CatLass007 Pretty. 6mo

Cuilin Sybil is great, but Wilmet is a bit too judgmental. She needs to find her bliss. 6mo

peanutnine @Cuilin Wilmet is judgmental but so far I'm enjoying her commentary on others 😅 6mo

Bookwormjillk But what did happen at the hunting lodge in 1883?? 6mo

BarkingMadRead @Bookwormjillk right?!? Whyyyyy didn‘t they tell us? Will we find out later? We need to know! 6mo

BarkingMadRead @Bookwormjillk https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mayerling_incident 6mo

Bookwormjillk @BarkingMadRead wow!! 6mo

Cuilin @peanutnine 😂 6mo

TheAromaofBooks That's quite the article!!! 😳 I like Wilment but am always confused by people who are bored or feel like they have too much spare time. Find a hobby!! 😂 6mo

rubyslippersreads @TheAromaofBooks Perhaps Wilmet thinks giving blood is a hobby. 🤣 6mo

TheAromaofBooks @rubyslippersreads - And eating suspicious salads 😂 😂 😂 6mo

dabbe @Morr_Books 🤣🤣🤣 I never was so excited to see such a short chapter! 🤩 7mo

Bklover Yawn 🥱. See you tomorrow!😆 7mo

willaful I didn't want to stop -- next chapter looks very exciting! 7mo

TheAromaofBooks I have found it so interesting that these random short “nothing really happened“ chapters have been scattered throughout! Such an intriguing writing method. 7mo

Cuilin Lucy slipped up she said “he”. 🫢 oops 🤫😉 9mo

Clare-Dragonfly @Cuilin Is that what her mistake is?! I don‘t get it 😂 9mo

mcctrish Even awfuler than before @TheBookHippie 🤦🏻‍♀️ 9mo

TheBookHippie @mcctrish OY TO THE VEY.. 9mo

Bookwormjillk Awful but entertaining 🤣 9mo

Ruthiella @Cuilin @Clare-Dragonfly I wondered about that too. Is it the line “It makes such a difference when you see a person with beautiful things behind HIM unexpectedly.” So that we understand that SHE was overtaken in the moment just as he was? 9mo

dabbe And all the exchanging of coins: a comedy of manners. Charlotte seems to be concerned about doing the right thing about reimbursing for the cab, but as with everything re: Charlotte, it's annoying to everyone, especially Lucy. 9mo

Cuilin @Ruthiella @Clare-Dragonfly yes. She gave it away that she was overcome not “him”. That the beauty of it all got to her and she still thinks of it!!! 9mo

ravenlee The endnote in the Penguin edition: “It perhaps is worth explaining the ‘unfortunate slip‘ in Lucy‘s speech. She clearly reverses the point of view, meaning to say, ‘It makes such a difference when you see a person with beautiful things behind her unexpectedly.‘ Lucy has made an early version of the Freudian Slip. @Clare-Dragonfly @Ruthiella @Cuilin 9mo

ravenlee @dabbe I think the word “punctilious” applies here. Also, why wouldn‘t she have smaller coins? Wouldn‘t that be like traveling in the U.S. with hundred-dollar bills and quarters, but nothing in between? How hare-brained. 9mo

Cuilin @ravenlee Exactly. Interesting that Charlotte doesn‘t pick up on this. I guess she‘s all in a dither about coins again. 9mo

Clare-Dragonfly @Cuilin Ooh, I see! That makes sense, but is Charlotte observant enough to pick up on it? 9mo

Clare-Dragonfly Speaking of Charlotte, I suspect she wanted to be seen as virtuous for offering to pay, but for her money to not actually be accepted because they wouldn‘t have change. 9mo

BarkingMadRead @Clare-Dragonfly definitely! I don‘t think she actually expected them to take her money! 9mo

BarkingMadRead I bet Charlotte picked up on it and is saving it for another day! 9mo

dabbe @ravenlee I think she does it on purpose--just like her always saying things like “Oh, I'll sit on the hard ground, Lucy, you take the seat.“ She LOVES being not only the center of attention but creating angst; she feeds off of it. But then that would put her in an even darker category than just being a twit (that was the word in the book right?) 9mo

dabbe @Clare-Dragonfly YES! A way to “pretend“ to be virtuous but not really intending to be. I'd hate to ever turn my back on Charlotte! 🤣 9mo

Bklover @Clare-Dragonfly Yep! She is a manipulative sneak. @ravenlee I had no idea what she referring to 9mo

julieclair @ravenlee Thanks for the explanation! I am listening on audio and was completely clueless what the “unfortunate slip” was, even after listening to it several times. 🤪 9mo

eeclayton @Cuilin @ravenlee Thank you for clearing up what the slip was. I'm reading this in translation and this aspect is completely lost in my version 9mo

Crinoline_Laphroaig Charlotte is the #QueenOfGuiltTripping 9mo

Bookwormjillk Three hours!! You deserve a big scandal or something. I did love Mrs Cadwallader‘s description of Ladislaw though. “Oh he‘s a dangerous young sprig with his opera songs and his ready tongue.” OPERA SONGS! OH THE HORRORS! 1y

BarkingMadRead @Bookwormjillk right!!? Because obviously that makes him dangerous, he might sing you to death 🤣🤣 1y

Aimeesue @Bookwormjillk @BarkingMadRead Not the opera! Anything but the opera! 1y

CoffeeNBooks I had a hard time focusing on this chapter. 🥴 1y

JamieArc This thread prepared me for this chapter 🥱😴 1y
