Ruthiella But kudos to Mr. Benson for dressing Donne/Bellingham down and shutting the door in his face. I think Gaskell wrote the whole novel so she could get away with that condemnation of the penis that started it all. 2mo
BarkingMadRead @Ruthiella 🤣🤣🤣 2mo
Cuilin @Ruthiella Yes!!!! I loved the dress down!! 2mo
Clare-Dragonfly @Ruthiella Hahaha, yes! Benson is perfection in this chapter. Still so sad though 😭😭😭 Definitely makes me want to read the rest of Gaskell‘s books—I‘ve only read two others. 2mo
Bookwormjillk @Clare-Dragonfly me too. I think next year will be a Gaskell binge year for me. 2mo
BarkingMadRead @Clare-Dragonfly @Bookwormjillk we will have to add some to next year‘s schedule 2mo
dabbe I'm going to try to look at this positively. The hero of a story usually saves or changes the community for the better. Look what Ruth did and how her village changed because of her--even Bradshaw! Unfortunately, she was a sacrificial hero, but Leonard will be okay and turn out well. I hope. 🤞 2mo
julieclair @dabbe I love your positivity! 😊 2mo
dabbe @julieclair 🤩😂😘 2mo
KAO Thanks to all for helping me to get through this one! The tragedy was almost too much to bear. @dabbe I like your take though! 2mo
dabbe @KAO I tried, but I‘m still all 😭! 2mo
currentlyreadinginCO I just finished because I was vacationing and got behind and you have to be kidding me! Definitely agree w @dabbe though 2mo
