mcctrish What could go wrong? Doc says no to her nursing but then yes but he‘s pulling her out before #bellingshit notices her ( we know how that will go) and finally a brief mention of the name change explained ( property acquired and probably a scam) 2mo

Clare-Dragonfly “Never to meet in this world again?” MRS GASKELL DON‘T DO THIS TO ME. 😱 2mo

Clare-Dragonfly Also, Mr. Davis is such an ass! He says he wants Leonard to be his apprentice (does he have to adopt him for that to happen?) in the worst possible way, and refuses to take no for an answer. Does it not occur to anyone to ask Leonard what he thinks? I‘m sure Ruth would, but now that she has to be all self-sacrificing again, she won‘t have a chance. 2mo

AllDebooks NOOOO! Ruth has just escaped the plague at the hospital, now she's going to look after #Bellingshit 🫣 That's very irresponsible considering she has Leonard to care for. It's also a very Ruth thing to do. 2mo

IndoorDame @AllDebooks I know! She could at least make her mind up about school/apprenticeship/tutoring and and leave explicit instructions about who should take care of Leonard if something happens to her so he doesn‘t end up with #bellingshit especially now that she‘s let the cat out of the bag 2mo

Cuilin I can‘t with this drama!!! I think there‘s a fine line between selflessness and abnegating your own responsibilities. Leonard should come first. 2mo

Ruthiella Ruth is just too much of a martyr to be believed. The sacrifice is not worth it. 2mo

dabbe @Clare-Dragonfly Oh, yea, mini-heart stop at these words. 😱 2mo

dabbe @AllDebooks I love that you just turned the word RUTH into an allusion. 🧡🩶🧡 2mo

dabbe @Ruthiella 🎯! 2mo

Bookwormjillk I almost threw my kindle 2mo

dabbe @Bookwormjillk If only Ruth could have done more of that (using objects other than Kindles, of course!) 😂 2mo

willaful @Clare-Dragonfly I KNOW!

I admit, I was kind of expecting an infuriating happy ending where #bellingshit has a sickbed conversion and they get married but THIS IS WORSE! (I'm assuming from that phrase. 😭) 2mo

AllDebooks @dabbe 😊 2mo

julieclair This is off the rails. Ruth is too good for her own good (and Leonard‘s). 2mo

rubyslippersreads @Ruthiella @julieclair I agree. (edited) 2mo

rubyslippersreads @dabbe @AllDebooks I don‘t think Gaskell chose Ruth‘s name arbitrarily. 🙁 2mo

dabbe @rubyslippersreads I keep hearing in my head, “Whither thou goest, I will go ...“ The name Ruth is a common female name of Hebrew origin that means “friend,“ “friendship,“ or “compassionate friend.“ 😢 2mo

rubyslippersreads @dabbe Plus the word “ruth” means compassion or pity for another, sorrow misery about one's own misdeeds or flaws, sorrow for the misery of another; pity; tenderness. 2mo

dabbe @rubyslippersreads 🎯. That was our Ruth to a tee. 😭 2mo
