CatLass007 Pretty. 1y

Cuilin Sybil is great, but Wilmet is a bit too judgmental. She needs to find her bliss. 1y

peanutnine @Cuilin Wilmet is judgmental but so far I'm enjoying her commentary on others 😅 1y

Bookwormjillk But what did happen at the hunting lodge in 1883?? 1y

BarkingMadRead @Bookwormjillk right?!? Whyyyyy didn‘t they tell us? Will we find out later? We need to know! 1y

Bookwormjillk @BarkingMadRead wow!! 1y

Cuilin @peanutnine 😂 1y

TheAromaofBooks That's quite the article!!! 😳 I like Wilment but am always confused by people who are bored or feel like they have too much spare time. Find a hobby!! 😂 1y

rubyslippersreads @TheAromaofBooks Perhaps Wilmet thinks giving blood is a hobby. 🤣 1y

TheAromaofBooks @rubyslippersreads - And eating suspicious salads 😂 😂 😂 1y

dabbe @Morr_Books 🤣🤣🤣 I never was so excited to see such a short chapter! 🤩 1y

Bklover Yawn 🥱. See you tomorrow!😆 1y

willaful I didn't want to stop -- next chapter looks very exciting! 1y

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

Cuilin Lucy slipped up she said “he”. 🫢 oops 🤫😉 2y

Clare-Dragonfly @Cuilin Is that what her mistake is?! I don‘t get it 😂 2y

mcctrish Even awfuler than before @TheBookHippie 🤦🏻‍♀️ 2y

TheBookHippie @mcctrish OY TO THE VEY.. 2y

Bookwormjillk Awful but entertaining 🤣 2y

Ruthiella @Cuilin @Clare-Dragonfly I wondered about that too. Is it the line “It makes such a difference when you see a person with beautiful things behind HIM unexpectedly.” So that we understand that SHE was overtaken in the moment just as he was? 2y

dabbe And all the exchanging of coins: a comedy of manners. Charlotte seems to be concerned about doing the right thing about reimbursing for the cab, but as with everything re: Charlotte, it's annoying to everyone, especially Lucy. 2y

Cuilin @Ruthiella @Clare-Dragonfly yes. She gave it away that she was overcome not “him”. That the beauty of it all got to her and she still thinks of it!!! 2y

ravenlee The endnote in the Penguin edition: “It perhaps is worth explaining the ‘unfortunate slip‘ in Lucy‘s speech. She clearly reverses the point of view, meaning to say, ‘It makes such a difference when you see a person with beautiful things behind her unexpectedly.‘ Lucy has made an early version of the Freudian Slip. @Clare-Dragonfly @Ruthiella @Cuilin 2y

ravenlee @dabbe I think the word “punctilious” applies here. Also, why wouldn‘t she have smaller coins? Wouldn‘t that be like traveling in the U.S. with hundred-dollar bills and quarters, but nothing in between? How hare-brained. 2y

Cuilin @ravenlee Exactly. Interesting that Charlotte doesn‘t pick up on this. I guess she‘s all in a dither about coins again. 2y

Clare-Dragonfly @Cuilin Ooh, I see! That makes sense, but is Charlotte observant enough to pick up on it? 2y

Clare-Dragonfly Speaking of Charlotte, I suspect she wanted to be seen as virtuous for offering to pay, but for her money to not actually be accepted because they wouldn‘t have change. 2y

BarkingMadRead @Clare-Dragonfly definitely! I don‘t think she actually expected them to take her money! 2y

BarkingMadRead I bet Charlotte picked up on it and is saving it for another day! 2y

dabbe @ravenlee I think she does it on purpose--just like her always saying things like “Oh, I'll sit on the hard ground, Lucy, you take the seat.“ She LOVES being not only the center of attention but creating angst; she feeds off of it. But then that would put her in an even darker category than just being a twit (that was the word in the book right?) 2y

dabbe @Clare-Dragonfly YES! A way to “pretend“ to be virtuous but not really intending to be. I'd hate to ever turn my back on Charlotte! 🤣 2y

Bklover @Clare-Dragonfly Yep! She is a manipulative sneak. @ravenlee I had no idea what she referring to 2y

julieclair @ravenlee Thanks for the explanation! I am listening on audio and was completely clueless what the “unfortunate slip” was, even after listening to it several times. 🤪 2y

eeclayton @Cuilin @ravenlee Thank you for clearing up what the slip was. I'm reading this in translation and this aspect is completely lost in my version 2y

Bookwormjillk Three hours!! You deserve a big scandal or something. I did love Mrs Cadwallader‘s description of Ladislaw though. “Oh he‘s a dangerous young sprig with his opera songs and his ready tongue.” OPERA SONGS! OH THE HORRORS! 2y

BarkingMadRead @Bookwormjillk right!!? Because obviously that makes him dangerous, he might sing you to death 🤣🤣 2y

Aimeesue @Bookwormjillk @BarkingMadRead Not the opera! Anything but the opera! 2y

CoffeeNBooks I had a hard time focusing on this chapter. 🥴 2y

JamieArc This thread prepared me for this chapter 🥱😴 2y
