And he goes beyond witnessing, to a strange act of near "mercy-killing" (another recurring theme in DG) - - so, why do you think he is moved to act in this "brotherly" fashion, when, it's true, unlike Jamie and Gavin, he barely knows Bates? -- LJG Discussion board

In reply to: Jane 's message, "That John would do this for a man he'd only met once, a man who even implied he might be tempted to blackmail him, makes John all that more amazing." on 06:20:43 10/15/07 Mon

He had paid for a leg-puller to perform that office but they weren't there. I think it was an act of mercy for a fellow officer as well as the motivation that it might so easily have been him on the gallows for the crime of sodomy had he been less fortunate or of a lesser social standing. John has a strong sense of justice and honor. (NT) -- kgp, 06:58:37 10/15/07 Mon
