mcctrish The Guest sisters are a piece of work!!! I‘m glad Lucy came to her senses and I hope she realizes Stephen is not the one for her and thereby convinced his sisters to get their own lives 2d

Clare-Dragonfly Yay for Lucy! She truly is the best. I‘m just going to leave this for the other ladies of St. Ogg‘s: 🙄🙄🙄🖕🏻🖕🏻🖕🏻 1d

julieclair Surely surely Lucy will not marry Stephen. I don‘t think I could take it. 1d

mcctrish It was a beautiful letter ❤️❤️❤️ I‘m so infuriated! All these people pushing and pulling Maggie around and she‘s just trying to do her best 2d

AllDebooks This is grinding my gears now. Maggie should tell them all to feck off. She should ask Tom for a small allowance and get gone to a new life with found family and better friends. 2d

BarkingMadRead @AllDebooks for real! 2d

dabbe It's hard to believe, but if only Maggie had gone through with the elopement with Stephen, she would have caused less damage, and Philip and Lucy would have eventually moved on with their lives. Now that Maggie is determined to stay in town, she is making it impossible for Stephen to have a possible reconciliation, either with herself or with Lucy. Moreover, her presence in town will keep the wound open in Philip's heart. 2d

Clare-Dragonfly I don‘t love Philip telling her he would have committed suicide if he didn‘t love her so much. Keep that to yourself, my man. I‘m glad you had something to hold onto but don‘t make Maggie feel guilty. 2d

Leftcoastzen Maggie can‘t get a break. It was a lovely letter, everyone seems stuck cuz Maggie is stuck .😞 2d

Bookwormjillk Frustrating chapter 3d

Leftcoastzen It is a frustrating chapter! Maggie left to get the scowls, side eye , etc . Hard times for a woman. She‘s trying to stay strong. 3d

TheAromaofBooks Like I get why Maggie doesn't want to start over, but at the same time - it feels like she always purposefully chooses the hardest possible path for no real reason. 3d

Clare-Dragonfly Yes, very frustrating. Dr. Kenn seems to be a kind man. I hope he comes up with a solution that can satisfy Maggie‘s conscience without making the rest of her life miserable. 3d

ElizaMarie @TheAromaofBooks yes!!!! 3d

eeclayton @TheAromaofBooks it seems like she's internalised the criticism of the community and doesn't feel like she deserves a fresh start. Which is the saddest thing in this book. 3d

Bookwormjillk Grrrrr Tom. Surprised the mom went with her though 5d

Ruthiella @Bookwormjillk That surprised me too!! It was rather sweet that her mother finally gave preference to Maggie. (edited) 5d

eeclayton Tess of the d'Urbervilles vibes 😔 5d

julieclair @eeclayton Yes, sadly. Poor Maggie. 5d

Clare-Dragonfly Yay for Bob! Kind of mad at Maggie for saying she doesn‘t owe a grudge to anyone. Not that it would help if Bob went and beat up Stephen anyway. I wonder what is going on with Stephen. It sounds like Tom wants to duel him but something is stopping him. Presumably duels are illegal so it might just be that. 5d

dabbe @eeclayton 🎯🩵🎯 4d

dabbe So, it's like we thought. Stephen gets away, and Maggie bears the heat. It probably would have been better overall for everyone if she HAD married Stephen; at least she'd still sort of have her reputation, and Lucy and Phil would get over it someday. If I were Maggie, I'd get the hell out of dodge and away from those hypocrites. 4d

BarkingMadRead @dabbe it‘s so frustrating, she‘s so worried about everyone thinks of her, but nobody would give her the same courtesy 4d

dabbe @BarkingMadRead 🎯🩵🎯 4d

Daisey These are some frustrating chapters, and as was mentioned in I think yesterday‘s discussion, we don‘t have many chapters left for things to work themselves out. I didn‘t think I could like Tom less than I already did, but this chapter managed it. 4d

BarkingMadRead @Daisey I‘m very much afraid it‘s all going to go to hell in a handbasket 4d

Bookwormjillk @BarkingMadRead @dabbe it was so hard not to read ahead this morning 4d

