rubyslippersreads Just by casting this actor, I feel as though they‘ve told us all we need to know about Osborne. 😏 2d

BarkingMadRead @rubyslippersreads seriously 🙄🤣 2d

Bklover That woman is HORRIBLE. I wanted Mr Gibson to walk in and tell her to shut her narcissistic mouth! @mcctrish Exactly! By the way we all know MrG would do no such thing. #FreeMolly (edited) 2d

Clare-Dragonfly Awful woman! 2d

mcctrish @Bklover Mr Gibson wants no trouble = everyone else has the trouble aka Molly is going to crack 2d

ElizaMarie I wonder if Molly will complain to her daddy about this? ugh! I hate this new momma. Also curious to see her interactions with her own daughter. 2d

Lcsmcat @mcctrish Right? He got them into this mess with his I‘ll-advised marriage and now he just dumps the blame on Molly. 😡 1d

Clare-Dragonfly She‘s so annoying! Oh, I‘d be totally happy to keep Betty, if only she would attend to my every whim! 🙄 And can the Gibsons afford this maid she wants to hire? Doesn‘t seem like she‘s thought about what is affordable, just how much she needs to spend to get her away from her current employer. 3d

julieclair This whole chapter made me sad. 😕 2d

Bklover @mcctrish You said it!! 😂. Would have been a short book though!! 2d

peanutnine Wait, I feel like I missed something. How do we know this Preston guy? 5d

BarkingMadRead @peanutnine we don‘t 🤷🏻‍♀️ we just met him today. I‘m just getting bad vibes 5d

peanutnine @BarkingMadRead okay cool, just making sure. There are so many characters to keep track of I thought I missed one 😅 5d

Ruthiella @peanutnine I think he was mentioned briefly earlier as the land manager for this estate who had done Mrs. Kirkpatrick favors like providing her with game or produce from the estate. @BarkingMadRead I agree, this guy feels skeevy.😬 5d

mcctrish Mr Preston is in love with Miss Kirkpatrick? I‘m not sure #mommydearest #notarealclare is going to approve and is Mr Gibson getting cold feet ? I hope so, this marriage is giving #titanicvibes 5d

AllDebooks @BarkingMadRead possibly so 😔 5d

willaful Mr. Gibson certainly has plenty of reason for cold feet! But is there anything he can do about it now?

I kept being so uncomfortable every time Molly was allowed to be alone with this guy... what happened to being so careful of her, hmmm? 5d

Bookwormjillk We certainly shouldn‘t trust Preston 4d

Clare-Dragonfly Yes, he‘s a land agent—I had to CTRL+F his name but I did find that 😂 4d

Clare-Dragonfly @willaful My thoughts exactly! 5d

willaful @Bookwormjillk I'm wondering if she actually going to pull off making him happy, just because she's generally so good at it. I'm honestly surprised he's not sick of her already, given he's not much for demonstrations of affection, but then again, he has been single for a long time... 5d

Ruthiella @willaful @Clare-Dragonfly I thought of Emma too! 😂 And yes to @mcctrish @ElizaMarie SO MANY RED FLAGS 🚩‼️ ⛔️⚠️🚨 5d

Lcsmcat Any Keeping Up Appearances fans here? Because Hyacinth! 😂🤣😂 7d

Cuilin I‘m not sure I would want to get between Mr. Gibson and his cheese. Also, I‘m trying to be understanding of Hyacinth, as women in the 19th century if they were not ever so slightly manipulative, they could be coerced into anything. I‘m not sure cheese is the hill I‘d want to die on though. 7d

See All 21 Comments

mcctrish Good lord help us all from Hyacinth! Is it too late to call the whole thing off? Let‘s just find Molly a husband instead of 7d

Cuilin @Lcsmcat bouquet (Bucket) residence Lady of the house speaking”. I keep thinking of her too. (edited) 7d

BarkingMadRead @cuilin I would definitely choose a better hill 🤷🏻‍♀️ 7d

willaful Cheese is the hill I would die on, as in I will die for cheese!
7d

Bookwormjillk @Cuilin you are so right about the cheese. 7d

peanutnine Uh oh Roger is paying attention to Molly....the squire would not approve 7d

ElizaMarie @willaful I‘ll die right next to you —- #ForCheese #CheeseIsLife 7d

ElizaMarie Does Molly even need a mother? Isn‘t Mr Gibson too late in thinking this would be “good” for her? Excuses? 7d

BarkingMadRead @ElizaMarie yeah I think he waited a smidge too long 🤣 7d

willaful @ElizaMarie I once told someone that I don't trust people who don't like cheese and I'd say I was justified! 7d

Clare-Dragonfly Some women are dripping with diamonds / Some women are dripping with pearls / Lucky me, lucky me, look at what I‘m dripping with / Little girls! (edited) 7d

eeclayton @ElizaMarie I agree that Mr G is rather late. It's weird that he tends to (both him and Mrs K actually) treat Molly like a little child but expect her to behave in a mature way. Also, Lydia Bennet had been married for over a year when she was Molly's age. Not that she'd be a good role model, I'm just comparing life stages. 7d

eeclayton @Cuilin manipulation is one thing, but what really bugs me is that she doesn't want to invite her own daughter to the wedding so that she can't outshine her. Just awful. And then there's the matter of the cheese!
Come to think of it, I wonder what kind of person Cynthia will turn out to be. 7d

Lcsmcat @Clare-Dragonfly 😂🤣 7d

Cuilin @eeclayton yeah not wanting your daughter around because she might outshine you, is problematic. 7d

Bklover @Clare-Dragonfly 🧡😂🧡😂 6d

rubyslippersreads @Lcsmcat That‘s exactly who I thought of. 6d

Roger is a sweetheart. I'm kind of irritated by Molly, but I tend to hate gooey father-daughter relationships. It's not really her fault she's been spoiled. (edited) 1w

Bklover @willaful I‘m with you on the gooey relationship with Dad. And Dad appears to be an idiot! It‘s not like he‘s poor and marrying for money! 1w

julieclair Oh Gibson, Gibson…. SUCH a bad idea. Why didn‘t you ask us first? We‘d have told you not to do it. 😵‍💫 6d
