BarkingMadRead @mcctrish omg the freaking hat 🙄 #priorities 2w

Clare-Dragonfly That‘s why I called him Ludo in the first place 😂😂😂 2w

Clare-Dragonfly And yeah, as soon as the guy wouldn‘t tell Ludo his name, I knew it wasn‘t going to be V. 2w

Bookwormjillk I was a bit shocked it wasn‘t V myself. But then again we still have many chapters to go. 2w

Bklover I wonder where V is? Maybe he‘s moved on! (I sure hope not after all this) 2w

peanutnine I had a feeling the creeper wasn't V cause he would have already admitted it to Emily, he was always really frank about his stalker tendencies lol 2w

mcctrish @Bklover he‘s still partying in Paris 2w

julieclair @mcctrish I sure do hope you‘re wrong about partying in Paris, but my gut tells me you‘re right. 😒 2w

mcctrish This. Was. Bonkers. Also does Ann use up all her words describing the scenery and has none left over for the actual stuff? And by stuff I mean papers that get burned and portraits that make you faint 1mo

BarkingMadRead @mcctrish for real though! 1mo

Clare-Dragonfly This was such a long chapter but at least stuff happened? Very annoyed that we don‘t get to see what‘s behind the curtain. My money is on a dead body. ☠️ 1mo

BarkingMadRead @Clare-Dragonfly I would love it if it was a dead body, we need some action. 1mo

TheAromaofBooks I literally looked up spoilers to see what was behind the curtain because I couldn't deal with not knowing! 😂 1mo

BarkingMadRead @TheAromaofBooks Omg you know?!? Don‘t tell me. But omg. No. Don‘t tell me. Ahhhhhhh 1mo

Bklover @TheAromaofBooks I think you just gave me my justification to peek. 🫣 😊😊 1mo

Bookwormjillk Finished this chapter at exactly 11:59 pm. You know it‘s a long one when the hashtags extend into the comments. I giggled a bit when Auntie was like”whatever.” 1mo

TheAromaofBooks @BarkingMadRead @Bklover - I have to confess to the fact that I'm a spoiler lover 😂I don't like being stressed when I'm reading so sometimes I just gotta know! 😆 1mo

Clare-Dragonfly I was glad to see that Manchon is still around! 1mo

mcctrish @Cuilin #praisebe 🤣🤣 ‘The Change‘ has quite a different meaning here 2mo

Bookwormjillk @Cuilin 😂😂😂 2mo

Cuilin @mcctrish on a daily basis due to brain fog I say “is this Covid, ADHD, or menopause?” I‘m now going to add in “or was I bitten by a vampire?” 🧛‍♂️😝 2mo

mcctrish @Cuilin I‘m going to say vampire from here on out, makes my life more exciting 2mo

CatLass007 🧛‍♂️ 2mo

rubyslippersreads Lucy certainly had a lot of beaux. And three out of the four actually wanted to *give* her their blood. 😂🦇🩸 2mo

Bklover @Cuilin I blame everything on menopause, but maybe I should switch to 🧛‍♀️😂 2mo

BarkingMadRead @bklover @Cuilin 🧛🏻‍♀️ is so much cooler, IMO 🤷🏻‍♀️ nobody would dare come at you for symptoms of being a vampire 🤣 (edited) 2mo

Bookwormjillk So much going on in this chapter! Bram keeps it moving! 2mo

Clare-Dragonfly I made a connection on this read that Lucy‘s strange attacks start out specifically on the grave of a suicide. I don‘t know exactly what that would have meant to the CoE of the time, but from their comments earlier it‘s obviously a particularly bad place to be. 2mo

mcctrish @Bookwormjillk he sure does! So Renfeld has escaped, his dr is Lucy‘s betrothed? She‘s now addicted to vampire bites, Keanu is checked into the same hospital as Renfeld? Or sent to recover farther afield? Dracula‘s house is beside the hospital where Renfeld is hence the escape #themasterhascometohim #somuchbiting 2mo

Cuilin @Clare-Dragonfly I was just looking up vampire lore and came across other ways to become a vampire excluding being bitten by one, and suicide is on the list. (edited) 2mo

julieclair @Cuilin Interesting! I didn‘t realize there were other ways besides being bitten. 2mo

