mcctrish Victorian justice is a sham! #donneisadouche 2mo
IndoorDame Somewhat surprised to learn he has no legal rights to the kid at this time. Still such a creep!!!!! 🤬🤬🤬🤬 2mo

Ruthiella But kudos to Mr. Benson for dressing Donne/Bellingham down and shutting the door in his face. I think Gaskell wrote the whole novel so she could get away with that condemnation of the penis that started it all. 2mo
BarkingMadRead @Ruthiella 🤣🤣🤣 2mo
Cuilin @Ruthiella Yes!!!! I loved the dress down!! 2mo
Clare-Dragonfly @Ruthiella Hahaha, yes! Benson is perfection in this chapter. Still so sad though 😭😭😭 Definitely makes me want to read the rest of Gaskell‘s books—I‘ve only read two others. 2mo
Bookwormjillk @Clare-Dragonfly me too. I think next year will be a Gaskell binge year for me. 2mo
BarkingMadRead @Clare-Dragonfly @Bookwormjillk we will have to add some to next year‘s schedule 2mo
dabbe I'm going to try to look at this positively. The hero of a story usually saves or changes the community for the better. Look what Ruth did and how her village changed because of her--even Bradshaw! Unfortunately, she was a sacrificial hero, but Leonard will be okay and turn out well. I hope. 🤞 2mo
julieclair @dabbe I love your positivity! 😊 2mo
dabbe @julieclair 🤩😂😘 2mo
KAO Thanks to all for helping me to get through this one! The tragedy was almost too much to bear. @dabbe I like your take though! 2mo
dabbe @KAO I tried, but I‘m still all 😭! 2mo
currentlyreadinginCO I just finished because I was vacationing and got behind and you have to be kidding me! Definitely agree w @dabbe though 2mo

Ruthiella OMG, the second kiss. 🥰 I had forgotten it. 1y
Cuilin When it gets a little autobiographical “Even men might suffer from unexplained desires, and need help.” Oh Forster 😔 1y

Cuilin Also apparently the Weald is beautiful or is it George? 1y
mcctrish @Cuilin 🤣🤣 George is getting quite forward with his kiss stealing ( is Miss Bartlett acting all nuts because she‘s already read this bodice ripper of Miss Lavish‘s ?) (edited) 1y
julieclair George is so bold! The kiss! 😍 #DitchCecil 1y
TheBookHippie @mcctrish BODICE RIPPER 💀 1y
TheBookHippie @Cuilin 😝 and need help 😵‍💫😵‍💫 1y
mcctrish @TheBookHippie it doesn‘t take much for Charlotte 🤣🤣 1y
TheBookHippie It‘s very nice of you to put up a pic of my hair style in 1993 😅 1y
TheBookHippie The kiss stealing is life. 1y
BarkingMadRead @Cuilin I think it‘s George 😍 1y
TheBookHippie @mcctrish it is the exact phrasing my mind was hunting for while reading!!! 1y
Crinoline_Laphroaig That hair!😍 1y
Cuilin @mcctrish Charlotte knows!! 1y
Cuilin @TheBookHippie He was gay and had lovers but of course couldn‘t be very public about it. “ unexplained desires” I find it interesting when self disclosure finds an outlet or slips in a novel. 1y
Clare-Dragonfly Cecil is insufferable. @Cuilin Very interesting, I didn‘t know that! 1y
dabbe Oh, these characters and their drama! I love it! 🤩🤣😀 1y
Bklover @Cuilin I didn‘t know that! 1y
Bklover George is becoming quite the kisser! 1y

Chapter 9: 🤮 Cecil judges Lucy‘s family, and …. Well…. Everyone 🤷🏻‍♀️ #ihatehim #wheresgeorge #sopretentious #haveimentionedgeorge #thatkisswasawkward #unlikegeorge #george #pemberlittens #hashtagbrigade

Ruthiella Such an awkward kiss. 😱 1y
eeclayton What is wrong with her? How could she get engaged to this man? 1y

mcctrish Also Cecil “when you think of me, where am I?” Lucy #inaroomwithoutaview 1y
dabbe Instead of being on the end of the kite-string of Charlotte, she'll be on the end of Cecil's. Guess his last name says it all: Vys-->Vice. #runlucyrun 1y
Crinoline_Laphroaig That kiss is so cringe and sus. 🤢 1y
Clare-Dragonfly Umm, Cecil, has anyone ever mentioned to you that you‘re supposed to LIKE the person you‘re marrying? And she‘s supposed to like you, so maybe stop insulting her and her family? 1y
Bookwormjillk Cecil yuck. And also beware of canaries 🐤🐦🐤🐦🐤🐦 1y
dabbe Class distinctions here, class distinctions there, class distinctions everywhere! Gee, why does Lucy see you only in a room without a view, Cecil? And we all know what Lucy yearns for--a room WITH a view--if only she can cut the proverbial strings! Mr. Bebe knows this: “If Miss Honeychurch ever takes to live as she plays, it will be very exciting both for us and for her.“ That's what we're waiting for, right? #teamgeorge #georgeandlucy #byececil 1y
Bklover @dabbe Exactly! I can‘t stand Cecil, and I‘m getting quite annoyed at Lucy too! 1y
julieclair Wake up, Lucy! #inaroomwithoutaview is your future of you marry #CecilbadKisser . #ditchCecil 1y
Crinoline_Laphroaig I'm a chapter behind but #CecilIsSoObviouslyGay. 1y
