Ruthiella It‘s so hard not to read ahead to see how this will be resolved ! 😬 3mo

Cuilin IT TAKES TWO!! SHE WAS A CHILD!! Sorry for screaming but nobody even mentioned the fully grown adult male!! 😡 3mo

Cuilin @Ruthiella why do I think we will not get a happy ending? 3mo

BarkingMadRead @Cuilin @Ruthiella I‘m wondering the same 😢 3mo

AllDebooks @Cuilin yep, it's not looking great for Ruth, is it? 3mo

willaful Ugh. I feel very sorry for Ruth and I know she's a product of her times, but as a mom, her conversation with Leonard made me want to scream. The worst way she could possibly have broken the news! Crying all over your kid and wishing you could die, so traumatic for him.

And the hypocrisy of Bradshaw! “Means to an end“ is fine when *he* does it! 🤬 3mo

dabbe Patriarchy is MALARKEY!!! #bradshawsuckspondwater 😤 3mo

mcctrish @Cuilin YES! Can we throw Bellingshit under the bus ?! He groomed a child to be his lover 3mo

mcctrish @dabbe 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 3mo

currentlyreadinginCO @willaful cringed at Ruth's telling to her son, too ? - sad that she's this traumatized from the "sin" and now exposure. Certain people will definitely still ostracize a young pregnant girl with no means of support but at least we've progressed slightly from the Victorian era with the darkness of this shame.... 3mo

Bookwormjillk Ugh these long frustrating chapters 3mo

willaful @Bookwormjillk yeah, with no doubt more misery to come. 😣 3mo

Aimeesue @willaful Right? So sad. And traumatic! 3mo

IndoorDame He had better not be the marrying kind! I‘m still skeptical 🧐 2y

peanutnine @IndoorDame I'm also very skeptical. He's so creepy but she seems drawn to him for some reason 2y

Bookwormjillk See yesterday I thought they were going to get married. Today I think he‘s her dad. 2y

BarkingMadRead @Bookwormjillk I wondered the same! He insinuated they were related somehow! 2y

Bookwormjillk @BarkingMadRead they have the same eyes! 2y

RebelReader I think they are related too. I thought that whole scene was creepy, but then this whole book has been all kinds of creepy. 🤪 2y

Clare-Dragonfly I was pleased to see Lucy snap back at him a little, but he hardly seems to have noticed! And she‘s always getting over his nastiness, so she‘ll probably get over his voyeurism, too 🙄 I am glad to be reminded of their separate religions, though. I don‘t think either will convert so I‘m less concerned that she will marry him. 2y

Clare-Dragonfly @Bookwormjillk Ooh, maybe! I think he just means they are mystically connected but that is an intriguing possibility. 2y

Ruthiella I agree they will never marry due to the differences in religion. But yes, this is TOTALLY CREEPY! 😱 2y

Bklover He‘s just such an ass! I highlighted this comment he made- paraphrasing- A woman of intellect was a sort of luckless accident, a thing there was neither place nor use in creation, wanted neither as wife nor worker. The next part is awful too, talking about how only lovely feminine placid passive mediocrity was the only pillow on which a manly thought could find rest for his aching temples. I really really dislike that man. (edited) 2y

BarkingMadRead @Bklover I cannot get over what an ass he is! 2y
