Chapter 12: Lady Glenmire and Piggins are getting married 🐷 #everyoneisshocked #poorHoggins #willthecranfordcursegethim #nonewsofPeter #pemberlittens #hashtagbrigade

Morr_Books The dilemma: honorable Mrs. Jamieson or degraded Lady Glenmire #societylife 13mo
Ruthiella I‘m a little shocked myself! I did not see this coming. But I am happy for Lady G. and the doctor. They seem to be very good and genuine people. 13mo

peanutnine It's a bit frustrating that the ladies don't even offer Lady Glenmire congratulations because they have to wait until Mrs J to give her verdict. How sad and isolating that must feel for Lady G 13mo
BarkingMadRead @peanutnine yeah, I‘m not a fan of this, nobody thinks for themselves 13mo
eeclayton The question is, will Mr H survive the book? 13mo
BarkingMadRead @eeclayton I dunno, statistically he doesn‘t have much of a chance 🤣 13mo
willaful @BarkingMadRead Maybe marrying a genuinely nice woman will save him. You have to wonder if Mr. Jamieson found death a merciful escape. 😏 13mo
Clare-Dragonfly Miss Pole doth protest so much. I have a feeling we‘re going to see her married before the end of the book. Maybe to Peter? 13mo
Crinoline_Laphroaig @eeclayton so very doubtful! 13mo
Crinoline_Laphroaig I'm listening to audiobook narratored by Claire Willie and I absolutely love how she did this: Where feminine delicacy is gone to, I don‘t know! You and I, Miss Matty, would have been ashamed to have known that our marriage was spoken of in a grocer‘s shop, in the hearing of shopmen!” 13mo
Crinoline_Laphroaig And "Till she came back to give us our cue, we felt that it would be better to consider the engagement in the same light as the Queen of Spain‘s legs - facts which certainly existed, but the less said about the better." ? 13mo
Bookwormjillk @Crinoline_Laphroaig that line cracked me up. So random. 13mo
julieclair Ooohhh... @Clare-Dragonfly ... Miss Pole and Peter! What a fascinating idea! 👍 13mo
mcctrish @eeclayton as soon as I read this ( about the marriage) I thought “ well that‘s it for him!” 13mo
