Clare-Dragonfly No surprise on Anne‘s parentage. Poor girl. I want to know how Walt and Laura can get married when she‘s legally dead?! 1mo

BarkingMadRead @Clare-Dragonfly i thought the same thing! How legal is this marriage, sir?!? 1mo

ElizaMarie Maybe she‘s getting married as Anne? Or could they flee the country? (edited) 1mo

Leftcoastzen @BarkingMadRead @Bookwormjillk 👏😂😂😂😂😂 1mo

mcctrish Dead ladies can‘t do crimes but they can get married ✊🏻 @Bookwormjillk I just can‘t help think some other poor chap got thrown in the burning vestry 1mo

Clare-Dragonfly I hope they‘re not pulling a #percypig and sneaking their names onto some church‘s registry 😂 1mo

dabbe Sounds like the Fairlie bros were both quite a piece of work. #thebros #thankfullynottherussianbros 1mo

BarbaraJean @Clare-Dragonfly @BarkingMadRead SAME QUESTION. How?!? @mcctrish #werideatdawn #toburnstuffdown #andalsogetmarried 1mo

Clare-Dragonfly @dabbe And #countessdeadeyes is their sister! What a childhood they must have had. 1mo

Ruthiella I feel like Percy got off too easily. A terrible death, yes. But where‘s the justice? 1mo

mcctrish This was wild and I am still not convinced #percypig died. I‘m with @Ruthiella too easy #whatawickedweb 1mo

BarbaraJean @Ruthiella I felt the same. I need to see vindication! @mcctrish Could Percy have a doppelganger as well? 😂 1mo

Clare-Dragonfly I was right! 🙌🏻 Though what Walt discovers seems to prove above all that #percypig‘s so-called parents weren‘t married. So why does Mrs. Clements think Sir Felix was married? There are more mysteries to unravel. I also disagree with him: I think #percypig is just the kind of idiot to set the fire on purpose. The Count would have had a better plan, but obviously #percypig didn‘t want #countporkchop to know his Secret. 1mo

Leftcoastzen I‘m thinking more mysteries to come ! I knew when that notation seemed wedged in , no marriage, but so many layers with this story ! Yeah , I could imagine #percypig could have set fire on purpose, not knowing he was trapped. 1mo

Bookwormjillk I was a little disappointed in the secret to be honest, but am now thinking either Count set the fire or Percy escaped. 1mo

ElizaMarie Because the other dude has gotten confused and thought Walt was Percy —- it makes me think Percy is alive. And/Or he might have tries to catch Walt in the fire and kill him instead? #SomethingIsOff #IDontTrustThis 1mo

BarkingMadRead @ElizaMarie I wondered the same, you kind of need someone who knows the man to ID him 🙄 1mo

BarkingMadRead @Ruthiella it better be good! 1mo

Bookwormjillk Great pic. Also Laura calling out the fact that Walt and Marian make a better couple. Even she knows. Seems cruel to make her think she's making money with those drawings though. 1mo

BarkingMadRead @Bookwormjillk I feel like this could bite them in the butt 1mo

Bookwormjillk @BarkingMadRead yup 1mo

mcctrish Everyone knows Walt and Marian belong together! 🤣if only she wasn‘t so ugly ☹️ The #manofaction really is an evil mastermind, Marian and Laura know #countporkchop needs to be stopped 1mo

Clare-Dragonfly I am growing stronger in my belief that #percypig isn‘t really who he says he is! If he was born abroad it would be pretty easy to fake—either he switched places with the real Glyde child, or there was no real one, or he‘s illegitimate and just pretended to be legit when he came back. But how does Mrs. Catherick know his secret? And who is Anne‘s father? And could Mrs. Catherick not really be her mother? So many mysteries! 1mo

Clare-Dragonfly @Bookwormjillk Yeah, I really don‘t like that they‘re lying to her about that ☹️ You‘d think they could have come up with some real work for her to do. 1mo

ElizaMarie Hmm.. I am confused about the ages here. Is Anne young and #PercyPig old enough to be her father? What if #CountPorkChop is the daddy? No, that wouldn't be it. Maybe the who #WhoIStheDaddy is a #RedHerring. This is 1/2 Telenovela 1/2 Jerry Springer 1/2 Maury (ha!) - You are NOT the father! 1mo

