The following quote is from Go Tell the Bees That I Am Gone by Diana Gabaldon, chapter 20, “I Bet You Think This Song is About You. . .” Copyright 2021 by Diana Gabaldon, all rights reserved.

“‘He’s—it’s—‘ He shook his head, looking for words. ‘He’s talking to me,’ he repeated doggedly. ‘He kens who I am—who I am,’ he said with emphasis and looked at me, his eyes dark blue. ‘He kens it’s the Scotsman that took his wife from him and he’s talkin’ directly to me. I can feel him, as if he stood behind me, whispering in my ear.’ I flinched, violently, and he blinked, startled.
‘That sounds…unpleasant,’ I said. The tiny hairs prickled along my jaw.
The corner of his mouth turned up. He stopped what he was doing and took my hand, and I felt better.
‘Well, it’s a mite unsettling, Sassenach. I dinna mind it, exactly—I mean, surely to God he has the right to say things to me if he likes. It’s only…why?’”

[> To get the last word? To say I’m not an idiot, I know what happened. To commiserate over loving Claire? 🤣 Jamie thought that! -- Kathy in PA, Sun, August 21 2022, 15:26:19

[> [> Frank can't have known that Bree would bring the book to the past. Or if he somehow did, did he mean to warn Jamie so he'd be forewarned and survive to continue to be able to care for Claire and Bree? -- kgp, Sun, August 21 2022, 19:01:27

[> [> [> That’s what I’m wondering. It certainly adds a lot to the Frank is the tragic hero camp. We do think he knew Bri went back because he trained her for it so maybe he thought she just might go back and forth? He warned her about the funny buggers. It seems like Diana gives us little tidbits into Frank that make me question his motives. But I went from hating him when I first read DIA, to liking and sympathizing with him. -- Kathy in PA, Sun, August 21 2022, 19:42:39
