ElizaMarie I am curious about the story behind Preston 5d

Bklover I have to admit I rather enjoyed Clare getting snubbed! 5d

willaful Cynthia definitely has something of her mother's ruthless disregard for other people's feelings, though she did try to make up for it.

@Bklover Yes, some satisfaction. Wow, there aint no climber like a social climber 'cause a social climber don't stop! 5d

Bookwormjillk @Bklover same 5d

dabbe @Bklover 🎯🩵🎯! 5d

mcctrish #notarealclare and Cynthia are double trouble imo @ElizaMarie I too am very curious about the mystery surrounding Preston ( I am happy the note came from him and not Roger ) 5d

rubyslippersreads @Bklover Me too. 5d

julieclair @ElizaMarie @mcctrish Me too. I really want to know what their story is. 5d

julieclair This ball is going to be so much fun! #WhatCouldGoWrong #ThePossibilitiesAreEndless 5d

dabbe @mcctrish I see some major emotional explosion coming soon down the Hollingford road! 6d

willaful Before I was getting Emma vibes, now I'm getting Mansfield Park vibes. 6d

Bklover Osborne and Roger can be such idiots! Poor Molly! 6d

Lcsmcat @willaful Very Mansfield Park-like! Except Molly has more spirit than Fanny. 6d

willaful @Lcsmcat She's no Fanny but she may be just as bad at being in a love-triangle. No idea what to do at all, poor dear. 5d

Cuilin @BarkingMadRead I‘m trying to figure out if Mrs. Gibson would be upset or pleased??? 🤔 2w

Bookwormjillk @Cuilin Oh! I didn't even think of that! 2w

mcctrish @Cuilin this was my first thought too!!!!cuz if daughter is anything like her mother she‘d be bleeding the boy dry 2w

Clare-Dragonfly @Cuilin Ooh, that makes sense! She‘s definitely too low-born for his dad so that would be why he has to keep her secret. 2w

Cuilin @mcctrish exactly!!! 2w

rubyslippersreads @Cuilin @BarkingMadRead I think she might have been pleased before Osborne destroyed the family fortune. 😏 2w

rubyslippersreads I was worried that Molly would go home without any books. (The worst fate a Litten could imagine!) I‘m glad Roger chose some for her. 2w

ElizaMarie @Cuilin ooooooo I hope it is her! That would be a perfect twist and explain the $$$$ 2w

Bklover @rubyslippersreads Me too! I wondered why she set them down. I‘d take as many as I could carry!😉😂 2w

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. 2w

julieclair This whole chapter made me sad. 😕 2w

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

Clare-Dragonfly @willaful My thoughts exactly! 3w

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... 3w

Ruthiella @willaful @Clare-Dragonfly I thought of Emma too! 😂 And yes to @mcctrish @ElizaMarie SO MANY RED FLAGS 🚩‼️ ⛔️⚠️🚨 3w

mcctrish @Cuilin you said it!!!! Roger is a star ⭐️ #gettingcinderellavibes 3w

willaful Ugh, he doesn't know DIDDLY about her actual character! At least we don't have to call her Clare anymore. #UghHyacinth

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) 3w

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! 3w

willaful @Bklover It's hypocritical of me because I have a gooey mother-daughter relationship, lol. 3w

Bklover @willaful Me too!!! 3w

willaful @Bklover 😂 😂 😂 💝 3w

LiteraryChanteuse Great book, great mini series. 😊 3w

Ruthiella This is not a good match! 😱 3w

Lcsmcat @Cuilin 😂🤣😂 So true! 3w

ElizaMarie That proposal sucked! 3w

Bookwormjillk I feel like Hyacinth is such a passive aggressive thing to name a character you don‘t like. No offense to any Hyacinths out there. 3w

julieclair Oh Gibson, Gibson…. SUCH a bad idea. Why didn‘t you ask us first? We‘d have told you not to do it. 😵‍💫 3w

rubyslippersreads @Bookwormjillk The only Hyacinth I can think of is Hyacinth Bucket. 😆 3w

mcctrish A man of 5 and twenty should know better but he‘s still a man FFS if men are so fucking strong that they have to be in charge why can‘t they be in charge of themselves 1mo

See All 8 Comments

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. 1mo

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. 1mo

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. 1mo

ElizaMarie @TheAromaofBooks yes!!!! 1mo

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. 1mo

mcctrish I don‘t even know what to think at this point - Maggie won‘t marry Stephen because of Lucy, she can‘t be with Philip because of Tom and his lines in the sand so she will be alone ? There are probably more fish in the sea but we are running out of chapters 1mo

Bookwormjillk Maggie doesn‘t seem to have any good options and now everyone will blame her for Stephen‘s assery. 1mo

dabbe Yep, Maggie gets to go back and face the music while Stephen literally can ride off into the sunset. Damn what these women had to go through in the 1800s! 1mo

Leftcoastzen Oh man ! Poor Maggie! Few choices to begin with and now this ! 1mo

Leftcoastzen Too all ! Enjoying the read along and all the great comments! 1mo

ElizaMarie @dabbe Yes! The 1800s were so brutal for a young woman. She is screwed, Stephen is an ass, he doesn't care about her reputation, and practually blackmails her into marriage for the “sake“ of her reputation - ugh! I hate boys! I feel bad for Maggie. Worried this book will end and she won't find happiness. 1mo

dabbe @ElizaMarie 🩵🎯🩵 1mo

KAO @ElizaMarie @dabbe Agreeing with you on all points!! (edited) 1mo

dabbe @KAO 🎯🩵🎯 1mo

Clare-Dragonfly I would like to give Stephen a smack! I don‘t know what options Maggie has now. Someone saw her and Stephen together who knows them 😨 (I‘m guessing and hoping Ben!) She can‘t even get a decent teaching situation if they hear she‘s been alone with a man. 1mo

kwmg40 What a chapter! Poor Maggie. 1mo

Clare-Dragonfly (Bob, not Ben. I don‘t know if there‘s even a Ben in this book 😂) 1mo

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. 1mo

KAO This can‘t go well!! 1mo

Clare-Dragonfly He kidnapped her!!! THIS IS NOT OKAY. 1mo

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. 1mo

Leftcoastzen Uh oh ! Not fair! 1mo

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. 1mo
