Subject: True, I forgot about his grief over losing Willie...
In reply to: Conmama 's message, "I think much of his feelings back at Lallybroch had to do with his sense of loss over Willie. I don't know if it alludes to it in the main books or not, but I imagine he may have been depressed. No Claire, No Willie, No Lairdship. That's one of the reasons I'm never angered at Jenny. She had to help him deal with all of this." on 05:32:47 09/11/07 Tue

  • Iwould have to say that Jamie not telling anyone about Willie, yet still so vividly grieving "something", is a strong force when J returns to Lallybroch. He is not the same man who went to Ardsmuir, and he takes some adjusting to. Ten years of things have happened that Lallybroch has no knowledge of. I am sure we could imagine how changed our sibling or child might be after an experience like this. It would be like being 20 and leaving home when your siblings are 8 or 9. Then coming back 10 years later to discover that they are now the age you were when you left. You still think of them as 8 or 9. In addition J has has all these experiences that he is NOT talking about. A moody stranger amonst your midst. (NT) -- Ellen P., 07:02:36 09/12/07 Wed
