dabbeAnd now we have a new guy coming to town. Who's this Mr. Donne person going to be? #newmanintown 😱 6mo
dabbe@Bookwormjillk 😂😂😂 I tried reading that last part in bed last night and just 💤 my way through it!6mo
mcctrishIn 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 it6mo
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 🤬6mo
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…6mo
AimeesueAll that stuff in the chapter and I‘m just sad that Leonard didn‘t get to pick strawberries. 🍓6mo
dabbe@mcctrish Oh, Mr. Bradshaw's allowed to talk. A. Lot. 🙄 He fits the category of someone with logorrhea, my #weirdwordwednesday word. 😂6mo
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 )6mo
willafulWhat 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.6mo
rubyslippersreads@mcctrish I bet you‘re right. Ruth‘s past has to be revealed somehow, so Mr. Bradshaw can shame her.6mo
TheAromaofBooksI 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-DragonflyAlso, 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 Gilbert3y
BarkingMadRead@TheAromaofBooks all the yesses!! I was not super thrilled with the idea of her with Hargrave, but Gilbert is no prize either 🤣🤣3y
BkloverThis woman has seriously bad taste in men.3y
DebinHawaiiALL of the men in this book annoy the 💩out of me!!! 😤3y
julieclairI just feel so sorry for poor Helen. She deserves a much better man than any of these guys.3y
MoonWitch94The men in this book are just SO awful! 😵💫3y
nanuska_153I 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 directly3y
