AllDebooks @mcctrish 😅 We can hope 11h

julieclair I‘m pleased with Phoebe and the Doc, and rather disappointed in Miss Browning for believing the gossip. She should know better. 10h

Cuilin Surprised at how well Gibson took it and trusted Molly. @mcctrish 🤞 10h

eeclayton I was glad to see Ms Browning didn't believe Phoebe's news; but then she goes to this Mrs Dawes, talks to her, and considers the rumour confirmed? That's your research, Miss B? 😡
I'm glad Mr Gibson has been notified, but I'm afraid Molly won't tell him all, since she promised Cynthia 😨 9h

willaful What is this “fainting in his arms“ nonsense?! Ugh, what an awful chapter. And Preston will just make it worse, I bet. And #NotClare will respond utterly horribly too. 8h

Bklover @julieclair Yes!👍 👏🙌 7h

peanutnine Loved the Brownings in this chapter! Stand up for our girl!! I agree with @eeclayton though, she wavered in her faith too quickly 6h

Bookwormjillk Very worried #NotClare will throw Molly under the bus 3h

dabbe @mcctrish OMG #cuntia .... 😂😂😂 2h

dabbe @BarkingMadRead 🩵🎯🩵 2h

dabbe In my #WDNC voice: “We do not care that Mr. Gibson tightly grabbed Molly's arms and left them bruised.“ I did read that correctly, right? And goshdarnit I had to go and finish the book! 😅 2h

BarkingMadRead @dabbe I‘m about 5 chapters ahead 🤣 2h

Clare-Dragonfly I can‘t stand that Mrs. Goodenough! Starting rumors and then blaming Molly for having rumors told about her! I hereby declare her #notgoodenough 😡😡😡 1h

mcctrish @Clare-Dragonfly #notgoodenough is correct and @peanutnine same @dabbe 😇 55m

BarkingMadRead @Cuilin I‘m 💯 about to do the same 🤣 1d

Bookwormjillk I had a feeling this pic was coming today when I saw the title. Poor Molly. They‘re so wrong about everything but that won‘t change their gossip from becoming truth. One of my favorite sayings at work when I‘m mentoring: Don‘t believe everything you think. (Say it to myself often too.) 1d

BarkingMadRead @Bookwormjillk you know I love this pic 🤣🤣 1d

Bklover Strange how quickly people that really know Molly are ready to believe the worst! 1d

Ruthiella What‘s the picture from? 🤔 1d

AllDebooks It makes me so mad, that Molly is trying to help Cynthia but is just being used and manipulated. 1d

Sace @Ruthiella I have decided it‘s from a stage production of The Music Man. The song being Pick a little Talk a Little. But I could be wrong. 1d

BarkingMadRead @ruthiella @Sace yup, a stage production of music man. The film pics were a little blurry 1d

Bookwormjillk @BarkingMadRead the moment when I went to see The Music Man at my son‘s high school and suddenly the world made sense. 1d

julieclair @Bklover Yes! Why are people like that? It‘s so mean-spirited. 1d

eeclayton @Bklover @julieclair That's exactly what I thought, too. They should know better! 1d

dabbe I guess gossiping was their entertainment. Why not read a book or two, ol' bitties? And Cynthia can just go off into the sunset with all of her male dogs lapping at her heels. Then, get rid of the stepmom and all will be well. Only if Molly is forgiven for her transgression in helping a self-centered narcissist. Yeah, I think I'll be reading ahead. 1d

dabbe And this picture is PERFECTION!!! 😍 1d

BarkingMadRead @dabbe I‘ve definitely read ahead 🙈 1d

rubyslippersreads That Molly! She must have made “brazen overtures” to Mr. Preston. (Not Robert, though.) 🤣 1d

Lcsmcat @Cuilin Same! 1d

Lcsmcat @Bklover I know, but at least her Dad stood up for her. 1d

ElizaMarie Picture is perfect!!! 1d

Clare-Dragonfly I wonder what the gentle ladies of Hollingford think of Chaucer, Rabelais, and Balzac. 🤔 1d

mcctrish I‘m worried about Osborne, I‘m worried about Molly, I‘m worried about Roger. I am not worried about Cynthia, I am not worried about Preston, I am not worried about #notclare they can ROT! I need Molly to tell her father everything so she has someone in her corner when this all blows up in her face because I know 3 people who will just look the other way #tsktsking #poormotherlessgirl 2d

AllDebooks Confession - I have zero willpower. I read ahead just a few chapters, so I thought. No, Debs, you've finished it. 🙈 2d

dabbe @AllDebooks Your restrain in not clueing us in is beyond admirable! 🙌🏻💙🙌🏻 2d

Cuilin @dabbe @alldebooks so tempting!!! 2d

Cuilin @mcctrish yes. I have all the worries too. 2d

Bklover @AllDebooks It‘s so hard to stop! 😬 2d

Bookwormjillk I was behind so read two chapters today. But what if I fall behind again tomorrow? Surely one more won‘t hurt… 2d

willaful Of course Molly can't tell her father because she promised Cynthia... ARGH! 2d

Clare-Dragonfly Gah. I have been mostly sympathetic towards Cynthia but she is being so manipulative! My patience is growing thin. I wonder if she‘s going to up and marry this Henderson guy? But I would be less than surprised if #notarealclare were wildly exaggerating his feelings. 2d

Bklover I thought it was interesting how Cynthia got the letters back! I thought that it would drag on for a while longer, at least. 2d

Ruthiella This echoes Clare‘s behavior at Towers when Molly is a little girl. Out of sight, out of mind. Clare is negligent unless the requestor is titled. I do feel for Cynthia. 4d

mcctrish What a ride this chapter was!!! Poor molly ( it‘s all I ever say) suffering through #notarealclare waxing on about all her grievances, worrying about Roger being ill, realizing Cynthia could care less about Roger, having the Brown Owls chastize her over Mr Preston whom she hasn‘t seen since she was at the Towers? I love that when #thebrownowls list all the things they will do, she replies “yes, do it, of course” (edited) 6d

BarkingMadRead @mcctrish that was pretty badass of Molly, actually. I was proud of her 6d

See All 11 Comments

mcctrish @BarkingMadRead right? Shutting down that rant! Meanwhile stupid #notarealclare is all “I‘d rather Mr Preston came to call than these two “ OMG 6d

Cuilin For Molly being weak and “sickly looking” she can certainly shut down an awkward conversation. What letter was Cynthia hiding? 6d

eeclayton @Cuilin I was wondering about that letter, too 🤔 6d

dabbe I am so worried that Molly is going to somehow end up in the same situation as Maggie Tulliver from THE MILL, not because she's actually gone away with a man but because these gossiping biddies are going to spread that rumor, and her reputation will be ruined in this small town. WTF with these Victorian women? 😮‍💨 6d

willaful @dabbe I don't think the author is going to be that cruel to us, but who knows?

Wasn't it hard not to read onto the next chapter?! Seems like some answers may be coming. Operative word, “may.“ 😂 6d

Clare-Dragonfly Seems like #notarealclare and Mrs. Tulliver from The Mill on the Floss ought to trade daughters! Or at least trade their hair… Cynthia says she‘s almost out of her trouble so hopefully she‘s almost done paying off Preston. But what could the paying off be about?! 6d

dabbe @willaful 🩵🎯🩵 6d

Bookwormjillk I finally got a chance to read this chapter. Molly certainly held her own! Go Molly! 6d

rubyslippersreads @willaful That confused me too. 6d
