Holly time skip - 15 years

Eppie sounds like such a cutie - i have to remember to write out some of the quotes that i have stacked up

I think Chapter 12th will be my favorite one… hoollyy

I think im starting to see why this book is highly regarded. That was so well written omg… scary.

Doctor Kimble (country apothecaries enjoyed that title without authority of diploma), was flitting about the room (..), and being welcomed everywhere as a doctor by hereditary right-not one of those miserable apothecaries who canvass for practice in strange neighbourhoods, and spend all their income in starving their one horse, but a man of substance, able to keep an extravagant table like the best of his patients.

“Silas said "Good-bye, and thank you kindly, as he opened the door for Dolly, but he couldn't help feeling relieved when she was gone - relieved that he might weave again and moan at his case. “

Wow, i think this was the first chapter i actually didn’t struggle to read. That was a nice change.

“Favorable Chance is the god of all men who follow their own devices instead of obeying a law they believe in. Let even a polished man of these days get into a position he is ashamed to avow, and his mind will be bent on all the possible issues that may deliver him from the calculable results of that position.”

“And as memory, when duly impregnated with ascertained facts, is sometimes surprisingly fertile, Mr. Snell gradually recovered a vivid impression of the effect produced on him by the pedlars countenance and conversation. He had a "look with his eye" which fell unpleasantly on Mr. Snell's sensitive organism.“

Whats going on with the pregnancies…

“By this pregnant speech the farrier had re-established his self-complacency, and waited with confidence to hear himself named as one of the superlatively sensible men.”

By his what speech..?

"And you're a doctor, I reckon, though you're only a cow-doctor-for a fly's a fly though it may be a hoss-fly," concluded Mr. Macey, wondering a little at his own “cuteness."

“But where's the use o' talking?—you can't think what goes on in a 'cute man's inside."”

'Is't the meanin' or the words as makes folks fast i' wedlock?' For the parson meant right, and the bride and bridegroom meant right. But then, when I come to think on it, meanin' goes but a little way i most things, for you may mean to stick things together and your glue may be bad, and then where are you? And so I says to mysen, 'It isn't the meanin', it's the glue.'

What. This was the whole 6th chapter basically

Right im imagining Silas just standing awkwardly at the entrance of the rainbow while everyone else tries to ignore him and make conversation of which I GEN COULD NOT UNDERSTAND ANYTHING - WHAT THE FUCK WERE THEY ON ABOUTTTT ugh

Like at some point they talk about some wedding, then some cow, then ghosts and bets and I genuinely cant follow along or understand the context of anything. 🫩🫩

Scums

What am i even reading.. sure i understand the general gist of the plot but half the sentences just go right past me and make no sense - both in a contextual sense and language way…

Ughhhh this wont be a good read

“Have not men, shut up in solitary imprisonment, found an interest in marking the moments by straight strokes of a certain length on the wall, until the growth of the sum of straight strokes, arranged in triangles, has become a mastering purpose? Do we not wile away moments of inanity or fatigued waiting by repeating some trivial movement or sound, until the repetition has bred a want, which is incipient habit?”

Was so confused at the end of the second chapter 😭😭 i accidentally flipped like 5 pages and started reading mid chapter 3 for a good bit until i realized the storyline genuinely makes no sense and looked to find i didnt read the transition between chapters

Ups

Man fuck William Dane, dude gets the hots for his fiancée, seduces her, plants evidence Silas and gets him evicted from church ruining his life.

Bla bla bla liktenis bla bla cūkas bla bla tam puikam tuļin būs jāizpilda kkd drug deal bla bla bla hes getting manipulated.

Right there is MOST DEF kks sketchy going on, liek what tf notika ar stastu es jutos tait ka es citu gramatu lasitu, sis nav tas pats stasts or even stils vairs

Right, kapec Ahmeds uzvedas kā toxic and controlling boyfriend???

Like he just suddenly became rude, sarcastic, iedomīgs and visu laiku atrod veidu kā novest vainu uz puiku. And tas nabaga zens tik loti to nesaprot, vins jutas tik vainigs ughhh

‘ "Paldies, deliņ," viņš uz tevi paskatijās gandrīz tāpat, kā pirms briža vannā uz tevi skatijās Ruksis. Tu sajuti, ka arī tētis ir tavs draugs.
Tētis un Ruksis.
Bet ne mamma.
Kas par Nelaimīgo notikumu vainoja tevi. Krakšanas dēļ.’

Crazy reading this after zinot kas tas “nelaimīgais notikums” ir.

Right, how come tas bērns netika in any way sodīts par to ka viņš savam klasesbiedram aiz dusmām (par viņa krākšanu) iedeva permanent brain damage????

Džeks var vnk turpināt dzīvi kamēr šis nabags kļust isolated, gets bullied and made fun of par visu ko dara, novedot viņu līdz pašnāvības centieniem 15 gadu vecumā.

Biki atgadina “Kalendars mani sauc” bet, javina butu like 10-15 gadi

‘No, It couldn't have been about sliding. But listen, Billy, and I'll tell you a secret. Stick to sheets, Billy. Keep away from women and horses and, and - he stopped - eagles, Billy. If you love horses you'll get horse-shit, and if you love eagles you'll get eagle-shit? He stopped and put his head under the sheet.’

Okay cool!
