Bookwormjillk If he wanted someone he could train he should have gotten a pet dog. 2y

TheAromaofBooks @Bookwormjillk - While I agree, in fairness Dorothea went on and on and on about how what she wanted from marriage was to learn from/help someone “wiser“ than her. I think she's starting to realize that that isn't a great balance for a marital relationship... although sadly I don't think she's realized that Casaubon isn't really that wise 🙄 2y

BarkingMadRead @TheAromaofBooks very good point! 2y

quirkyreader I always thought that Casaubon wanted something “wild” that he could tame in his own “image” of womanhood. 2y

Bookwormjillk @TheAromaofBooks good point! 2y

BarkingMadRead @quirkyreader I get the feeling he wasn‘t expecting any push back! 2y

Bklover @quirkyreader Yes! Oh, and young. She must be young. They‘re easier to train. 🙄 2y

Bklover Oh, and didn‘t he want a child? He says he wanted to leave a “copy of himself”. 2y

peanutnine @Bklover that phrase gave me icky chills 2y

Bklover @peanutnine Yes, me too, and for several reasons!!! 2y

CoffeeNBooks @TheAromaofBooks It made me very angry that Casaubon just wanted to replace his secretary with Dorothea, but you make a good point- perhaps Dorothea gave him the wrong impression of what she wanted. 2y

CoffeeNBooks @Bklover @peanutnine yes, ick! 2y

I don‘t know whether I‘m more disturbed that FB suggested this in my feed or that this book is in the Litsy database. #justno

Suet624 I agree. Both are disturbing. 6y

8little_paws I actually saved some of my cats fur when he died so I can make a knitted toy of him and put the fur in with the stuffing. I haven't started that yet, but I think this winter might be a good time. 6y
