mcctrish I‘m so happy for Molly to feel happy ❤️ Cynthia is engaged to 2 men #thattracks is she using her money to pay off his debts and keep him quiet ? 10h
Ruthiella I too am so pleased that Molly can spend some quality time with her father. The reader also feels the relief of Mrs. Gibson‘s absence. 9h

willaful @Ruthiella yes, very much so. Though I kind of hate all the kindly neighbors for not leaving them be. Again I'm reminded of Austen, this time in the way your time is not your own. 7h
Cuilin The social calls are eating into #DaddyDaughterTime @Ruthiella yes I‘m enjoying my own break from Mrs Gibson 😆 (edited) 7h
ElizaMarie That Cynthia - ugh! Her juggling men totally tracks @mcctrish 5h
mcctrish @Ruthiella reading about #notarealclare processing how to get her way is exhausting 5h

Mansfield Park | Jane Austen

Rehearsals are in full swing and stirring up jealousies like nobody's business! Henry is all over Maria, pissing off both Julia and Mr. Rushworth, and Edmund is falling for Mary more each day, which has Fanny straight-up vexed. She's also in her feelings about Mrs. Grant who took on Cottager's Wife is now loved by everyone while Fanny is increasingly ignored and isolated. But soon none of this will matter because uh-oh...Sir Thomas has returned!

Crinoline_Laphroaig I love that Lady B, who never notices anything, is the first to spill the beans. 20h

This book was just as cute as the first one!

I read the first Winnie the Pooh book 2 years ago and was obsessed. I am so glad I got around to reading the sequel. It had all the charm of its predecessor. Pooh and all his friends were (still) so adorable. In this story, we are finally introduced to Tigger. Tigger was an absolute delight.

mcctrish Well we know #notarealclare will get her way, Cynthia‘s going to ever loving lose her shit as the circle widens regarding her betrothal, the squire will lose the family homestead for sure what with Osborne‘s poor French wife, imminent death ( I have no idea but I feel like this tragedy is going to be all or nothing) and Roger will have to marry Cynthia because everyone knows 1d

Ruthiella If you want something to be kept a secret , tell no one! Sheesh! Pretty soon everyone will know she‘s “engaged” sort of to Roger! 1d
willaful Ugh, so manipulative! 1d
dabbe #notarealclare is so manipulative! And she's so nauseatingly sweet on top of it that it makes her even more vicious! 😤 1d

One of the reasons I love and prefer the Norton Critical Editions of classics is the (hefty) footnotes instead of endnotes. I detest flipping to the back of the book to read them.

Also, rereading this cause I adored it when I read it for a Humanities class.

Edmund remains totally disapproving of the whole home am-dram concept, but when Tom suggests bringing in some rando to join the fun, he's absolutely aghast. The impropriety! Tom also tries to get Fanny to join in, but our girl's morals are iron-clad and she refuses. The same cannot be said for Edmund who decides that joining in himself would be the lesser of two evils and in a total weaksauce move, he tries to get Fanny to absolve him. Boy, bye.

Crinoline_Laphroaig Edmund acting like he's just doing it to save Mary Crawford's feelings which he just jealous. He's such a love struck fool 2d
Andrea313 @Crinoline_Laphroaig Exactly, and on top of it all, he gets to congratulate himself for "saving" her honor. Edmund is at his absolute worst here. ? 2d

7-8-25: A is A Love, Daddy. My father loved quoting Aristotle and this one was a constant. So in honor of his upcoming birthday , he would have been 89 if he were still alive, I had my existing tattoo enhanced and his birth month flowers, water lily and larkspur, added. I love you Daddy, always💖📖💖

mcctrish Things that make you go hmmm the money is tied to Preston #ijustknowit 2d
Ruthiella What is this money for? Is she being blackmailed? 2d

Cuilin Was Cynthia promised to Preston? Was there money involved? Intriguing 🤨 2d
willaful The blackmail theory is looking stronger and stronger. 2d
eeclayton Is Cynthia old enough to have a secret child? I thought she might be sending money to support a child maybe? Or is this far-fetched? 2d
dabbe @Ruthiella That's what I think! 🎯🩵🎯 2d
willaful @eeclayton oooo, interesting theory... 2d
ElizaMarie @mcctrish I agree- I think this has something to do with Preston 2d
Clare-Dragonfly I agree with everyone that this must have something to do with Preston! But what? He can‘t need money, certainly not the little bits of money that she would be able to give him. And why? So mysterious… 2d
rubyslippersreads @Ruthiella That was my first thought. 2d
julieclair Ooohhhh…. @Cuilin , What an intriguing thought! 🤔 1d
