In reply to: Conmama 's message, "Ahh.....now I understand. Thanks. So, do you think there was friction between Hal and John because John wouldn't then just refer to himself as "honorable"?" on 07:58:43 09/06/07 Thu

But if he really assumed, as he states, that Hal must have known it was murder (that their mother had spoken to Hal of it), wouldn't he feel some anger or resentment towards Hal for accepting the insinuations that his father had killed himself, thereby in some way, admitting to the world that there was shame to be acknowleged? Does this make sense?

On second though, as CherylR said, maybe Grey accepted this from Hal because he understood Hal's need to have their father's name cleared before he used the name, a sort of reclaiming? (NT) -- Oleander, 09:38:06 09/06/07 Thu
I think he *does* feel anger and resentment toward Hal, because Hal shoved him off to Aberdeen and would never talk about the whole affair. (NT) -- maddiej, 11:44:50 09/06/07 Thu
- agreed. But does he also resent Hal's stubborn refusal to keep his fathers name? (NT) -- Oleander, 13:39:44 09/06/07 Thu
  - Yes, I think he thinks it's ridiculous...or at least that's the impression I came away with. (NT) -- Conmama, 05:34:00 09/07/07 Fri
  - They seem to sort of mutually respect (and maybe even admire) each other's stubborness, even if they're mutually opposed. (NT) -- maddiej, 12:27:25 09/07/07 Fri
