:

be the green grass above me/with showers and dew drop wet;/and if thou wilt, remember,/and if thou wilt, forget.

I shall not see the shadows,/I shall not feel the rain;/I shall not hear the nightingale/sing on, as if in pain:/and dreaming through the twilight/that doth not rise nor set,/haply I may remember,/and haply may forget.