Ruthiella @Bookwormjillk @BarkingMadRead Maybe they are the perfect Victoria thruple. 😱😂 (edited) 1mo

Leftcoastzen Interesting reading but I need to find out the secret! 1mo

Ruthiella @ElizaMarie I think Percy is at least 15 years older than Ann or Laura. So he could be the father. But as Walt surmises, that seems unlikely based on his and Mrs. Catherick‘s behavior. 1mo

BarbaraJean @Ruthiella Me too!! The only parts I remember vividly from my first reading are Walt‘s exclamation of “the lady is ugly!” and Dear Uncle‘s parentheticals. I do NOT remember The Secret that is so central to the plot… 🤦🏻‍♀️ 1mo

Ruthiella @BarbaraJean What I remembered was the barest outline of the plot and the charming but dangerous Count Fosco. His was the only character name I remembered. 😂 1mo

BarbaraJean @Ruthiella The Count is pretty memorable! I never trusted #countporkchop on this reading, but I don't know if that's my memory or just that he's clearly dangerous from the beginning. When I correctly anticipate plot points, I'm never quite sure whether I'm picking up the clues Collins is giving us, or if I'm just remembering it from before and not realizing that I remember it. 😂 1mo

Marctgore I genuinely enjoyed it. I've been thinking about adapting your story into my comic style, and I would be thrilled to bring it to life in that format. I believe you'll be pleased with the results, and perhaps you'd even consider sharing it once it's done.
I'm a skilled digital artist with professional experience, and I offer paid services for my work. I don't work for free, but I assure you that the quality will be worth it. We can discuss pricing 1mo

BarkingMadRead @Marctgore I do believe you are in the wrong place 🤣 1mo

KAO @BarkingMadRead Nowhere is safe from these guys! 😂 1mo

mcctrish Apparently Marci Gore is new on IG too 🤷🏻‍♀️ I guess we should be thankful when the scammers are so obvious, not like #percypig and #countporkchop (edited) 1mo

BarkingMadRead @kao @mcctrish at least put some effort in there 🤣 1mo

BarkingMadRead @mcctrish I‘m also the only actual person she‘s following, should I feel special? 1mo

mcctrish At least she‘s reading P & P - CoHo would be a serious red flag 1mo

BarkingMadRead @mcctrish 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 1mo

dabbe @mcctrish @BarkingMadRead @KAO ... Here's what @Marctgore wrote on @Crinoline_Laphroaig's post re: P&P:
“Hi there! Your book is incredibly fascinating and impressive; it is genuinely unique and captivating. I'd be delighted to offer some suggestions to boost its popularity and success...“

I. Kid. You. Not. Apparently he/she thinks P&P was not written by Austen. 😳🤣😳

Here's the link to the entire post: https://www.litsy.com/web/post/2847420 1mo

mcctrish @dabbe because they are reading p&p I wondered if they‘d find @Crinoline_Laphroaig but I didn‘t want to help them 😂 1mo

BarkingMadRead @dabbe 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 1mo

dabbe @mcctrish Good thinking! I just let the entire cat out of the bag! 🤩🤦🏼‍♀️🤣 1mo

dabbe @BarkingMadRead Now that I've just reread the comments to you and the #hashtagbrigade, I believe by they also thought you wrote THE WOMAN IN WHITE! 🤣🤣🤣 1mo

mcctrish What. The. Hell. 1mo

Leftcoastzen Maybe one of those poisons that makes you seem dead but you are not ? I went through all the stages of grief. He would get the money but it probably be worth it to be rid of him . 1mo

BarkingMadRead @Leftcoastzen I wondered the same thing, I can‘t wait to see what happens next! 1mo

dabbe I recall #porkchop hinting to #percypig that he had a plan re: the likeness between Anne and Laura. This must be it. Anne's the one with the heart problem, so Anne's the one who died at #porkchop's place. Laura has to be the one alive and the one that Walter met in the cemetery with Marian. Now we need to fill in how she got there. @Bookwormjillk: #soapoperaindeed

