Subject: Well, it definitely had something to do with a George Everett, remember John thought about asking about him when writing to his mother the first night he arrived at Ardsmuire? (page 123 paperback version Voyager) His brother Hal had told their Mother his banishment was the result of an "unfortunate affair of the heart". Everett was in Hellfire club but that took place after John had returned from Ardsmuire. On meeting George again in Hellfire Everett's perfume reminded John of "tumbled linens, and the touch of hard and knowing hands". By the end of Hellfire Everett was in a fight with John in Medmenham Abbey after John had been drugged and put in a room with a dead woman to set him up and keep him from ratting out the club. I am guessing a pretty serious falling out since John cut George's face with a bit of jagged glass, before Harry Quarry, coming to save John, ran him through. I assumed Everett died.
In reply to: tlk2vicki 's message, "There are some terrific discussions already down below, but I don't think my question has been addressed yet. I remember reading that LJ was sent to Ardsmuir because there was some sort of scandal he was involved in. Do we know what that scandal was? I thought it would be explained in this book, but I can't figure out what it is. Also, let me say that this is almost my favorite book of the entire series. I have loved LJ since his very first appearance defending Claire's honor. Getting to see him "in action" as both a military man and a lover has deepened my respect for him. Several of my close family members are homosexual and I feel I understand their motivations much better after reading this. I also read a fair amount of erotica - Diana knows how to put across love and lust very well!" on 18:22:47 09/07/07 Fri
