Bookwormjillk I was hopping for a picture of a shabby hair ring. This would make an excellent soap. 2d

ElizaMarie So - If we didn't know that he wants #ALLtheMoney , then choosing to marry her after she tells him she loves another and plans to remain a singleton is kinda sweet (maybe). But.. yeah! Also, I didn't even think the Count and him were in cahoots until you mentioned it! MAYBE!!! - I was just thinking - small world with the rich. Oooo I love telenovelas! This would be a great one! I like this Marian :) 2d

BarkingMadRead @Bookwormjillk ugh i wish i had looked for a shabby hair ring 🤣🤣 2d

Bookwormjillk @BarkingMadRead I probably shouldn't google that at work. 2d

BarbaraJean @Bookwormjillk @BarkingMadRead I found this #shabbyring: https://www.1stdibs.com/jewelry/rings/cocktail-rings/antique-victorian-18k-yello... and also this: https://ladynextdoorvintage.com/products/antique-victorian-woven-hair-15k-gold-b... 😖 😬 2d

Clare-Dragonfly 1. Marian is my favorite now! I just wish she‘d let herself stick with hating Percy. Why do you hate him? Because you‘re smart! 2. Looks like Walt is in for a fun adventure. If the ship doesn‘t go down. 3. Not sure who sucks worse, Percy or Uncle. 4. Percy sure isn‘t acting like a man deeply in debt. Marian isn‘t acting like she knows he‘s in debt. I bet she and Laura don‘t know about the debt or his money grab. Does Uncle? 2d

BarkingMadRead @BarbaraJean ew that second one, the hair is on your skin 😳 I don‘t know why, but that grossed me out 🤣 2d

Clare-Dragonfly 5. They‘re going to Italy to meet the horrible aunt and her horrible count husband! (I know he‘s horrible because he‘s friends with Percy.) Somebody‘s going to get locked in a room, aren‘t they?! 2d

BarbaraJean @Clare-Dragonfly Uncle knows! Didn't Mr. Gilmore fill him in on it all? Not that he listened... #mynerves 🙄 2d

BarbaraJean @BarkingMadRead Ugh, I know! And the little buckle? #nope 2d

Clare-Dragonfly @BarbaraJean You‘re right! I guess he doesn‘t care because it has no effect on his precious etchings 🙄 2d

BarbaraJean @Clare-Dragonfly I think I hate Uncle more than Percy. Somehow I respect greed and potential murder-plotting and whatever other nefarious deeds are in his past more than self-absorbed laziness and dramatics. 2d

TheAromaofBooks @BarbaraJean - For REAL the uncle is the villain of the piece! It's been a while since I wanted to punch a fictional character so badly 😂 2d

Bookwormjillk @Clare-Dragonfly someone is most certainly going to get locked in a room. 2d

Bklover Just checked out the rings @BarbaraJean - they are a definite #nothankyou 2d

julieclair @Clare-Dragonfly @Bookwormjillk Now that you've got me thinking about it, I'm 100% certain the person getting locked in a room will be Laura. 2d

mcctrish @Bookwormjillk @BarbaraJean it‘s the shabby that‘s killing me, in my mind the hair of the hair ring is frizzy 🤢 like it‘s regifted 2d

BarkingMadRead @mcctrish 🤣🤣 I was thinking more that the ring itself was shabby, but now you got me wondering…… 2d

mcctrish @Clare-Dragonfly Marian is hands down the best! The uncle is the WORST! I don‘t think anyone knows #percypig is in debt but Gilmore was trying to keep Laura‘s inheritance for her as her father had set it out ( I think he‘s rolling over in his grave for pushing this marriage on Laura and then rolling again over leaving #unclenerves in charge of everything ) and I‘m getting even stronger #udolphovibes from this Italian tour 2d

BarbaraJean @mcctrish Oh, gross—that mental picture makes it worse! And it doesn‘t say whose hair it is, does it? 😬😵‍💫 2d

mcctrish @BarbaraJean hair jewelry is mourning jewelry, made to remember spouses or family and a bloody horrible wedding gift and creepy AF. Maybe her mother‘s hair ? 2d

Leftcoastzen #mynerves that uncle has me so angry, so focused on his “fragile” self & his etchings, shirking his duties. And what did awful Percy say ? Marian is wonderful, I‘m totally creeped out and concerned for the trip to the continent.😡 1d

Ruthiella Yeah, he does lean into Marian‘s unattractiveness a bit too much for the modern reader. But Marian is awesome. I love her. (edited) 5d

Bookwormjillk @Ruthiella she is awesome. I hope he‘s not really going to leave. 5d

ElizaMarie He can‘t leave yet! I won‘t. I‘m sure of it. 5d

Clare-Dragonfly I find Miss Halcombe funny but annoying. Stop hating on your own gender, lady!!! With the whole “these two women are identical” thing, I‘m wondering if there will be (or already was) a twin switch… 🤔 And that letter is definitely from Mrs. Catherick, calling it now. 5d

mcctrish @Ruthiella that paragraph almost made me spit out my drink as he rhapsodized on about her perfection and then hard stop on “oh crap she‘s ugly AF” and @Clare-Dragonfly I am not at all happy with her constant woman trashing 👎🏻👎🏻 5d

mcctrish @ElizaMarie he has to stay 5d

dabbe Marian outmans all men and women so far. She has no patience for what is expected in 19th-century women and for women who act out their submissive roles. Wonder how she'd get along with Sarah, Walter's sister? 🤔 5d

Bklover @dabbe I love Marian too! I can‘t even picture her and Sarah in the same room, although it might be entertaining! 5d

BarbaraJean @mcctrish I wonder how serious her woman-trashing is; whether there‘s a level of sarcasm to it. I‘m with @dabbe —I think she has no patience for societal expectations of women, and I read a bit of irony into the woman-trashing comments! 5d

Ruthiella @BarbaraJean I think she‘s definitely wielding some sarcasm there. 5d

Bookwormjillk I feel like there‘s so much an author can say about a character just by naming him Sir Percival Glyde 5d

mcctrish @Bookwormjillk sounds like a complete wanker 5d

Bookwormjillk @mcctrish exactly and that stands the test of time 5d

BarkingMadRead @mcctrish @Bookwormjillk 🤣🤣🤣 4d

mcctrish I‘ve woken up and I‘m still thinking about the uncle and I don‘t know whether to laugh or scream at his theatrics #mynerves they are quite the role reversal household 4d

dabbe @Bklover 🤣🤩🤣 4d

dabbe @BarbaraJean 🎯🎯🎯! 4d

BarbaraJean @Bookwormjillk @mcctrish 😂😂Yessss 4d

Bookwormjillk @mcctrish the uncle sounds like what I want to say sometimes listening to my husband chew at dinner. 4d

mcctrish @Bookwormjillk #MYNERVES 4d

Leftcoastzen The uncle ! What a handful of drama he is ! Marian is something, I do think often she is being sarcastic with the women bashing thing as she seems highly capable. I love the writing so far ! 4d

julieclair @BarbaraJean @dabbe I didn‘t catch the sarcasm when reading it, but now that you suggest it, I totally see it!! 🎯 4d

dabbe @julieclair 🤩🤗🤩 3d
