Librarybelle Do you think Wilmet is clueless about these men? She‘s getting gifts and invites to lunch and flirtations from not her husband. I want to see how this evolves! And yes…I‘m pretty suspicious of Ransome and his actions with Mary… (edited) 7mo

BarkingMadRead @Librarybelle i don‘t think she‘s entirely clueless, but i also wonder if she realizes they don‘t just want to hang out with her, that they have an endgame 7mo
Bookwormjillk @Librarybelle clueless or just bored? 7mo
Librarybelle @BarkingMadRead @Bookwormjillk I think she may realize something is up with Piers. 7mo
Ruthiella @Librarybelle I think she is aware and enjoys the attention. But she‘s not necessarily looking for an affair, just flirting. 7mo
Aimeesue @Ruthiella I agree. She‘s bored and likes the attention but also wants to have plausible deniability. “Oh, heavens! I thought he just needed someone to have lunch with!” 7mo
rwmg I'm coming to think she is how Emma would have turned out if there had been no Mr Knightly 7mo
rubyslippersreads What @Ruthiella said. 7mo
Librarybelle Haha, I guess I just need to read this a bit more carefully…I was not really picking up on any of that! @Ruthiella @Aimeesue @rubyslippersreads 😳 7mo
bthegood @Librarybelle @BarkingMadRead @Ruthiella @Aimeesue @rwmg @Bookwormjillk @rubyslippersreads - I agree with the idea that Wilmet knows what she is doing, she enjoys the attention. I do think her mother-in-law is also aware of what is going on! I had not thought Ransome was shady - until now!! 7mo
Bookwormjillk @rwmg so true! 7mo
AnneCecilie The introduction to my book actually compares this to Emma, and I do see some parallels @rwmg 7mo
julieclair @rwmg @AnneCecilie Interesting comparison. But I like Emma immeasurably more than I like Wilmet. 7mo
