You know, I really thought that Ecuyer was an all-around jerk. His sending word to Nicholas' father had nothing to do with Bethie & Nicholas' happiness in my mind, rather it was another way for him to show that he knew better than Nicholas what was best for him. He was interfering, not helping. If he wanted to help anyone, it was himself -- he probably thought Nicholas' father would thank him for giving him a warning, of sorts, about this common woman and his son's foolishness. -- RBL Spoiler Board

[> [> Yep, gotta go with Ana on this one. He was a totally unredeemable SUBhuman being and his motives were completely self-serving. I think the sign of a great author is to be able to write a TOTALLY horrible, wicked villian, & I think Ecuyer is one of the best since the one in the "Bastard" series by John Jakes. This was a great accomplishement by Pamela & I applaude her talent in this area -- Vic, 07:55:18 04/04/05 Mon

[> [> [> You know how sometimes some briliant authors can turn a seriously nasty character from one book into a hero in another??? I was thinking, that there could have been a verrrry small ( like the hint of a smoke before the spark that starts a fire...) chance that this guy could be redeemed, but then I got to the part were he ordered the dogs to be shot! well that and the fact that he was a historical figure. What a waste of oxygen, eh? -- Lina, 19:46:37 04/04/05 Mon
