dabbe I feel guilty so I'm going to send my betrothed some flowers because that'll make me feel better but I have to send Ellen some too because I can't stop thinking about her and I hate this time period I'm living in because I have to be all prim and proper and follow the norms of the day and .... #oy! 1w

mcctrish Archer wants to send yellow roses to May but they‘d be too much for her so I will send them to Ellen cuz sending flowers to someone other than my fiancé is an okay thing to do 1w

KAO @mcctrish Sure, because that seems entirely reasonable…except—if it‘s that innocent and reasonable, why remove the card at the last minute, eh? 1w

mcctrish @KAO oh I think Archer is crossing all kinds of lines 1w

Clare-Dragonfly And don‘t forget that he didn‘t even tell May he was visiting Ellen 😬 1w

ElizaMarie I love how he can't send the roses to May because they are “too rich, too strong, in their fiery beauty“ - but they are perfect for Ellen! #TskTskArcher #BadFiance 2d

Bookwormjillk Lol holding the creepy doll up to the window. This chapter reminded me of when certain neighbors turn to our listserve to be cranky about Halloween. According to them the kids never do it right. 7mo

AllDebooks Dolls really creep me out 7mo

mcctrish I love a short chapter, sucks it was ruined by the creepy doll 7mo

TheAromaofBooks I've read about May Day festivities in many old books, but I don't remember ever hearing about a doll before. 7mo

BarkingMadRead @TheBookHippie 🤣🤣🤣 1y

Clare-Dragonfly I was thinking of I Love Lucy too! 😂 1y

TheAromaofBooks So was Rebecca's intent to GOAD Maxim into murdering her ON PURPOSE??? Also, side note, I'm just not sure what I would do if my husband confessed to killing his first wife, no matter how terrible she was. I'm not confident I would be as “obviously I love you and will stay with you“ as our narrator is! 😂 1y

kwmg40 @TheAromaofBooks I would have trouble with that too! 1y

kwmg40 The doctor offered them cigarettes and sherry! What doctor would do that these days? It was a different time! 1y

Bookwormjillk @TheAromaofBooks yeah, I don‘t think that would have the same effect on me as it had on Jan. 1y

peanutnine @TheAromaofBooks yeah it seemed like Rebecca's way of taking him down with her, not realizing he would get away with it 1y

peanutnine The narrator is so desperate to be loved that she'll overlook some HUGE red flags. She's so worried about what others think of her, she can't imagine leaving him even for a good reason 1y

IndoorDame Totally agree about both of them! If Rebecca wants to off herself, go for it, but suicide by proxy totally makes her an #evilbitch And Jan staying with her husband who‘s perfect except for the whole I‘m a murderer thing is just nuts, like I‘m worried the girl has no basic self preservational instincts! 1y

5feet.of.fury I was so surprised by the doctor‘s report. What the heck? But, it gives everyone a good reason to believe the suicide… 1y

julieclair @TheAromaofBooks Yes to everything you said! Rebecca is evil and Jan is not a great decision-maker. 😂 1y

Roary47 Big reveals! 1y

ElizaMarie Wow. So… Suicide by proxy!? Makes sense. Rebecca seems like a “if I am not happy nobody can be happy” type of person. #Vile 1y

currentlyreadinginCO I was struggling & used the study guides to go back and understand the characters and first two books better, and I feel like I finally understand what's going on! & this ch was comprehensible. I cheated a bit bc I saw some of what happens in future chapters, but I don't really mind that and found it helpful. I dunno if I would have the time and patience to look back at guides if I wasn't reading one ch per day with you all so I'm glad I'm here 😂 2y

currentlyreadinginCO @mcctrish @5feet.of.fury 🤣🤣 2y

5feet.of.fury @currentlyreadinginCO I agree, this is the 1st chapter that I found to be “readable”. 2y

Bklover @currentlyreadinginCO I went and did the same thing with LitCharts. I love that there are chapter summaries with analysis right next to it. Makes it a little easier to understand! 2y

Cuilin @Bklover my favorite go to summary is Lit charts for this reason too. 🤩 2y

rwmg Meat rationing only ended in 1954, hence Wilmet's focus on it during her lunch with Harry. 2y

Bluebird 😡😡😡😡 2y

Ruthiella Totally. 😡😡😡 2y

dabbe Angel is a sanctimonious asshole. Why the hell did Hardy name him Angel? And to think that a woman being raped is WORSE than a man debauching himself during this time period is almost impossible to grasp. These people and their so-called dignity make me want to 🤮. Tess deserves so much better. 2y

Clare-Dragonfly Dumbass is putting it extremely mildly! I am absolutely furious with Angel. He acknowledges that she tried to tell him and he wouldn‘t let her, and yet acts like she‘s some deceptive snake?! I am absolutely furious with and disgusted by him. And I hate the bit about the “core of logic”… there is NOTHING logical about his changed feelings toward her. I don‘t know if I want to read the book more quickly in hopes that he learns his lesson or give up 2y

Clare-Dragonfly 😡😡😡😡😡😡😡🤬🤬🤬😱 2y

Daisey Listening to these chapters on my way to school this morning was a bad idea because I went into my classroom mad. Only after school from now on. It‘s all so frustrating, but it‘s so much more infuriating after his own confession. 2y

Cuilin Disgusted but not surprised. If he changes his mind not sure he could be forgiven. 2y

currentlyreadinginCO These chapters were so hard and Angel is the worst! I felt the pain in Tess's statements & experienced so many emotions ... so far I love Hardy's writing and hate the plot that he wrote! My 16 yo self should've been done w men after I read this... 2y

julieclair Angel. So very disappointing. I was expecting so much better of him. Poor Tess… 2y
