BarkingMadRead
A Passage to India | E. M. Forster

Ch 3: (Ganges River pictured) Mrs Moore tells her son what Aziz said, and Ronny is going to pass on the info 🙄 #notafanofronny #adelawillnotlikethis #thesepeoplearetheworst #especiallymrsturton #pemberlittens #hashtagbrigade

Bookwormjillk The worst is right 9mo
IndoorDame They really are the worst! Such unpleasant conversations to listen in on 😬 9mo

AnnR @BarkingMadRead I recently changed my user name to @AnnR (previously, Ann_Reads). If you could please update your tag list, I'd appreciate it. Thank you. 9mo
Bklover What a horrible bunch of people. Mrs Moore (who isn‘t so bad) shouldn‘t have told her son about Aziz. 9mo
AnnR Thank you. 🙂 9mo
willaful @Bklover I think Mrs. Moore is an essentially decent person -- if too easily influenced -- who didn't realize that her son is not. 🤦🏻‍♀️ 9mo
Bklover @willaful Exactly! 9mo
AnnR @Bklover - Exactly! Surely Mrs. Moore's son will blab to other people in his 'peer' group about Dr. Aziz, especially Mr. Callendar which will cause all sorts of problems. 9mo
AnnR Chap 3: I highlighted this because it was so disturbing. Mrs. Callendar is just awful!

“—I was a nurse in a Native State. One‘s only hope was to hold sternly aloof.” “Even from one‘s patients?” “Why, the kindest thing one can do to a native is to let him die,” said Mrs. Callendar. “How if he went to heaven?” asked Mrs. Moore, with a gentle but crooked smile. “He can go where he likes as long as he doesn‘t come near me. They give me the creeps.”

BarkingMadRead @AnnR I hated that passage, so awful! What a horrible human! 9mo
mcctrish @AnnR I highlighted that too #mrscallendarsucks and I gasped out loud at Ronny running to tell the Major what Dr Aziz said #ronnyisabigbaby #tattletale and why ? “I can‘t explain it” I can #spinelessbully #majorcallendarisreginageorge 9mo
jenniferw88 @mcctrish @AnnR the 'I can't explain it' is meant to be interpreted as 'you've just arrived in India, once you settle in you'll understand my position better'. Still not nice though! 9mo
mcctrish @jenniferw88 I‘d go one further with #thatsjustthewaythingsaredone #whoareyoutoaskwhy I hope Mrs Moore pushes back 👏🏻👏🏻 9mo
julieclair I like that Mrs. Moore challenges Ronny a bit, saying that he didn‘t used to think this way. 9mo
