Ruth | Elizabeth Gaskell

Cuilin I‘ve so many questions? How did he find out? The seamstress or Donne? Is Donne wanting to marry Ruth? I can‘t understand hating/blaming a child because of their parents, it makes no sense to me. 2mo
mcctrish @Cuilin these are my thoughts too! Bradshaw wouldn‘t be going to the seamstress so who did she tell that it has made it to his ears ? The Donne marriage scenario, is that the backstory for marrying Ruth? And he told her tale so she‘d be in a pickle and have to marry him? But some people have seen her with the Bradshaw family so ??

mcctrish Also why are all the men so stupid 2mo
Cuilin @mcctrish I think you‘re right about Donne, he is going to try force Ruth‘s hand. I‘m hoping F is going to swoop in and rescue her and put them all to shame but I get the feeling this is not a happy ever after novel. 2mo
Clare-Dragonfly 😡😡😡😡😡😡😡 2mo
Clare-Dragonfly If Donne did tell Bradshaw, I‘m even more pissed off because he‘s fully blaming Ruth and not saying Donne is a bad person at all. I know it was the way of things, but it still makes me mad! I hope he gets some comeuppance for his bribery hypocrisy. 2mo
Clare-Dragonfly @mcctrish Right? 😂😂😂😂 2mo
IndoorDame He said the whole town was talking, but my bet is still on Donne starting the rumor mill going not the seamstress. Men like that don‘t like being told no and rarely think through the consequences. Unless he doesn‘t care at all about the kid, and is fine ruining them both and betting she‘ll agree to be his mistress if he makes her life miserable enough. 2mo
mcctrish @IndoorDame there is no way Bellingshit isn‘t pissed off Ruth turned down his proposal and maybe if he‘d led with marriage instead of initially proposing to just pick up where they left off ( like WTF dude) 2mo
IndoorDame @mcctrish 💯😡 2mo
currentlyreadinginCO @Cuilin would be the best possibility but alas we will see 2mo
willaful We knew it was coming but it's not a relief it finally happened. :-( 2mo
dabbe Bradshaw‘s holier-than-thou sanctimonious crap after the bribery scene to get Donne elected is just 💩 without the smiley face. I am beyond enraged. 2mo
Bookwormjillk I am thinking it had to have been Donne. It was just too close to his marriage announcement. I‘m wondering if he‘s trying to ruin Ruth so he and new wife can take Leonard. 2mo
AllDebooks With the glee the seamstress showed in telling Jemima, I think it was her passing gossip onto her customers, and it spread like wildfire. Donne didn't need to tell her as she recognised Ruth from earlier. He's still an ass tho. 2mo
rubyslippersreads @AllDebooks I agree. I think the gossip has spread through the town. Maybe Mrs. B heard it and told Mr. B. (Or Mr. BS, as I like to call him.) 2mo
