@John73014818 I signed up for Substack and will see how it works. Looking forward to the next two books. Wish The Betrothed were in paperback.

@RunningText2 @KJBoldon @RachelYoder It was during War and Peace #2. Wish they’d do Middlemarch again!

@zortizfuentes @APublicSpace What is IG?

[Janice Axelrod @JaniceAxelrod]

@MoMcGran Or forgotten standing right in front of them.

Miss Marchmont, mentioned again, showed Lucy that true love can transform an entire lifetime. #APStogether

c 39 “They asked but two or three years of devotion—…one of the number, perhaps, wished he might die”. Wow! Not subtle. #APStogether

[Janice Axelrod @JaniceAxelrod]

@zortizfuentes Agree!

[Janice Axelrod @JaniceAxelrod]

c 38. “There seems, to my memory, an entire darkness and distraction in some certain minutes I then passed alone …What should I do …”. A poignant description of the first moments after a great loss. #APStogether

#apstogether. When you realize that most people are focused on themselves, not on you.

"The multitude have something else to do than to read hearts and interpret dark sayings. Who wills may keep his own counsel - be his own secret's sovereign...my whole inner life for the last six months, was still mine only." #APStogether

c. 37: “There is, in lovers, a certain infatuation of egotism; they will have a witness of their happiness, cost that witness what it may.” So true. #APStogether

@APublicSpace #APStogether Sorry, Lucy! Chemistry was strong between Graham and Polly from the start. Lucy needs someone deeper to appreciate her character.

[Janice Axelrod @JaniceAxelrod]

@andreamoro Me, neither. But I’m sure LS will start her school. #apstogether

[Janice Axelrod @JaniceAxelrod]

@KJBoldon Right!

[Janice Axelrod @JaniceAxelrod]

LB’s journey to Basse-Ville reminded me so much of Pip’s visit to Miss Havisham’s that I was surprised GE was written after Vilette. But I’m sure CB and Dickens influenced each other. #APStogether

[Janice Axelrod @JaniceAxelrod]

@jpschmader Thanks for sharing! Beautiful mom!

[Janice Axelrod @JaniceAxelrod]

M. Paul reminds me of a colorful Dickens character. #APStogether

[Janice Axelrod @JaniceAxelrod]

LB goes to battle with Creative Impulse in a very long and creative sentence: “I, to whom nature had denied the impromptu faculty …as though each word had been a drop of the deathless ichor of its own dark veins.”

@westofcanon @heathermwolf1 But there are no pictures in this book!

[Janice Axelrod @JaniceAxelrod]

@KJBoldon #apstogether I agree and cringe at M. Paul’s bullying and classic signs of abuse. How about Rochester in Jane Eyre? Maybe some points for changing or being ahead of their time?

[Janice Axelrod @JaniceAxelrod]

@zortizfuentes #APStogether Yes, and then —“The answer … from the Estrada, was given in the gesticulation of a hand from behind the pyramid.”
