I mean, she eventually does, but it takes foreeeever. Didn’t she have that awkward moment when she recognized the two guys in her random French exam?

“Died of sadness” is a very legit prognosis/cause of death in ye olde times. I mentioned it in my review as well!

Ghost-nun showdown! I want this to happen so bad!… but I know that CB will let me down 🙁

SIGH. Villette is making me mad at Charlotte Bronte, which I totally don’t want to be! I may need to go read Jane Eyre for a palate cleanser.

GREAT POINT. It’s so much less convenient to deliver the fruit last! Lucy is an idiot! She’s an idiot and she’s mean! Shut up Lucy!

Ahahaha Lucy. All Catholics look the same to her.

“She decides she’s not threatened by Justine Marie because she figures Justine Marie was probably insipid and terrible.” yessss

We’re totally not getting this ghost showdown. Despite all of the promises that there would be one.

Paul and probably NO GHOST NUN SHOWDOWNS AT ALL, even though that would be amazing.”

It really WOULD be amazing, and probably will never happen, because Charlotte Bronte is Lucy Snowe and they both hate the whole world.
