I was shocked too. I didn't see that coming at all. The image of the doorknob is very powerful, the way he notices every detail of it, as you do when something happens that you will remember all your life. -- LJG Discussion board

In reply to: teddie 's message, "I was shocked too, not expecting what was behind the door at all! What I was not surprised about was the betrayal of John...I had a feeling it would come eventually, but I still wasn't ready for it. I think that, sadly, Lord John will never find real happiness with a mate...Hmmm, maybe if he could TT into the more liberalized future, well......." on 00:10:25 09/01/07 Sat

yes such a powerful image for sure. (NT) -- oorjanie, 07:54:27 09/01/07 Sat
- Loved how DG re-used that imagery later at another important point in the story (when John met his mother and she nearly shot him ). "He set his hand on the doorknob, it was white china, painted with roses, and a pang went through him at the cool slick touch of it on his hand, but there was not time to think of that now." God, I LOVE how that woman writes! (NT) -- Jane, 20:54:58 09/01/07 Sat
  - yes, me too. it is incredible (NT) -- oorjanie, 17:53:15 09/02/07 Sun
