Bookwormjillk When the thing we all knew would happen actually happens. Ugh. Why did he change his name though. Such a shady guy. 2mo
mcctrish I‘m so angry and upset! This chapter 🤯 and the restraint I had to show to not throw my kindle! ‘He‘ can‘t believe she is an esteemed governess after he doomed her to a life in the gutter, he keeps trying to talk to her knowing it will put Ruth into further trouble with Bradshaw and then his final outburst! The only good thing about Bellingshit is he makes Bradshaw look good 2mo
julieclair Donne/Bellingham is too awful to believe! What a selfish, supercilious cad. 2mo
Clare-Dragonfly I was NOT expecting that! I‘m impressed with Ruth‘s strength and ability to stay cool in public. I am NOT impressed with any of the awful things Donne-Bellingham is up to 😡😡😡😡😡😡😡 He doesn‘t want to apologize. He doesn‘t even want anything to change. He just wants to force her to listen to him and he‘s going to take advantage of Leonard to do it. UGH!!!!! 2mo
currentlyreadinginCO Hard to read, I just wanted him to leave her alone !! 2mo
Ruthiella Oh, the double standard reflected in this chapter is particularly infuriating. 😡 2mo
TheBookHippie @mcctrish Bellingshit is a whole word. 2mo
TheBookHippie @Cuilin the akin to I assaulted you but you asked for it gaslighting troupe was a throw the book moment. 2mo
mcctrish @Ruthiella absolutely infuriating (edited) 2mo
mcctrish @TheBookHippie I hated him before and now I‘m apoplectic 2mo
mcctrish @currentlyreadinginCO the whole time I‘m reading I‘m muttering “stop fucking talking to her” 2mo
TheBookHippie @mcctrish Seriously😡 2mo
mcctrish @Clare-Dragonfly he is so awful 2mo
IndoorDame @mcctrish apoplectic is THE word! 2mo
Cuilin @mcctrish @Clare-Dragonfly @TheBookHippie @indoordame @currentlyreadinginCO it does beg the question Why did he change his name? 2mo
TheBookHippie @Cuilin Indeed. WHY?! 2mo
currentlyreadinginCO I'm so curious! Did he give her a false name initially bc he had malintent w her?? Did mommy make him change his name so that Ruth couldn't find him?? @Cuilin 2mo
mcctrish @currentlyreadinginCO the innkeeper knew the family as Bellingshit, has he changed it to Donne to run for office ? Or does he have two names ? Family name and lordship entitled twat name ? 2mo
willaful It was murder waiting for this post, because all i wanted to do is reach into my book and yeet him into the sun! The only way he could redeem himself is to marry Ruth and then instantly die, leaving her a good reputation and lots of money. 2mo
Clare-Dragonfly @Cuilin Yes!!! I‘m waiting for that reveal. Maybe he was adopted by a rich relative like one of Jane Austen‘s brothers? 2mo
dabbe @willaful I hope for the same outcome! 2mo
