I have tears welled up in my eyes just from reading the summary! This is embarrassing at work. <b>Question</b> Why does Archie ask Philippa to 'break him'? Lymond is on the edge, obviously, but does he feel he must be pushed farther (break) before he can come to his senses? I would be afraid that in the breaking he would most definitely attempt suicide again. -- Shamrocks & Stones

My sense of those words, is that Archie knows Philippa is the only one with the power to save Lymond. Break him down and build him back up- make him give in to his love, make him promise to keep his life sacrosanct for your sake, if he can't do it for his own. (NT) -- celtgirl, 08:26:54 04/29/09 Wed
- You bet, and don't you also think Archie knew Philippa was the only person in the world who might be able to accomplish that? Archie is the perfect ally for Lymond. Poor Lymond seems to know what's right for everybody else but himself. (NT) -- E, 10:31:56 04/29/09 Wed
  - Oops, I'm so dumb - read your answer way too fast, cg. Okay, time for some rest. I'm really off the mark today! (NT) -- E, 10:34:20 04/29/09 Wed
    - We're just thinking alike, woman- great minds and all that stuff. :) (NT) -- celtgirl, 12:06:24 04/29/09 Wed
      - Then I'm thinking it's time for both of us to sit down by the pool with a drink in our hands! (NT) -- E, 12:36:46 04/29/09 Wed
        I'll have a margarita, 'kay- just have to find my shorts, I'll be with you in a tick. :) (NT) -- celtgirl, 12:39:08 04/29/09 Wed
        We are hoping to go to Bahama Breeze for supper tonight. If Adam is cooperative. Meeting my BIL and SIL there. I'll order a margarita for you (and drink it for you, too!). (NT) -- E, 13:05:37 04/29/09 Wed
        The things you will do in the name of friendship, E. It brings a tear to my eye. :) (NT) -- celtgirl, 13:07:37 04/29/09 Wed
        You know, sometimes a person just has to make the big sacrifices in order to enrich a friendship. I'm willing to take on that awesome responsibility, cg. (NT) -- E, 14:23:06 04/29/09 Wed
        You're too good to me. I looked up the restaurant and now I think maybe you need to drink one of those fresh fruit mojitos on my behalf. The food looks divine, come back later, if you have time, and tell me what you had. I need some vicarious eating, as the larder is very low and dull here right now. (NT) -- celtgirl, 14:25:59 04/29/09 Wed
        Actually I was going to suggest a mojito instead of a margarita, but thought it might be offensive. Okay, so it's a mojito for cg. Check. What a tough assignment to take on. Not sure if I'll be able to report back later or not. The pain and all, doncha know. (NT) -- E, 14:29:10 04/29/09 Wed
