Ruth | Elizabeth Gaskell

Ch 28: so much gossip and calling Farquhar F makes me think of Sense and Sensibility 🤣 #jemimasendshimtocheckonruth #heisbarrassedthathelovedruth #thevisitsbringhimclosertojemima 💍 #donneisntengagedanymore #morescandal #dickisapartnernow #leonardhatesbeingoutside #howcanthisendwell #hashtagbrigade

Clare-Dragonfly Hahaha! I‘m glad things worked out for Jemima and F, even if I am rolling my eyes soooo hard at him conveniently forgetting he was ever into Ruth. 4mo

currentlyreadinginCO How can this end well is right 😬 4mo

Bookwormjillk I can't think of a way it will end well, but at least this chapter was a little less grim. F seems like a sort of nice guy for the times. 4mo

dabbe I may be the other opinion here, but F pissed me off! He's oh-so-glad to have avoided any scandal now that Ruth has been ousted in the community as a whore. What a total sap. Oh, and now Jemima looks whole and pure and oh-so-worthy. #flipflopper #wuss The only man I like in this story is Mr. B and Leonard (though he's a boy). ARGH!!! 4mo

willaful I am happy for Jemima -- and was that an Emma and Knightly allusion I spotted? Poor Jemima, she can not pull off being Emma... but at least she figured it out.

I don't think Dick being home bodes well at all.... 😬🫣 4mo

Bookwormjillk @dabbe He was a jerk to Ruth for sure but I thought he was kind of nice to Jemima. Granted my standards for the men in this book are very low. I'm even a little peeved at Leonard to be honest. 4mo

dabbe @Bookwormjillk You're right. He's the less of a lot of evil men in this book, right? 🤩 4mo

Bookwormjillk @dabbe It's a low bar 4mo

mcctrish @Bookwormjillk the bar is so low 🙄 I think Ruth has scared Leonard to death about what the neighbours will think. F just needed to wait for Jemima to grow up and his ‘dodging the bullet‘ relief is a joke since no one but him knew of his crush on Ruth except Jemima and it‘s partly why and how she grew up #ibetdickisadick 4mo
