Librarybelle Off to the sea we go! 5mo

dabbe And now we have a new guy coming to town. Who's this Mr. Donne person going to be? #newmanintown 😱
5mo
dabbe @Bookwormjillk 😂😂😂 I tried reading that last part in bed last night and just 💤 my way through it! 5mo
mcctrish In my usual #worstcasescenario vein I assume Donne knows Bellingshit and Ruth will be exposed. I feel bad for Jemima, one can only take so much control. Half of her troubles would be solved by just talking to people but these are the times we are in so no talking allowed. Bradshaw is such a pompous asshole - he‘d rather someone went to debtors prison than offer credit for a month so they could avoid it 5mo
TheBookHippie @Bookwormjillk MY THOUGHTS EXACTLY 😵‍💫🫣 5mo
TheBookHippie @mcctrish 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 5mo
mcctrish @TheBookHippie not to conflate modern politics with these olden days, but I feel like Bradshaw‘s descendants are trying to have a go right now 🤬 5mo
TheBookHippie @dabbe one paragraph and zzzzz finished just now 🫣 5mo
TheBookHippie @mcctrish WORD. 🎯 5mo
Clare-Dragonfly @Bookwormjillk I keep thinking of the hypocritical banker guy from Middlemarch. Bradshaw doesn‘t seem to be that much of a hypocrite but I‘m reserving judgment… 5mo
Aimeesue All that stuff in the chapter and I‘m just sad that Leonard didn‘t get to pick strawberries. 🍓 5mo
dabbe @mcctrish Oh, Mr. Bradshaw's allowed to talk. A. Lot. 🙄 He fits the category of someone with logorrhea, my #weirdwordwednesday word. 😂 5mo
mcctrish @dabbe Bradshaw has got entitled white male-itus but I love your #weirdwordwednesday word ( steam literally comes out my ears whenever I read him speaking, no wonder Jemima is losing her shit ) 5mo
dabbe @mcctrish Agree 💯. 5mo
willaful What a depressing chapter! Jemima is so young and stupid. On the other hand, maybe she could never be happy married to someone so closely associated with her father. 5mo
rubyslippersreads @mcctrish I bet you‘re right. Ruth‘s past has to be revealed somehow, so Mr. Bradshaw can shame her. 5mo
mcctrish @rubyslippersreads that‘s what he lives for 5mo
julieclair @dabbe Logorrhea! 🤣🤣🤣🤣 That might be my new favorite word! 5mo
julieclair @mcctrish Oh my... Your prediction about Mr. Donne is probably right. 😢 Poor poor Ruth. 5mo
dabbe @julieclair I've had it in my head all day! 🤩😂🤗 5mo

Chapter 51: Eliza tells Gil that Helen is going to marry Hargrave, so he heads out to stop the wedding. But does he arrive in time? #pemberlittens #chapteraday #yasnoozeyalose #runGilrun

Clare-Dragonfly Gil sure does love making assumptions about what people are thinking! 3y
BarkingMadRead @Clare-Dragonfly he is the absolute worst 3y

TheAromaofBooks I couldn't deal with the way he was all wound up about her “betraying“ him, like dude, you've literally been moping around for over a year?!?! I honestly was hoping that she really had moved on! 😂 3y
Clare-Dragonfly Also, does the text ever call him Gil or did we all just decide to go with that? 😂 3y
BarkingMadRead @Clare-Dragonfly lol that was me, I don‘t think he‘s ever referred to anything but Gilbert 3y
BarkingMadRead @TheAromaofBooks all the yesses!! I was not super thrilled with the idea of her with Hargrave, but Gilbert is no prize either 🤣🤣 3y
Bklover This woman has seriously bad taste in men. 3y
DebinHawaii ALL of the men in this book annoy the 💩out of me!!! 😤 3y
julieclair I just feel so sorry for poor Helen. She deserves a much better man than any of these guys. 3y
MoonWitch94 The men in this book are just SO awful! 😵‍💫 3y
nanuska_153 I couldn't stop thinking about the Simpsons parody of the graduate, Gilbert running to stop the wedding was too funny to think of the graduate directly 3y
