Austen_meets_Annie Good opening line: "Time wore on, and spring matured. The surface of England began to look pleasant: her fields grew green, her hills fresh, her gardens blooming; but at heart she was no better." 1h

Austen_meets_Annie "He wondered (he remarked parenthetically) what noodle first made it the fashion to teach women French. Nothing was more improper for them. It was like feeding a rickety child on chalk and water gruel." & "Having but an indifferent opinion of women, he always suspected them. He thought they needed constant watching.??? 1h
Bklover As Fanny helps Caroline dress to go visit the “old maids” I find myself wondering about Fanny‘s life. Does she have a life of her own at all? She seems so insignificant. Also, having met the men in this novel, Caroline should consider herself lucky that she isn‘t forced to be married to one of those assholes. Oh, and @Austen_meets_Annie - “they needed constant watching” just about put me over the edge!” 18m
lil1inblue It's so crazy that Caroline is considering resigning herself to be an old maid at 18. 😬 I know times were different and all, but it's still crazy. now
Austen_meets_Annie @Bklover so much misogyny this chapter. Is Shirley going to show up and save the day????? now
