Ruthiella I do feel for James! Disappointed in love TWICE now and both times by Carrie Mulligan. 😂 1y

DebinHawaii @Ruthiella Hah! Perfect!!! 🤣🤣🤣 1y

mcctrish What a roller coaster this is! 1y

Bookwormjillk I still think Mr B is an idiot goofball but I really felt his disappointment when he realized his quiet time was going to be disrupted by daughter drama 1y

ravenlee @Bookwormjillk right? He‘s thinking he left all the crazy behind at Longbourn yet here it is again, following him. Just can‘t get a moment‘s peace anywhere. 1y

dabbe And the only library Mr. B likes better than his is Darcy's. If the man could just be left alone in the library, he'd be happy as a clam. Hmmm. Sounds like a lot of us Littens, too. 🤣🤩🤣 1y

willaful Georgina #dothprotesttoomuch, I think. Cognitive dissonance.

I suspect Kitty will come around to James in the end but frankly #hecoulddobetter. 1y

Crinoline_Laphroaig @dabbe yes, please leave me alone in the Library! 1y

Ruthiella @willaful I suspect you are right…and that Price and Georgina may actually be the grand romance…do ya think? 🤔 1y

BarkingMadRead @willaful #hecoulddefinitelydobetter 1y

willaful @Ruthiella If he can convince her he's not a total cad for not wanting to marry a girl he danced with a couple of times. 🙄 1y

rubyslippersreads I think James should have taken Mr. B‘s hint about finding a wife who had some household skills. 🤣 1y

Chapter 5: everyone knows James is gone and Mr Bennet refuses to search for him #whoistherealbastard #whatajerk #theydidthemath #theyknowhedeserted #poorJames #pemberlittens #chapteraday

CoffeeNBooks I don't understand why Mr. Bennet won't at least inquire about James' whereabouts. I feel like if it was anyone else who worked for him, he would. 2y

BarkingMadRead @CoffeeNBooks I know! It‘s so obnoxious, I don‘t think anyone cares about his reputation as much as he thinks they do 🙄 2y

CrowCAH I feel it‘s in total Mr. Bennet fashion to let others make their own mistakes and not care what happens in the end. Lizzy warns him about Lydia, yet he doesn‘t do anything to stop her going. 2y

Vansa @CrowCAH very true. Baker has cleverly used only characterisation already set up P&P to fashion an alternate story. You're so right about it very much being in keeping with his nature to respond that way to Mrs.Hill 2y

Chapter 11: Mrs Hill is sucking up to Charlotte, and makes her a reticule as a wedding gift. Sarah takes a crazy next step with James….. #poorJames #wherearethescarsfrom #pemberlittens #chapteraday

CrowCAH That‘s some beautiful beadwork on the handbag! 2y

BarkingMadRead @CrowCAH I can‘t even imagine how long that would take to make! 2y

Sparklemn Can't wait to learn more about the scars. Poor James. 2y

CrowCAH Haven‘t we all as kids gotten to the end of the block only to find ourselves returning home for various reasons. This was a beautifully crafted scene, very vivid. 2y

BarkingMadRead @CrowCAH yes! 2y

CoffeeNBooks I think this is a turning point for Sarah. I think what James said made sense to her and she realized she couldn't go running to Ptolemy. I think she also realized that James cares about her. I'm still curious about why he wants to stay so reserved, but based on their smiles to each other the next morning, maybe that is changing. 2y

BarkingMadRead @CoffeeNBooks the mystery of James is so intriguing, all these little peeks are killing me lol I can‘t wait to find out what it is! 2y

julieclair James is indeed intriguing! The seashells, the pain, the fear of soldiers. But he definitely loves Sarah. I‘m glad he intervened and helped her see that running away to London was not a good plan. 2y

MoonWitch94 @CoffeeNBooks I absolutely agree with you. Things have absolutely shifted for our girl Sarah. 2y

Chapter 5: the Bennet girls are avoiding Mr Collins, prepping for the Netherfield Ball, and realize they need shoe roses. Since it‘s raining, Sarah has to go…… #poorSarah #nobodycaresaboutyourshoes #ptolemysighting #poorJames #bepatient #thebingleysleavesoonanyway #pemberlittens #chapteraday #parttwo

CrowCAH We should bring back the shoe roses; add some bling! 2y

CoffeeNBooks Poor Sarah having to go get the shoe roses in the rain. 😕 At least she was able to get a ride back with Ptolemy. Had James been watching for her the entire time, or did he just happen to be out there when she returned? 2y

julieclair I feel so sorry for James. He really has it bad for Sarah. And @CrowCAH I agree! Shoe roses would be a fun fashion accessory! Thanks for showing us what they look like, @BarkingMadRun . 😁🌹 2y

BarkingMadRead @julieclair I was curious as to what they looked like as well! So important that Sarah had to go into town in the rain! 2y

SarahBookInterrupted @BarkingMadRun yes, I always wondered what a shoe rose looked like but never took the time to put down my book and look it up. They are bigger then I imagined. (edited) 2y

MoonWitch94 @julieclair I agree! I do feel so sorry for James. While I like the dynamics between Sarah & Tol, I feel for James. 2y

BarkingMadRead @MoonWitch94 I feel that in my soul! Poor James, but also loving Sarah and Tol 2y

MoonWitch94 @BarkingMadRun It‘s so tough! 😩 2y

julieclair @MoonWitch94 @BarkingMadRun My gut tells me that James will win out in the end. I think Tol is a great guy, but I don‘t think think he is taking Sarah as seriously as she takes him. 2y

BarkingMadRead @julieclair I thought the same, mostly because we know the Bingleys never planned to live there forever. For him, this is harmless flirting 2y

julieclair @BarkingMadRun I actually wondered if Tol will even stay with the Bingleys. Now that he‘s in England, he‘s a free man. I‘m thinking he might strike out on his own. (edited) 2y

Chapter 2: did this chapter remind anyone else of this? At least this one was happier until Mrs Hill showed up….. #busted #poorjames #sarahandptolemy #troubleahead #pemberlittens #chapteraday

MoonWitch94 I laughed reading the part where Mrs. Hill comes flying down to them 🤣🤦🏻‍♀️ It was such a visual. Poor Sarah, just trying to have a bit of fun. 2y

BarkingMadRead @MoonWitch94 I know! She isn‘t helping anything, trying to keep them apart, it‘s only going to push them together! 2y

MoonWitch94 @BarkingMadRun I want her to see him more, just to piss Hill off 🤣😂🤣😂 How very 20th century thinking of me. 2y

BarkingMadRead @MoonWitch94 yesssss 🤣🤣 2y

CoffeeNBooks Poor Sarah! I wonder if Mrs. Hill is going to try even harder now to keep Sarah and Ptolemy from seeing each other. 2y

julieclair I‘m worried Ptolemy is a bit too worldly for Sarah. But then, so is James. Sarah is so sweet and innocent! 2y
