The struggle is eternal, Miss Pole!

BarkingMadRead 🤣🤣 every.damn.time. 2y

Ruthiella The French have a term for this, “L‘esprit de l‘escalier”, when you think of the perfect retort when it‘s too late to say it. 2y

Vansa @Ruthiella I know! I always take great comfort from it, because Diderot coined it, and well,if one of the greatest minds of his time couldn't come up with a pithy retort,what hope do is lesser mortals have 😀 2y

Late to start this read,and wow, what an incredibly charming first chapter.Sharing these absolutely stunning illustrations,reading off Project Gutenberg.Such a warmly written satire,and so insightful about society in Cranford.I love that everyone's shocked that Captain Brown does not mind saying he can't afford something!Also,how typical for someone to disdain "Boz" in favour of Dr.Johnson!

BarkingMadRead Omgggggg the cow in flannel! I love it! 2y

Ruthiella Awesome illustrations! 2y

Cranford: With a Prefsce by Bnne Thackoray Ritchie : (Ropr.) | Mrs Gaskell

This is happening. I absolutely adored Wives and Daughters earlier this year so I felt I needed a little more Gaskell in my life. #litsy #elizabethgaskell #cranford #book
