CoffeeNBooksI'm curious as to why Chettam thought it would have been ok for Dorothea to decide to marry him, but that she's too young to make the decision to marry Casaubon. ? I love Mr. Cadwallader's description of Mr. Brooke as "pulpy, he will run into any mould but he won't keep shape." ?1y

SamAnneI'm loving Mrs. Cadwallader. She's my favorite character so far.1y
inthegreensandblues@SamAnne She's very entertaining! I liked her joke about his blood under the microscope being found to be all semicolons and parentheses.🤭1y
eeclayton@CoffeeNBooks I loved that description too! 😁 I'm not sure he meant that Dorothea should have chosen him, rather that it shouldn't have been her choice in the first place but Mr Brooke's, who is supposed to be wiser.1y
Bklover@eeclayton oh, I hadn‘t thought of that! I‘ll bet you‘re right about him thinking that Mr Brooke should be selecting the spouses. (Since we are all weak, feeble minded and empty headed 🙄)(edited) 1y
BookwormjillkWhen they said he had a trout stream does he actually have his own stream he fills with trout or was that a euphemism for something?1y
TheAromaofBooks@Bookwormjillk - I believe he means a literal stream with trout for fishing. I believe they only like specific conditions, so not every stream would be ideal for them. Mr. Gardiner in P&P also was excited about Darcy's good trout streams, so apparently it was a not-unpopular hobby haha1y
BarkingMadRead@Bookwormjillk@TheAromaofBooks I agree, literal trout stream. Which is funny, because they are amused by that and impressed by that, but women are dumb and need direction 🤷🏻♀️1y
