mcctrish #beckyhasherworkcutoutforher #saynotothesermonizing is one of the Pitt bros in the running for Becky‘s affections? 1y

BarkingMadRead @mcctrish makes you wonder, for sure! Neither sounds like a prize 🤣 1y

mcctrish @BarkingMadRead she‘s not picky 🤣🤣 1y

Bklover @mcctrish No she‘s definitely not picky! 1y

willaful Some very broad satire in these chapters and it has aged painfully well. 🤨 1y

TheAromaofBooks I love how the author told us that Amelia was the main character, then immediately ditched her for Becky 😂 1y

BarkingMadRead @TheAromaofBooks right?!? #sofickle 1y

Chapter 11: Colonel Forster arrives with bad news, Mrs Hill becomes the latest victim of the Post Mistress, and Sarah asks the colonel if he‘s seen James….. #ihatethatpostmistress #colonelforstertoo #bullies #poorsarah #poormrshill #lydiaandwickham #rosemary #pemberlittens #shortchapters #chapteraday #wheresjames #tellusalready

BarkingMadRead @peanutnine right?!?!? 2y

CoffeeNBooks Poor Sarah, she finally worked up the nerve to ask Colonel Forster about James, and he was so rude to her about it. 2y

Vansa I found this excellent writing- seems perfectly in character for a colonel to not exhibit the slightest courtesy towards someone he considers his social inferior. 2y

Chapter 7: Sarah and Mrs Hill talk about James and then Sarah takes Polly to see where Sarah was born… #shortchapters #nobabyjamesontheway #pemberlittens #chapteraday

Vansa This was a rather sad chapter but very well written about women's burdens 2y

julieclair I think it‘s a good thing that there is #nobabyjamesontheway. But I do believe James will come back. He just has to. We surely couldn‘t be left with such a depressing ending, could we? 2y

julieclair Great picture. If walls could talk… 2y

BarkingMadRead @julieclair I was thinking the same thing, but if it‘s in true Jane Austen fashion, it won‘t be resolved until the last minute 🤣🤣 2y

Bklover Busy weekend and fell behind. Just got caught up. I‘m with @julieclair - James has to come back! 2y

Chapter 6: the Bennets are off to the Ball and Sarah is having a pity party 🍷 #mrshillisnthelping #pemberlittens #chapteraday #shortchapters

CrowCAH I don‘t blame her for being jealous. That has to be tough to be in a position of service and never have the leisure to attend gaiety like that. 2y

BarkingMadRead @CrowCAH I totally agree 2y

TheBookHippie Gotta love a good pity party 🤣. 2y

BarkingMadRead @TheBookHippie especially when it involves drinking allllll the wine 🍷 2y

CoffeeNBooks I'm not sure Mrs. Hill is teaching Sarah the "lesson" she's trying to teach her for her supposed misbehaving. I feel bad for Sarah being stuck there by herself waiting for the Bennets to return. Although, maybe Mrs. Hill knows she and Mr. Hill are getting older, and she's preparing Sarah to take over. 2y

TheBookHippie @BarkingMadRun I so agree. 🍷🍷🍷 2y

Ruthiella @CoffeeNBooks I think you are right about Mrs. Hill trying to train Sarah for the future. I think she senses her potential. 2y

julieclair @TheBookHippie @BarkingMadRun I love how Sarah had only one glass of each type of wine, so that it wouldn‘t be obvious some had been drunk. Sounds like having a wine flight! She was ahead of the trend… by 200 years or so. 😂 2y

julieclair What beautiful (and labor intensive) embroidery work. 2y

Sparklemn @julieclair @barkingmadrun That really is beautiful embroidery. I wish I had the patience, talent and time to make something like that. 2y

julieclair @sparklemn I agree. I‘d love to make something that beautiful. 2y

Chapter 2: James still doesn‘t make eye contact with the militia, and seemed to dislike one in particular. I can‘t wait to find out the connection! #pemberlittens #chapteraday #shortchapters #thesuspenseiskillingme #ihopeitwilllast

MoonWitch94 It‘s an interesting mystery. 2y

Ruthiella @MoonWitch94 Ooh! I wonder if it‘s Wickham! 2y

julieclair @Ruthiella Wickham! It must be! @CrowCAH Yes, he‘s the definition of a cad! This is getting interesting… 2y

melissajayne Could I be tagged in future posts? 2y

BarkingMadRead @melissajayne absolutely 2y

MoonWitch94 @Ruthiella it MUST be! 2y

Chapter 3: Sarah overhears Hill arguing with the Bennets in the Library… what could they be arguing about?!? #pemberlittens #chapteraday #shortchapters

CrowCAH It‘s a mystery for sure! 2y

julieclair I bet it has something to do with the new man who was hired without consulting Mrs. Hill. She must know something about him. She seemed to have recognized his name. 2y

BarkingMadRead @julieclair I can‘t wait to see if that‘s it! A little drama is 🔑 2y

Bklover They certainly seem to have a relationship that goes beyond employer and employee. The familiarity that Hill had talking to MrB certainly surprised Sarah! 2y

Sparklemn @Bklover I'm interested in finding out why she feels she can be so familiar. 2y

CoffeeNBooks So much going on in this short chapter! I agree @julieclair- Mrs. Hill seems to know something about the new man. @Bklover- it's interesting that the familiarly not only surprises us as the readers but also surprises Sarah- she's been there long enough that surely she would be familiar with interactions like that between Mr. B and Mrs. Hill if they were more common occurrences, which clearly they're not, based on Sarah's reaction. 2y