Cuilin @mcctrish “get thee to a penitentiary” lol 4mo

Cuilin A girls life hangs in the balance, but heaven forbid we let Mr. Bellingham get annoyed. 😳 4mo

IndoorDame I thought even at this time a penitentiary was a prison. Is there another meaning? 4mo

BarkingMadRead @IndoorDame I looked it up, it‘s more of a charitable institution for fallen women, it‘s basically a rehab to make them “fit for society” 🙄 4mo

IndoorDame @BarkingMadRead 😬 better than prison I guess, but we all know those places have super shady track records historically… 4mo

Clare-Dragonfly I was thinking a penitentiary must be more like a workhouse. A place for “fallen women” makes sense—a place for penitents… I‘m disappointed in my Penguin Classics edition having endnotes, but not one that explains “penitentiary.” 4mo

mcctrish @Cuilin YES! Heaven forbid the boy is annoyed 4mo

Cuilin @IndoorDame @Clare-Dragonfly it‘s giving Magdalene Laundries Scandal. 4mo

Bookwormjillk That 5 seconds of defending her was more than I thought she was going to get. Yes very worried about the money. 4mo

IndoorDame 🙋🏻‍♀️ Having major anxiety about the money! 4mo

AllDebooks Urgh, he's so awful. Sending Mummy in to clean up his mess, no doubt, again!! 4mo

mcctrish @IndoorDame I totally said “take the money with you dumbass” in a Jennifer Coolidge voice 4mo

IndoorDame @mcctrish I was doing the horror movie thing, but substituting “don‘t go into the dark creepy basement!” for take the money!/go back and see if the money is still there!” She may have no experience with men, but she has some experience with poverty already, so she it‘s not naïveté that keeps her from realizing how close she is to slipping into abject poverty and what that is. I‘ve decided to blame this character flaw on her being a teenager. 4mo

Clare-Dragonfly Mrs. B is so awful!! She is absolutely determined to see Ruth as bad and Henry as totally innocent, even though Henry tells her straight-up that it‘s his fault (which is far better than I expected of him). I‘m sure Gaskell is just using her to show the prevailing attitude of the time but I can still hate her 😡😡😡 4mo

Clare-Dragonfly I‘m not worried about the money—it‘s in her own room and I‘m pretty sure the landlady and her servants are honest, good people. I‘ve been wrong before though 😂 And I love the “deformed man” saving Ruth by needing help himself—just like when Clarence jumps in the river in It‘s a Wonderful Life! 4mo

willaful LOL, I'm glad I'm not the only one freaking about the money. The people in this book are very good at justifying their own terrible behavior, so I just see it being taken. 4mo

mcctrish @willaful I totally think it could be taken to cover Ruth‘s extra expenses or Mrs B could be charged enough to cover all of it #inaperfectworld and Ruth will have a small sum to start just above the gutter. Ruth is a bit too Blanche Dubois for me (although women can‘t actually do anything for themselves so of course they have to depend on the kindness of men/strangers #somuchforasisterhood ) 4mo

currentlyreadinginCO things really took a turn here 😳😳😳 4mo

Ruthiella OMG Please keep the money Ruth! I remember Tess also being stupid/too proud/too timid to go to Angel‘s family once they were married. 4mo

Aimeesue Excellent pic of the awful Mrs. B! That‘s her all over. 4mo

jewright Good grief this chapter made me so angry. The double standard is awful. 4mo

willaful @mcctrish She's a lot, lot younger than Blanche. 4mo

BarkingMadRead @Crinoline_Laphroaig such a jerk! 🙄🙄 5mo

Clare-Dragonfly Eeeee I do not like Bellingham. He has the superficial trappings of a hero but he‘s all about Ruth just because she‘s pretty, when he must know their status in life is too different for any romance! And then he literally calls a poor person‘s house a pigsty! He‘s so thoughtless. 5mo

Bookwormjillk @Cuilin Bellingham can not be trusted 5mo

mcctrish @Crinoline_Laphroaig 🤣🤣🤣 5mo

mcctrish Bellingham was half okay when he seemed shook at his supposed betrothed lack of regard for Ruth helping her but is absolutely clueless to how little time Ruth has to herself 🤷🏻‍♀️ like it takes a village for him to have tea, what does he think it takes for actual full time living?! 5mo
