Ruth | Elizabeth Gaskell

Ch 5: Ruthie? Also, I‘m trapped in Orlando until early Tuesday morning because our flight was cancelled due to the storm. This chapter made me a little salty 🤣 #anyway #ruthandbellinghamataninn #hereallylikesgettinghisway 🙄 #petulantlittlebaby #ruthhasasoloadventure #ilovehowsheviewedthestranger #ofcoursebellinghamseeshimdifferently #staytuned #hashtagbrigade

currentlyreadinginCO The reading party sounds delightful, though!! 7mo

Bookwormjillk @currentlyreadinginCO Yes I wanted more info on the reading party

Safe travels @barkingmadread (edited) 7mo

Clare-Dragonfly A reading party sounds great, but if they were bored being stuck in the inn due to weather, I don‘t think the point of the reading party was actually reading 😂 I‘m not thrilled with the way Gaskell describes the “deformed” man, but for the time it was probably pretty good, especially since he actually seems to be a decent guy, unlike Bellingham. 7mo

Clare-Dragonfly Also, I guess we‘re supposed to infer that Ruth and Bellingham are having sex at this point? The only hint is the fact that they‘re sharing a room. 7mo

willaful Aww, the Foxglove Fairy!

BarkingMadRead @Clare-Dragonfly probably? I wondered the same thing 7mo

mcctrish @Clare-Dragonfly I wondered too, but even if they aren‘t everyone assumes ( Jennie does) so Ruth is ruined 7mo

Bookwormjillk @Clare-Dragonfly I think so? I wasn't sure either. 7mo

rubyslippersreads I‘d like to know what a reading party really is. If it involves lots of books, tea, and snacks, it sounds delightful. But it also sounds too dull to suit the odious Mr. Bellingham. 😏 6mo
