Subject: Susie, I like this explanation of why Duncan was capable with Phaedre. Given Duncan's life, Phaedre was the first to fuss over him, feeding him (the way to a man's heart), maybe really listening to him. I wonder how much Jo respected or asked for his opinions on anything. Conversations goes a long way to cement relationships.
In reply to: susiej 's message, "Now, as to why Duncan was "able" with Phoebe. That may have been the rub that really got to Jo- why with a slave but not with her? With a young girl but not an older woman. I can see why Jo's pride would be hurt even without the race issue, but I believe there is more to it. Duncan was a very shy private man. Jo was a succesful many times married woman- intimidating to everyone much less to a one armed fisherman who suddenly finds himself lord of the manor. But in time, as he became comfortable in that position, perhaps it gave him a confidance that he was able to share with Phoebe. But one also has to remember that she made the move (in Duncan's version of the story anyway). It was her breasts that were pressed against him. Maybe no one had done that before." on 13:59:47 02/23/09 Mon
