mcctrish I‘m glad Tom saved the day but I still can‘t stand him. I thought he‘d snuck the money in the tin. If the debts are paid doesn‘t #techytully still need a job? 1d
BarkingMadRead @mcctrish you would think! That part confused me a bit, maybe it was just excitement 1d

mcctrish @BarkingMadRead he‘s a bit rash when it comes to #snakywakey 1d
Ruthiella @mcctrish I thought too Tom would sneak the money in to the tin. And for sure, even if the debts are paid, both he and Mr. T. have to work ie, stay at the Mill or find somewhere else. So this is all very performative. 1d
mcctrish @Ruthiella right! Doesn‘t their house come with running the mill? So his debts are paid and he leaves his job and now he‘s homeless too? Mrs Tulliver is going to lose her shit! #firsttheteapotsnowthehouse (edited) 1d
eeclayton It felt to me like Tom wasn't saving the family to save the family but to bask in the glory 🫤 24h
Clare-Dragonfly I am worried now that Tom has made this big announcement but doesn‘t literally have the money that something will happen to prevent them from getting it 😬 18h
julieclair @mcctrish I had forgotten about the house being tied to the mill. Ugh…. this can‘t end well. 3h
mcctrish @eeclayton absolutely true 3h
mcctrish @Clare-Dragonfly same ( and if it was just him I‘d be cheering that plot twist on) 3h

mcctrish It happened faster than I thought #maggiespeaksthetruth I wonder if Tom will actually hear and understand Maggie‘s words later on? How he is inherently mean? I pity any girl he sets his eye on ( I don‘t think Tom is wrong though that #techytully being upset with Phil and Mags would be nothing compared to #snakywakey ‘s response or how compromised Mags would be if it was known she was meeting up with a boy) 2d
TheAromaofBooks @mcctrish - That's the thing, Tom wasn't 100% wrong; I think he was actually right about a lot of what he said, but wowsers he sure is one self-satisfied, obnoxious kid. Such an uncomplicated conscience - if I do it, it's right; if I don't do it, it's wrong 😂 Poor Maggie. I was glad that she at least put the vow into her own words! 2d

Ruthiella Tom could have been more compassionate, for sure. I did like how Maggie told him off-even though it will not soak in-he is so sure of his own correctness. 2d
Bookwormjillk Yeah I was liking Tom for a while but today I was team #ShutUpTom 2d
dabbe I couldn't help but also notice that this chapter ends with Maggie actually being a wee bit glad that the secret is out in the open and that she can't see Phil anymore. Maybe she loved him but not enough. And Tom, well, maybe a new hashtag: #tommytemper? #oy
2d
Leftcoastzen Tom is so overbearing, he feels he‘s the only thing holding it all together.Poor Maggie has so few privileges or prospects because of the situation.I think she loved talking with Phil & having a little secret.Like @dabbe I think she felt relieved. She doesn‘t care for Phil enough 1d
ElizaMarie @TheAromaofBooks yes!!!! Its a whole #IAmTheONlLYRightPerson in all scenarios thing with Tom. Ugh #TomTheSelfRighteous 3h
