“I would like to hit her with a stick, Eleanor thought, looking down on Theodora's head beside her chair; I would like to batter her with rocks.
"An exquisite refinement, exquisite. Because of course the chalk strokes would have been almost unbearable,
excruciating, if the victim were ticklish."
I hate her, Eleanor thought, she sickens me; she is all
washed and clean and wearing my red sweater.”
(p.146)

Really wanted to actually finish chapter four today and I managed it!! Exciting stuff, first actual scary horror stuff happened at the later half of this chapter!! Unrelated but I swear Theodora and Eleanor have something going on 😭

I’m so sick rn but I’m finding the descriptions of the house and Eleanor’s fear of libraries very interesting lol

I was meant to go to bed but ended up reading another chapter lol. I really like the writing style!! It can be challenging at times but it also seems to be quite a quick read

I think Theodora and Eleanor should kiss and go live in a cottage together ❤️
