TheBookHippie I had to bail. Just couldn‘t get into it. Too much going on here. 2mo
BarkingMadRead @TheBookHippie totally get it! Do you want me to take you off of the tag list? @Bookwormjillk I just knew it! Yikes! 2mo
TheBookHippie @BarkingMadRead oh don‘t do extra work. 😝 2mo
rubyslippersreads @TheBookHippie @BarkingMadRead I‘ve bailed too. Too many other books calling my name. But leave me on the tag list; I might check in to see how you‘re all doing. 😁 2mo
mcctrish Don‘t forget more crying 😭 😭 also getting Cinderella vibes with the remote room and only the dog for a friend 2mo
Bklover @Bookwormjillk @mcctrish I‘m very concerned about the dog! I can‘t believe that witch stuck her in a teeny tiny room. It‘s just guaranteed to make her cry more! 🙄. And I wonder who feeds the dog and takes him potty, etc. Anyway. @BarkingMadRead V still seems creepy to me. 2mo
AnishaInkspill I read this last year and finished with a mixed reaction, where I would read this again though it took me 5 months to read it 2mo
Clare-Dragonfly @Bklover Oh, I‘m sure they have servants to do that, just like at home! St Aubert died so terribly poor, Emily can only afford to keep one servant at the house she‘s not even living in! How ever will she manage 😂 2mo
Bklover Exactly!!!😂🤣😂 2mo
ElizaMarie Ha I am curious how old V is. This will help me decide if he is a #Creeper. Also… now the doggie gets to hear her cry more! 2mo
julieclair @ElizaMarie Good question about V‘s age! I always assumed he was in his mid-twenties, but he could certainly be much older. Then he‘d be a #Creeper for sure. 2mo

Bookwormjillk This should be a movie 4mo
mcctrish Can we talk about Mr Lee-Mittison? He likes young single women, not young marrieds or widows ( rather sad those ones) and he likes to entertain making animal noises. #cringe 4mo

BarkingMadRead @mcctrish so so cringe 4mo
IndoorDame @mcctrish and his wife is just thrilled that he‘s so “popular” 😬 4mo
mcctrish @IndoorDame they are soooo weird 4mo
Cuilin @Bookwormjillk I suggest we start a campaign 4mo
Bookwormjillk @Cuilin yes who should we talk to? 4mo
Cuilin @Bookwormjillk Merchant Ivory? 😉 4mo
julieclair That photo! Perfect! 4mo
rubyslippersreads Yes, Mr. & Mrs. L-M are very strange. He‘s a creeper, and she‘s his enabler. 😏 4mo

TheAromaofBooks I have found it so interesting that these random short “nothing really happened“ chapters have been scattered throughout! Such an intriguing writing method. 1y

Chapter 17: Lucy hears how she was found by Pere Silas and Dr John…. #notmuchhappened #nextchapterinvolvesaquarrel #thatshouldinspirebetterhashtags #pemberlittens

Clare-Dragonfly What difference does it make if she‘s a Catholic or not?! I see that it was reasonable to ask (because she‘s English, so he would assume she‘s Protestant, but she went to confession, so that indicates she is Catholic). But why on earth would he care? UNLESS HE IS IN LOVE WITH HER AND WANTS TO MARRY HER. …but I find that highly unlikely. 2y
BarkingMadRead @Clare-Dragonfly yeah. That was way strange, I don‘t know what difference it makes at all! 2y

RebelReader This chapter was a bit uneventful, but I‘m looking forward to the quarrel tomorrow! The religion thing was a bigger deal back then I think than it is now. 2y
KristiAhlers This chapter was a bit boring but taking the time period into consideration when she wrote it religion would be a serious issue. Just my two cents worth. 2y
suvata This was as a rather uneventful chapter. Lucy appears to be happy in the company of her Godmother and Dr. John. I too am confused about if/why Lucy may considering converting to Catholicism. That would definitely be scandalous in Protestant England. 2y
Bklover Yawn. Looking forward to The Quarrel. 2y
