Subject: ummm...yeah I am really tired right now. Sorry about the above sentence...I would try to clarify, but am totally addled, so would probably make it worse :)
In reply to: Oleander 's message, "The nakedness that John speaks of....how many ladies feel that in this moment John understands that perhaps Jaime has been though an ordeal which causes him to view John's predelictions with something more than the usual abhorrence one would hold?" on 18:00:23 11/11/07 Sun

  • I understood it perfectly. I think the exchange does open up a course of specualtion for John about just what Jamie may have experienced that caused him to have such a complete and violent revulsion. It's a rare open moment where they are both unguarded in their speech and I think it's a true turning point for John at least. (NT) -- kgp, 18:20:38 11/11/07 Sun

  • Yes, it is a turning point for Lord John -- the point where he finally realizes the reason for Jamie's hostility toward him. Clearly he wishes he could take the words back, but he can't, it's out in the open between them now, and neither of them will ever forget it. To me, the scene in the stable and John's reaction to it has the emotional power of a grenade going off -- sudden, explosive, and leaving those in the vicinity badly shaken and trying to pick up the pieces.

  • If you open Karen's link to Diana's posts on Compuserve above herself gave us some additional insights (I think on the 6th page or 7th) into the stable scene and John's reaction to it. You might want to look her comments, if you have a moment, . (NT) -- Jane, 19:14:43 11/12/07 Mon