I feel like I'm playing CLUE: Laura is in the library with the wrench .... 🤣 1mo

dabbe Just read this from good ol' Wikipedia; it definitely confirms the soap-operaness of this novel! 🤩
“Collins's works were classified at the time as sensation novels, a genre that became the precursor to detective and suspense fiction. He also wrote penetratingly on the plight of women and on the social and domestic issues of his time.“ 1mo

BarkingMadRead @dabbe for real! Total telenovella, this is CLUE, the movie 🤣 1mo

Bookwormjillk @dabbe ohhhh good theory. And the flowers did something right? Pork Chop did it in the bedroom with the bouquet. 1mo

dabbe @Bookwormjillk #perfection 🤩🤩🤩 1mo

dabbe @BarkingMadRead Circa 1860s. 🤩🤣🤩 1mo

Clare-Dragonfly Twin switch! I knew it!!!! @dabbe That‘s exactly how I think it went! (edited) 1mo

Clare-Dragonfly @Bookwormjillk Yesssss 😂 1mo

Clare-Dragonfly I love the inclusion of “the narrative of the tombstone.” So dramatic! So fitting for the way the novel is told! So unexpected! 1mo

Bookwormjillk @Clare-Dragonfly yes the tombstone part was A+ 1mo

ElizaMarie #JawDropped 🫢 1mo

julieclair I've never thought of flowers as a murder weapon, lol. (Except maybe when consumed as poison.) 💐☠️ 1mo

Ruthiella I love how rain causes such illnesses in Regency/Victorian novels (see also Sense & Sensibility). 💧💧🤒 1mo

mcctrish OMG the twists and the turns. Pork chop is a master manipulator #oceans11vibes Percy Pig is such a twat! Where the hell did typhus come from? I swear at this point I was thinking did the ‘private nurse‘ bring it? Or were they just one step away from typhus at this point in history despite being upper class and having household staff to clean up the lice, etc…? 1mo

BarkingMadRead @mcctrish I was going to google it, but i was afraid to go down the rabbit hole 🤣 I am very suspicious of the whole thing though, like was it ever typhus? Did they pay that young doc to lie? So many questions! 1mo

Bookwormjillk This section was bananas. What do we read tomorrow? The rest of Epoch 2? 1mo

BarkingMadRead @Bookwormjillk yes! It‘s only like 10 pages, how sweet is that?!? 1mo

mcctrish @BarkingMadRead I feel like this entire book is a lesson in gaslighting #idontknowwhichendisup #trustnoone 1mo

Bookwormjillk @BarkingMadRead very sweet! @mcctrish yes on the gaslighting. I feel like Pork Chop is playing chess and Percy is playing checkers but they‘re both very effective in their manipulations. 1mo

julieclair So much going on here!! I love it! But I‘m very afraid for Laura in London. 😬 1mo

Leftcoastzen Didn‘t they mention that #countporkchop knew about poisoning? Some of course kill you , but others can make you sick. Though lady gets wet , gets a chill, gets real sick is common in these novels 1mo

dabbe My lord, how women were at the mercy of men in this era. You're simply property, and that's it. Oh, and an apparent ATM for all of your debts. #percypig and #porkchop are beyond evil. So much melodrama! That's what Collins was known for, and he writes it well! What a soap opera this would be! 1mo

Clare-Dragonfly I‘m so proud of Marian for being so proactive and brave. The Count is so evil! I‘m worried about what will happen to Anne 😬 He keeps finding things Marian has written and not destroying or messing with them even if that would be the smart thing to do… because he‘s so diabolical he thinks he‘ll get away with it anyway! I hope he doesn‘t! 2mo

Clare-Dragonfly Any guesses on #percypig‘s Secret? I wonder if he isn‘t really who he says he is… maybe a bastard or the product of an affair? 2mo

BarkingMadRead @Clare-Dragonfly ohhhhhh I wonder! Because Anne‘s mom knew the secret first! I can‘t wait to find out 2mo

mcctrish #percypig #countporkchop #countessdeadeyes what a trio of terror 2mo

ElizaMarie Cringy! #DontWriteInMyJournal 2mo

ElizaMarie I wonder if somehow Percy is related to Anne? Or had impregnated her? Ahhh I need to know how damaging this secret is!? Its got to be juicy with all this talk of murder! Oooo maybe they know Percy murdered someone (Ann‘s daddy?) 2mo

Leftcoastzen Greedy & creepy they are ! 2mo
