Exactly. Jamie's anger/exasperation at that point is completely focused on Lord John. Remember what the comment was that prompted Jamie's reaction ("I did not come here with the intention of seducing your husband" or words to that effect). Jamie is outraged, I think, as much on Claire's behalf as his own. And John realizes the comment was uncalled-for, and immediately apologizes. -- LJG Discussion board

In reply to: GwenM 's message, "Sorry - I did niot see it as Jamie telling Claire to behave in ANY WAY whatsoever. When he banged his fist on the desk (and that WAS OUTRAGE), Jamie yelled one word "JOHN". Jamie in NO WAY rebuked Claire. All Claire asked was why did John come there." on 15:50:21 09/29/07 Sat

Yes, John's response to Claire was completely over the line, especially in that time and place, as he himself realizes. I do think it's an interesting example (and there aren't very many) of a time when John actually verbalizes something of this deep truth about his unrequited and unresolved feelings for Jamie. Are there other times when he talks openly about it in Jamie's presence, or just with Bree, and later, indirectly, with Claire? (NT) -- pamelalass, 17:50:56 09/29/07 Sat
