BarkingMadRead @peanutnine #obviously 🤷🏻‍♀️ this is usually the point where I would binge read the end, but I feel like I still wouldn‘t know anything, so why bother 🤣 @Bookwormjillk #hallelujah 4d

TheAromaofBooks I gotta be honest, I freaking love Annette and her complete inability to keep a secret 😂 3d

BarkingMadRead @TheAromaofBooks without Annette, we wouldn‘t know a damn thing 🤣 3d

Clare-Dragonfly There doesn‘t seem to be much acknowledgement that Annette‘s husband has disappeared! 3d

Clare-Dragonfly Linguistic note: I see that Annette has switched from calling Emily “mamselle” to “madam”! This matches up with something I noted in the book I just finished—in English, Mrs was for a long time just a title of respect for an adult woman of a certain class, even if she wasn‘t married. The Mrs versus Miss for marital status distinction wasn‘t solidified until the mid-19th century. Emily is probably Madam now that she‘s inherited.

Bookwormjillk Blissfully short chapter. I really hope this isn‘t winding up to a Jane Eyre ending. 2w

eeclayton #blessed Good riddance V! 2w

TheAromaofBooks I just want Emily to be able to go back and home and live out her days in peace and solitude, but I think she's going to end up saddled with one of these losers for life 😂 2w

julieclair I‘m proud of her for kicking V to the curb. I didn‘t think she had it in her. 2w

Bklover @julieclair Neither did I! @TheAromaofBooks Don‘t you think she‘d be thrilled to just go home and find Theresa(isn‘t that her name?) and the two of them could hang out and she could write poetry all day! 2w

TheAromaofBooks @Bklover - Yes!! And have a little dog?? (I just realized - what happened to the dog?? Did I miss its tragic end, or it did it just fade out of the story??) 2w

BarkingMadRead @TheAromaofBooks that poor dog poof 💨 disappears it seems. Abandoned. 2w

julieclair @TheAromaofBooks I totally forgot about the dog! 🤔 2w

Clare-Dragonfly Very confusing, is L dead or not? And also is he a good guy or a complete asshole? Because if somebody needs to stay in a room to protect themselves, seems to me the thing to do is leave THEM the key, not take it away and go join the fighting. 4w

Clare-Dragonfly Thanks for the visual! I thought this chapter was hilarious. They‘re all so pretentious 😂 2y

Morr_Books @Clare-Dragonfly I agree! This chapter is hilarious! I was laughing right at the beginning when it was mentioned how much they disliked the doctor's name, Hoggins, but that Piggins would have been worse. 🤣 2y

Ruthiella The chapter really does underscore the absurdity of class hierarchies! 😂 Certainly Mrs. Jamison enjoys being a big fish in a very small pond. And of course they ate up all the food not because they were hungry but because they were “too genteel” to point out how low class the spread was by abstaining. (edited) 2y

Clare-Dragonfly I feel like the narrator is telling us all this in a sly whisper out of the corner of her mouth. And she occasionally bursts into giggles because she just can‘t help herself. That‘s why there are so many funerals—so she isn‘t constantly laughing. 2y

TheAromaofBooks I was also confused about the sedan chair being in the house! I always assumed they picked people up outside like a cab?? But apparently not! 😂 2y

Bookwormjillk i also do not approve of capital letters ff 2y

dabbe @Ruthiella a big “snoring“ fish ... 🤣🤣🤣 2y

TheBookHippie @BarkingMadRead I miss color… still snowing and sticks here 😝 2y

BarkingMadRead @TheBookHippie she really is! And ugh about the snow, you probably don‘t want to hear that we got none this year in SC 🤣 2y

AllDebooks I've got a feeling we've not heard the last from Rosalie 😕 2y

Ruthiella Bye Rosalie! Don‘t let the door hit ya on the way out! 😆 I am hoping Matilda is going to be less of a manipulative meanie! 2y

Bookwormjillk And another murdered animal. I would never make it in Agnes Grey times between the lack of jobs for women and the random animal slaughter. 2y

mcctrish @Ruthiella goodbye to bad rubbish in Rosalie‘s case and I think Matilda is only mean to creatures ( but not as bad as the first bunch of heathens) 2y

mcctrish @AllDebooks it‘s rather ominous that Mr Weston thinks it‘s a bad match too 2y

mcctrish Could Mrs Murray lack any more empathy?! 2y

willaful @AllDebooks -- yup. She's going to do something horrible still. Or at least be intensely miserable. But I vote horrible. 🙄

@mcctrish He's definitely unnervingly blind to her faults. She's very good at hiding them. But I think he'll be enlightened. Hopefully not in the worst possible way. 2y

Clare-Dragonfly If it weren‘t for the animal sadism I think Matilda would be my favorite character. I feel bad for her natural interests being squashed! 2y

willaful @Clare-Dragonfly I think Matilda has potential? She's obviously not the type of person the author likes, but in real life, I think she could grow out of her bloodthirstiness. She strikes me as a late bloomer. (edited) 2y

Morr_Books I love the bluebonnets scene. I just saw bluebonnets and a local park too. I'm happy to take a break from Rosalie even if is short lived. Also, what is the deal with characters in this book being cruel to animals? 2y

dabbe @Morr_Books This disturbed me, too! In trying to find some kind of a guide for this book, I stumbled upon a passage that stated that a lot of this story is autobiographical--including the killing-of-the-birds scene. Does this mean that Anne = Agnes? I think it's too complicated for an answer yet. Thoughts? 🤔 2y

BarkingMadRead @dabbe it‘s definitely possible, I‘m sure that people then didn‘t have the same feelings about animals that we do now. They didn‘t often keep pets, animals usually served a purpose and that‘s it 😢 2y
