I don't think that remark is as overt as it looks. At that time, it was common practice for travelers to share beds at inns. I think John just means that he might have met a man without realizing it. Hal may have read more into it than that, though. -- LJG Discussion board

In reply to: CatherineM. 's message, "Fascinating observation about the family -- LJ didn't know about Hal's first wife's seduction by Twelvetrees. About what Hal knew or didn't know: how did you lasses read the bit when Hal asked about someone LJ might or might not have known, and LJ jokes that he couldn't swear he hadn't anonymously shared a bed with him in an inn somewhere? I thought that was a pretty dangerous jest if Hal was suspicious . . . and Hal does lose his temper at this point. I'm not sure what to make of it . . . ." on 17:51:24 09/13/07 Thu

I agree- although I wouldn't put it past our feisty John to be sarcastically poking at Hal - since John knows that this could be a play on words...ya ken? (NT) -- Oleander, 06:35:54 09/14/07 Fri
