Ch 3: I don‘t think I have the right guy, so let‘s pretend this is Dr Gibson 🤣 #alookintomollysfam #mamadiedwhenmollywas3 #dockeptapprentices #misseyrebabysits #bettyteaseseyre #mollyputsbettyinherplace #hashtagbrigade

Bklover Sigh. I was just loving Dad until he told Ms Eyre not to teach Molly TOO much. We wouldn‘t want her well-read, would we? 4w

BarkingMadRead @Bklover definitely a character flaw 4w

Bklover Oh, and I do feel a bit sorry for Betty. She‘s had Molly for a long time. 4w

Bookwormjillk I was liking Dad until the whole Molly doesn't need to know how to read thing. Seems like Ms Eyre will do it anyway though. 4w

Cuilin I know Betty cares for Molly but to make fun of Ms Eyre in front of Molly is so unkind. Gibson must be making bank paying for three servants and a governess for his daughter!! (edited) 4w

AllDebooks Please add me to the taglist. I'll play catch-up tonight. Hope you're recovering well @BarkingMadRead 💓 4w

BarkingMadRead @AllDebooks thank you, I am!! Added you! 4w

willaful Yeah, dad definitely fell in my esteem. But I guess if he was perfect there wouldn't be a story, right? Assuming he's going to be a right numpty and marry NotClare.

I was reminded of the mom in Lark Rise. I guess discouraged intellectual curiosity was a common theme for women writers.

The prose was pretty amusing in this chapter. I liked the allusion to “echo answers.“ 4w

mcctrish Same @Bookwormjillk daddio lost significant rizz factor with that statement #nevermetaneyreididntlike and oh my gosh @willaful you might be on to something with dad marrying #notarealclare 😫 4w

dabbe @Bklover @BarkingMadRead @Bookwormjillk @Cuilin @Alldebooks @willaful @mcctrish 🎯🩵🎯 with all of your comments! I also love that Molly's “governess“ is named “Eyre“. Wonder if that's in homage to Bronte's JANE EYRE? 🤔

I wish the dad didn't have those thoughts regarding his daughter's education. It truly did suck to be a woman in the 1800s. 4w

mcctrish @dabbe there‘s only one Eyre!!! 4w

ElizaMarie Ugh - I was all #TeamDaddy until the reading comment. But I love that Molly is still gonna learn :) I am really liking our little Miss Molly. 4w

Bookwormjillk @mcctrish rizz 😂 you‘re making me want to re-write this in Gen Z no cap 4w

mcctrish As we should @Bookwormjillk 4w

Clare-Dragonfly Molly reminds me of Maggie in The Mill on the Floss with wanting to learn! Thankfully she has a Miss Eyre to help her and no Tom to get in the way. 4w

Lcsmcat @dabbe It could be. There‘s about 20 years between publication dates. I‘d like to think it was one author supporting another. 4w

dabbe @mcctrish 🤣🎯🩵🎯🤣 4w

dabbe @Lcsmcat IKR? 🎯🩵🎯 4w

quietjenn @dabbe @lcsmcat I'm pretty sure it is. They were friends and she wrote a biography of Charlotte. 4w

quietjenn I am momentarily willing to give Dad a pass on the limited education, because I think he just doesn't want her to grow up too fast. But my grace won't extend if he makes a terrible marriage choice. 4w

Lcsmcat @quietjenn Interesting! 4w

dabbe @quietjenn #duh! I misremembered that! 🤦🏼‍♀️ 4w

dabbe @quietjenn 🎯🩵🎯 4w

AllDebooks @BarkingMadRead ❤️ that's great to hear. X 4w
