Bookwormjillk I feel like I‘m going to have to re-read all the books now 1y
willaful I'm curious about Mrs. Grant's saying “If you only knew the real truth of the matter--if you only knew who had suffered and who was to be blamed!“ What do you suppose she's referring to? I don't think Mary should be blamed for her brother's actions but I also don't think that was the reason Edmund broke with her. I don't mind seeing Mary redeemed but I don't like her being whitewashed. 1y

peanutnine @willaful I think that is just bias from Mrs Grant on her sister's behalf, seeing her heartache. I hope that Mary recognizes how she acted poorly and learned from it 1y
TheAromaofBooks I finally had to sit down and write out little mini family trees to help me remember who is who! Part of the problem is Mansfield Park and Northanger Abbey are the two Austens I have read the fewest times and a LOT of the characters are from those two books!! 1y
ravenlee I was doing all right keeping everybody straight until Mr. Yates showed up. I knew, from the guide at the beginning, he was from MP, but I couldn‘t place him. When he became important, though, I got frustrated and had to look up “who the hell is Mr. Yates?!” 1y
TheBookHippie @TheAromaofBooks brilliant. I‘m going to do the same so I don‘t wear the Google out 😅😂 1y
TheBookHippie @ravenlee 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼😅😂🤷🏻♀️same. 1y
mcctrish Lady Catherine “I know things, but I‘m not telling you what! Suffice to say you should be ashamed. But I‘m not getting into it. So get out of my house and feel badly. And no I won‘t say why!” For the love of god, women, spit it out!!!! 1y