Bookwormjillk @eeclayton yup 4d

dabbe @Bookwormjillk I so know how you feel, so I finished it because I have no willpower! 🤣 4d

Bookwormjillk @dabbe maybe I will copy you tomorrow. @dabbe did it first! 4d

dabbe @Bookwormjillk I couldn't help myself! Plus, I got to the point when I wanted this sucker over and done with! 🤣 4d

ElizaMarie @Daisey YES !!! I disliked Tom for all his #HolierThanThou attitudes then, and now I loath him for his constant jackassery! Ugh! And he didn't even let Maggie explain herself. I am super surprised the Momma finally has her motherly vibe and goes with Maggie - that was a shocker! 4d

And how could Stephen screw this up so bad that they got there in like an hour but now it will take 2 days to get back. Maggie is cooked for sure. 6d

dabbe @Bookwormjillk 🎯🩵🎯 6d

KAO This can‘t go well!! 6d

Clare-Dragonfly He kidnapped her!!! THIS IS NOT OKAY. 6d

Clare-Dragonfly I think it would ruin Maggie‘s reputation if they don‘t get married. So he‘s pretty much forced her hand at this point. 6d

Leftcoastzen Uh oh ! Not fair! 6d

ElizaMarie @Clare-Dragonfly I agree - I don't like this Stephen guy. He feels so entitled to do whatever, consenquences be damned. He claims to care for her, but then he puts her in a lot of situations a young lady shouldn't be in. AND doesn't listen when she tells him to stop/leave her alone. 5d

Clare-Dragonfly I guess I‘m relieved he accepted the Mill (though I think he doesn‘t actually own it yet). But of course he‘s even more mad at Philip now. And those aunts! Yeah, aunt Glegg‘s tablecloths with elk on them are so much inferior to the ones with diamonds, I‘m sure. 😂 1w

mcctrish Can Tom be mad once he hears all the details ? Phil loves Maggie so much he makes his dad get the mill back into Tom‘s hands - seems like enough to me but Tom likes to punish so maybe not #cutoffhisnosetospitehisface (edited) 1w

Clare-Dragonfly Yeah, that‘s my thought as well. 😖 1w

mcctrish @TheAromaofBooks you aren‘t wrong 1w

Bookwormjillk Tom will stop being mad once he finds a way to take credit for the whole thing 1w

dabbe @BarkingMadRead @mcctrish @Clare-Dragonfly @TheAromaofBooks @Bookwormjillk
I have to kind of bag on Maggie here. Her indecision is what's affecting everyone. She's not being truthful with anyone regarding her real feelings for Phil (which is NOT romantic love) and Stephen (which is sexual desire and maybe love). ⬇️ 1w

dabbe And re: the hand-arm kissing, what enrages her most is that “Stephen thought more lightly of her than he did of Lucy.“ Thus, she has been unconsciously thinking of her cousin as a rival, and she is angry that the disputed lover seems to treat her with less respect than he does her blonde cousin. #mytwocents 1w

Bookwormjillk @dabbe you are so right 1w

mcctrish @Bookwormjillk true dat and @dabbe Maggie needs to go to her situation and take a breather 1w

dabbe @Bookwormjillk 🤩 1w

dabbe @mcctrish 🎯🩵🎯 1w

ElizaMarie @Dabbe I agree with these statements. I feel like Maggie not being honest about her feelings allows others to act in ways that can appear problematic. Maggie needs to grow a backbone. 1w

dabbe @ElizaMarie She's the 19th-century damsel in distress. 🤣 1w

Leftcoastzen I‘m with @dabbe on Maggie. I also think Tom will react badly to the mill situation, he always does. 1w

Clare-Dragonfly This bit reminded me of the chapter of Little Women where they have a similar bazaar and all the snobby ladies are jealous of Amy so they send her to a crappy flower stall and sell her artwork themselves. So Laurie gets her better flowers and brings all his friends to buy up all her art 😂 Anyway, Maggie is doing the exact right thing by going off to another situation, but I fear more drama will ensue anyway. 1w
