Shades of Milk and Honey | Mary Robinette Kowal

#Pemberlittens #JaneAdjacent Ch.19-20: So Mr. Dunkirk actually killed the man that married his (14!) yr old sister - that‘s a bit crazy. Do you guys feel this was a protection of his sister and family‘s honour, or should this be considered murder? An interesting dilemma. And Melody - Oy. What a jealous cow. Sorry for those of you who like cows 🐮

BarkingMadRead Anyone who marries a 14 year old gets what he deserves 🤣 1w

mcctrish I am amazed that my dislike for Melody continues to grow. She is such a twat! I was a bit shocked to learn Beth had actually married her tutor and I‘m not sure it isn‘t murder. Just because you think the man is beneath your sister ( literally and figuratively 😆) is that grounds to 🔫? (edited) 1w

StayCurious @mcctrish right? And does the fact that it was in a duel protect him or not…pretty sure duels were illegal too. 1w

mcctrish Pretty sure Bridgerton says duels are illegal but honour code trumps the law? 1w

vonnie862 @BarkingMadRead I'm with you, anyone who marries a young girl deserves harsh punishment. 1w

vonnie862 @mcctrish gosh, me too! I keep disliking her more! And how she read that book without remorse, jeesh! Though I am curious of what that book says, lol. What does Vincent say in it? 1w

Princess-Kingofkings I can‘t wait for Melody and her mother to go to Bath. They would drive me crazy! I‘m not confident I could remain as nice as Jane. 1w

willaful I'm curious how he killed someone, even in a duel, and got away with it. Or did he flee the country for a time?

I can see how he wouldn't have looked upon killing him in a duel as immoral, especially given her age. but not telling his sister at the very least was cruel and horrible. Does she even know she's a widow? I guess she must... (edited) 1w

julieclair A widow at 14. Unbelievable. In my mind, killing in a duel is murder… although it‘s weird because the victim consented to the duel. So was it really a “suicide by dueling”? 1w

willaful @julieclair Yeah, I guess that's why I'm uncertain. It was apparently an accepted practice and the person consented. On the other hand, I think Alexander Hamilton was murdered... 1w

mcctrish @willaful he obviously feels some shame/remorse since he won‘t tell his sister. Does she think she was left? So she‘s internalized she wasn‘t worth it instead of being allowed to be outraged at her brother‘s actions #thesepeoplearenuts 1w

willaful @mcctrish That would certainly help explain why she's still so ready to be treated badly. :-( 1w
