Hi Read-Along Participants,
This month, we’re reading and discussing Aurora Floyd chs. 29-31 (and also 28, which we accidentally skipped last month).
Chapter XXVIII: Aurora, realizing Mellish knows her secret, decides to run to spare Mellish the pain of confronting her. On the train, she decides to go to Talbot for advice.
Chapter XXIX: Mellish, finding Aurora gone, orders Mrs. Powell to leave and decides to search for Aurora at her father’s.
Chapter XXX: Talbot doesn’t want to let Aurora in, fearing she may contaminate Lucy. He is prevailed upon to do so by his usually submissive wife.
Chapter XXXI: Talbot decides to help Aurora by sending for Mellish. He advises them to get married ASAP.
Discussion Questions:
Q1: What do you make of Lucy’s sudden character change?
Q2: Do you believe Aurora is innocent?
Q3: What did you find most interesting about this month’s installment, and why?
Q4: What do you make of Talbot’s sense of foreboding at the end of the installment?
Only three more installments to go!
