True. I thought it was hilarious, during the confrontation with his mother at the end, when she says she couldn't have told them because "you *know* what Hal is like," and Grey replies, "Yes. He's just like you, mother. And me." Stubbornness really does run in the family. -- LJG Discussion board

In reply to: kgp 's message, "True - but Benedicta's reluctance to pursue it has to do with not wanting John and Hal to get killed for it. She's biding her time until she has enough evidence to beard those responsible herself rather than risk her sons or General Stanley. Hal is also quietly pursuing something - when John reminds him in the library that he is no longer 12 but a grown man Hal responds that is precisely the reason he isn't telling him anything. None of them is actually letting it lie." on 12:49:39 01/10/08 Thu

Mothers and sons - I'd love to hear her opinion on Edgar and Paul. Wonder if we'll meet Paul inthe next one. (NT) -- kgp, 05:24:05 01/11/08 Fri
- Funny you should ask about Paul - I asked that exact question on Compuserve a few days ago and Diana's response was interesting and unexpected. (inside >>>>) -- Karen, 05:54:47 01/11/08 Fri
  - I was glad you asked about Paul and that herself is at least thinking about including him in a later book, even if it might be just a brief mention in a short story in yet another anthology. I doubt either of the older brothers will turn up in American to fight in the revolution, not being soldierly types, but I won't be startled if Hal turns up in Echo.

    - Now that would be very interesting indeed. Hal is between Jamie and John in age so it wouldn't be impossible. Also, one or more of his sons may have a commission by then as well, although I would presume that Willie's commission is with the Grey's regiment so perhaps the rest of the family is already ashore but we just haven't met them yet? hmmmmmm (NT) -- kgp, 06:26:07 01/11/08 Fri
      - Are you sure? I was thinking that Jamie is just about the same age as Hal. Weren't they both about 25 at the time of Culloden? (NT) -- maddiej, 13:29:33 01/11/08 Fri
        I think Hal is a few months older than Jamie, but not more than a year older. Diana said the other day that Hal is 9 years older than John, and we know Jamie is 8 years older than John. (NT) -- Karen, 14:46:11 01/11/08 Fri
