Subject: yes Sallie, which I think makes it all the harder for him
In reply to: Sallie 's message, "I think the depth of Casey's sadness is reflected in his moments of solitude. Whether conversing with a gull or standing alone on a snowy rooftop, he seems to seek time alone to allow his pain an outlet. He cannot turn to Pamela with his burden because while he struggles in this new land, she is blossoming." on 08:54:35 07/28/09 Tue

This was part of my thinking (as I remember it) that he can't really confide these things in Pamela, because now he's living in her world and he doesn't want to ruin that in any way for her, just because he is having a hard time finding his place in it. (NT) --

When at the beginning he just realizes that she is truly in her element I also wondered if he thought she had been better suited for Jamie's world than his? (NT) --

I think Casey often feels that way. At some point in 'Angels' he says to her that she really was raised to marry a man like Jamie, not like himself. Well, here's a brief snippet of that piece- she's been telling him about sailing with the senator from Mass. who later became President and the snippet starts right after that>>> -- celtgirl (), 14:27:44 07/28/09 Tue
- BTW in case anyone is worried about spoilers, I got rid of the one that was in there, before I posted the snippet. (NT) -- celtgirl, 14:36:25 07/28/09 Tue
- What a heartfelt scene, Cindy. There is such depth and poetry to Casey, which is something else I've seen in his moments of solitude. (And yes, this coming from a Jamie girl!) :) (NT) -- Sallie, 15:15:58 07/28/09 Tue
- Sweet. I can certainly picture a young Pamela with the Kennedy clan. (NT) -- Elaine, 15:59:48 07/28/09 Tue
- I think it's inevitable that Casey would feel he'd taken Pamela away from her "proper" place in the world, but we have to remember that she was a dollar a dance girl at a seedy pub when she left America the first time and all her father's wealth was gone. She may have fit into that world on the surface, but without her father's money not many would have accepted her as a wife, IMHO, despite her beauty, charm and grace. There is a lovely poetry to their feelings for each other. (NT) -- Carla, 16:52:12 07/28/09 Tue
  - I agree with you, Carla. Hard not to see Pamela without thinking of that 'dollar a dance' girl that attempted to dance her way into Jamie's bed that night. And besides, in her letter she wrote to Jamie at the end of EU, she told him that she was more like Casey and Pat than he knew. So whatever Casey thinks about taking her from a bette world to which she belongs, I don't think she really feels that way. (NT) -- Tess, 08:16:01 07/29/09 Wed
- Awwww - that's a nice one :-) (NT) -- Mahri, 16:54:17 07/28/09 Tue
- swoon...ahh to have such a love (NT) -- CindyS, 07:45:53 07/29/09 Wed
- sweet pillow talk there. Love that! (NT) -- Lil, 09:25:53 07/29/09 Wed
