TheAromaofBooks This chapter was a bit more of an emotional rollercoaster than I was expecting!!! 2y
BarkingMadRead @TheAromaofBooks it started off so chill, with the Captain and his faux pas, that I thought it was going to be funny. Ooops. 2y

TheAromaofBooks @BarkingMadRead - Same! I was like, “oh, maybe Gaskell isn't as keen about knocking people off as she was in North & South“ - HA! #seriouslyshekillsoffeveryone #thereweresomanyfuneralsinN&S #wehavealreadyhadtwoinCranford 2y
Ruthiella I liked this balance of humor and then sh** gets real. You never know what will happen next. 2y
peanutnine @BarkingMadRead @TheAromaofBooks I've not read any of Gaskell before so the sudden death was a big surprise so early on! Remind me not to get attached to anyone else just in case 😅 2y

Bookwormjillk I guess she told us yesterday that all men must die, but I didn‘t see that coming. Someone should warn this new guy. 2y
TheAromaofBooks @Bookwormjillk - haha yes, the writing was on the wall, I just didn't realize it was so literal 😂 2y
mcctrish And here I thought the Captain would be the exception to the rule 🤣🤣 2y
Bookwormjillk @mcctrish same I assumed he would be the love interest 🤣 2y
Clare-Dragonfly I was not expecting what happened in this chapter either!!! For several paragraphs I was convinced it was a misunderstanding and that the Captain had surely escaped the train 😅 I also thought the story would go on for much longer. Maybe this book will be more of a series of vignettes. We know so little about the narrator that I can‘t see her having an arc through the novel. 2y
Clare-Dragonfly @Bookwormjillk Thankfully it sounds like the Gordons do not live in Cranford 😂 2y
dabbe @TheAromaofBooks #2downinchapter2ofcranford 😃 2y
rubyslippersreads @Clare-Dragonfly @Bookwormjillk The first thought I had about the Gordon‘s was to hope they wouldn‘t decide to settle in Cranford. 😆 2y
