Not only that, but maybe realized that life was still worth living eh? Since Ardsmuir, I think John structured his life so much more carefully. Liasons such as this were dangerous and could potentially be his down fall. And yet, I think that the pull of the flesh, the affirmation of touching another human being in an intimate way, is and was necessary for a man living in such secrecy. -- LJG Discussion board

In reply to: Jane 's message, "Makes perfect sense Karen I'm pretty sure we all did things when we were young that have continued to haunt us when we were older. The "what ifs" and the if MY kids ever did that I would KILL them! John was very lucky only getting sent to Ardsmuir when he was "disgraced" that whatever it was didn't become public knowledge and ruin not just him but his family as well. I am sure he felt he'd dodged a bullet." on 14:41:02 10/31/07 Wed
