Cuilin Worried about Osborne. I wonder if he has a son ( next in line to inherit) hmm? And Cynthia is so disappointing!! 6d

ElizaMarie The urge to read tomorrows‘s chapter is strong—- I do work tomorrow so that might be my excuse 6d

mcctrish I‘m worried about Osborne, I‘m worried about Molly, I‘m worried about Roger. I am not worried about Cynthia, I am not worried about Preston, I am not worried about #notclare they can ROT! I need Molly to tell her father everything so she has someone in her corner when this all blows up in her face because I know 3 people who will just look the other way #tsktsking #poormotherlessgirl 6d

AllDebooks Confession - I have zero willpower. I read ahead just a few chapters, so I thought. No, Debs, you've finished it. 🙈 6d

dabbe @AllDebooks Your restrain in not clueing us in is beyond admirable! 🙌🏻💙🙌🏻 6d

Cuilin @dabbe @alldebooks so tempting!!! 6d

Cuilin @mcctrish yes. I have all the worries too. 6d

Bklover @AllDebooks It‘s so hard to stop! 😬 6d

Bookwormjillk I was behind so read two chapters today. But what if I fall behind again tomorrow? Surely one more won‘t hurt… 6d

willaful Of course Molly can't tell her father because she promised Cynthia... ARGH! 6d

Clare-Dragonfly Gah. I have been mostly sympathetic towards Cynthia but she is being so manipulative! My patience is growing thin. I wonder if she‘s going to up and marry this Henderson guy? But I would be less than surprised if #notarealclare were wildly exaggerating his feelings. 6d

Bklover I thought it was interesting how Cynthia got the letters back! I thought that it would drag on for a while longer, at least. 6d

AllDebooks @dabbe 😇 5d

mcctrish What a ride this chapter was!!! Poor molly ( it‘s all I ever say) suffering through #notarealclare waxing on about all her grievances, worrying about Roger being ill, realizing Cynthia could care less about Roger, having the Brown Owls chastize her over Mr Preston whom she hasn‘t seen since she was at the Towers? I love that when #thebrownowls list all the things they will do, she replies “yes, do it, of course” (edited) 1w

BarkingMadRead @mcctrish that was pretty badass of Molly, actually. I was proud of her 1w

mcctrish @BarkingMadRead right? Shutting down that rant! Meanwhile stupid #notarealclare is all “I‘d rather Mr Preston came to call than these two “ OMG 1w

Cuilin For Molly being weak and “sickly looking” she can certainly shut down an awkward conversation. What letter was Cynthia hiding? 1w

eeclayton @Cuilin I was wondering about that letter, too 🤔 1w

dabbe I am so worried that Molly is going to somehow end up in the same situation as Maggie Tulliver from THE MILL, not because she's actually gone away with a man but because these gossiping biddies are going to spread that rumor, and her reputation will be ruined in this small town. WTF with these Victorian women? 😮‍💨 1w

willaful @dabbe I don't think the author is going to be that cruel to us, but who knows?

Wasn't it hard not to read onto the next chapter?! Seems like some answers may be coming. Operative word, “may.“ 😂 1w

Clare-Dragonfly Seems like #notarealclare and Mrs. Tulliver from The Mill on the Floss ought to trade daughters! Or at least trade their hair… Cynthia says she‘s almost out of her trouble so hopefully she‘s almost done paying off Preston. But what could the paying off be about?! 1w

dabbe @willaful 🩵🎯🩵 1w

Bookwormjillk I finally got a chance to read this chapter. Molly certainly held her own! Go Molly! 1w

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 ? 2w

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. 2w

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. 2w

Cuilin The social calls are eating into #DaddyDaughterTime @Ruthiella yes I‘m enjoying my own break from Mrs Gibson 😆 (edited) 2w

ElizaMarie That Cynthia - ugh! Her juggling men totally tracks @mcctrish 2w

dabbe #gibsongetaway #woohoo 2w

mcctrish @Ruthiella reading about #notarealclare processing how to get her way is exhausting 2w

mcctrish @dabbe the cheese and bread lunch eaten from their laps is the precursor of KD eaten from the pot ✊🏻 2w

Bookwormjillk I know what I‘m having for lunch tomorrow 🧀🥖☕️ 2w

BookmarkTavern 😂😂😂😂😂😂 2w

dabbe @mcctrish 🤩 2w

willaful I just remembered, I was so confused by Molly's mother having also been named Preston. What an odd thing for an author to do, unless it's somehow going to be relevant to the plot, but since no one even remarks on it I don't think it is. 1w

rubyslippersreads @willaful That confused me too. 1w

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 2w

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! 2w

willaful Ugh, so manipulative! 2w

dabbe #notarealclare is so manipulative! And she's so nauseatingly sweet on top of it that it makes her even more vicious! 😤 2w

ElizaMarie @dabbe she is the worst!!! 2w

mcctrish Well that was eye opening for Mr Gibson #atlast #notarealclare and Cynthia #worstchristiannameever 😆😆 according to Squire are both in a snit because their conniving is falling flat! Does Cynthia want to keep it a secret in general ( to catch bigger fish) or is this Preston related do you think? 2w

AllDebooks I think it's completely Preston related. 2w

Cuilin “I‘m not saying she was silly, but one of us was silly, and it wasn‘t me” 😆 I think Cynthia is hiding her “engagement” from Preston. But why? 2w

Bookwormjillk @Cuilin I loved that part 😂😂😂 2w

Ruthiella I think it is Preston related as well. There‘s something going on there that both Cynthia and Mrs. Gibson are trying to hide. 2w

dabbe @Ruthiella 🎯🎯🎯! I'm thinking if Osborne can secretly be married, so could Cynthia and Preston! Or he's blackmailing her somehow. Didn't she check her money once and was worried about not having enough? 2w

dabbe This is the BEST PIC for this chapter! 😂😂😂 2w

Bklover @dabbe Yes! 🎯 2w

Ruthiella @dabbe Exactly! Something is up! 2w

willaful @dabbe oooo, maybe!

I wonder what Mrs. G would be diagnosed with these days? Narcissism? Is she a sociopath? Other people's feelings mean diddly to her.

It would be nice if Mr. G made use of his new info about his wife to take better care of his poor daughter instead of just being irritable! 2w

ElizaMarie @willaful I would say she is a narcissist 2w

dabbe @willaful 🎯🎯🎯! 2w

Lcsmcat @dabbe @willaful I think Preston is blackmailing her for something. Just not sure what yet. 2w

dabbe @Lcsmcat 🎯🩵🎯 2w

julieclair I agree about the blackmail. But the thought of a secret marriage is intriguing! @Lcsmcat @dabbe 2w

dabbe @julieclair IKR? 😍 2w

peanutnine @dabbe ooo I like the blackmail theory. It explains the tension between them a bit better 2w
