Ruthiella Yeah, he does lean into Marian‘s unattractiveness a bit too much for the modern reader. But Marian is awesome. I love her. (edited) 3mo

Bookwormjillk @Ruthiella she is awesome. I hope he‘s not really going to leave. 3mo
ElizaMarie He can‘t leave yet! I won‘t. I‘m sure of it. 3mo
Clare-Dragonfly I find Miss Halcombe funny but annoying. Stop hating on your own gender, lady!!! With the whole “these two women are identical” thing, I‘m wondering if there will be (or already was) a twin switch… 🤔 And that letter is definitely from Mrs. Catherick, calling it now. 3mo
mcctrish @Ruthiella that paragraph almost made me spit out my drink as he rhapsodized on about her perfection and then hard stop on “oh crap she‘s ugly AF” and @Clare-Dragonfly I am not at all happy with her constant woman trashing 👎🏻👎🏻 3mo
mcctrish @ElizaMarie he has to stay 3mo
dabbe Marian outmans all men and women so far. She has no patience for what is expected in 19th-century women and for women who act out their submissive roles. Wonder how she'd get along with Sarah, Walter's sister? 🤔 3mo
Bklover @dabbe I love Marian too! I can‘t even picture her and Sarah in the same room, although it might be entertaining! 3mo
BarbaraJean @mcctrish I wonder how serious her woman-trashing is; whether there‘s a level of sarcasm to it. I‘m with @dabbe —I think she has no patience for societal expectations of women, and I read a bit of irony into the woman-trashing comments! 3mo
Ruthiella @BarbaraJean I think she‘s definitely wielding some sarcasm there. 3mo
Bookwormjillk I feel like there‘s so much an author can say about a character just by naming him Sir Percival Glyde 3mo
mcctrish @Bookwormjillk sounds like a complete wanker 3mo
Bookwormjillk @mcctrish exactly and that stands the test of time 3mo
mcctrish I‘ve woken up and I‘m still thinking about the uncle and I don‘t know whether to laugh or scream at his theatrics #mynerves they are quite the role reversal household 3mo
dabbe @Bklover 🤣🤩🤣 3mo
dabbe @BarbaraJean 🎯🎯🎯! 3mo
Bookwormjillk @mcctrish the uncle sounds like what I want to say sometimes listening to my husband chew at dinner. 3mo
Leftcoastzen The uncle ! What a handful of drama he is ! Marian is something, I do think often she is being sarcastic with the women bashing thing as she seems highly capable. I love the writing so far ! 3mo
julieclair @BarbaraJean @dabbe I didn‘t catch the sarcasm when reading it, but now that you suggest it, I totally see it!! 🎯 3mo
dabbe @julieclair 🤩🤗🤩 3mo
rubyslippersreads @julieclair @BarbaraJean @dabbe I think it must be sarcasm; I can‘t see Miss Halcombe being that self deprecating. 2mo
rubyslippersreads @mcctrish @Bookwormjillk The uncle‘s #poornerves make me think of Mrs. Bennet. #mypoornerves 2mo
julieclair @rubyslippersreads Yes about Mrs. Bennet! Although I think he‘s even worse. 😬 2mo
Bookwormjillk I finally read yesterday‘s chapters. #NoOneWouldLeaveMeAlone #MyPoorNerves So much going on! The Count- so evil! 2mo
