Johnny, Johnny, Johnny… 😔

Yikes…Conway, Clara, and Maria are playing a very dangerous game, in more ways than one!!

Lily Dale, you need a stern talking-to!!

Good grief! First Lily’s behaviour to Johnny in Book 5, and now Grace’s behaviour to Henry—will any girl ever accept an eligible young man again in Trollope?! 🤣

I’m rooting for you both, Mr Eames and Major Grantly!

Chapter 23
The letter!!!! 🤬🤬🤬

Chapter 24
Can calling a woman “a horse of another colour altogether” be seen as a compliment, in any possible way?! 🤣🤣🤣

A cliffhanger!! I’m rooting for you, Major Grantly!! I hope the archdeacon changes his mind and comes around to a point of charity and grace!!

Chapter 21

Mr Crawley certainly needs to develop a spirit of docility/teachability. He is very mulish! But at the same time, there’s a deeply-rooted part of Mr Crawley that I thoroughly understand, because I have also struggled so much with it: an anger and indignation when things aren’t the way they SHOULD rightfully be, but are the way they ARE, however different that is. I get it, Josiah, I get it!!

Chapter 20

There is a VERY fine line between helpfulness and best intentions, and machinations and manipulation! And Mr Robarts is riding it!!
