The following quote is taken from Drums of Autumn by Diana Gabaldon, chapter 71 “Circle’s Close”. Copyright (c) 1997 by Diana Gabaldon. All

  ”But you’re a priest, Reg, if not a Catholic—and more importantly,
you’re my friend. You needn’t reply to this; I don’t suppose
a reply is possible. But you can listen. One of your great gifts,
listening. Had I told you that before?
  I’m delaying, though I don’t know why I should. Best have it
out.
  You’ll recall the favor I asked you a few years ago—about the
gravestones at St. Kilda’s? Kind friend that you are, you never
asked, but it’s time I should tell you why.”

[> What did Frank know? One of the great mysteries of our time. Far more interesting than who shot JR. -- jayn, 09:01:11 03/09/12 Fri

[> I think he knew that Claire spoke the truth; that she was going to go back; that Bree was also going to go. Why else train Bree in riding, shooting, camping etc. when it was nothing he enjoyed himself? To my mind, it makes him supremely selfish. This trait fits perfectly in with the older professor who marries the young student and feels entitled to affairs. His redemption is in loving Claire enough to let her go to med school in the early 50's. She would have been the only woman in her class. And that he loved Bree so competely. Aren't we all a mix? I'm just glad I never had to live in his skin. -- swarl, 12:03:21 03/09/12 Fri
