Two difficult chapters (and BTW, you're doing a bang-up job). I can't imagine walking into a room filled with the remains of all those children, so carefully packed away in labelled boxes. Evidence of a sick mind to do that! Yes, I think it was right to give Robin the box of his sister's remains. It would be nice if he could forgive himself for not being there for her, but some things eat away at us to the point that it would be like severing a limb to let it go. I start to feel sorry for Robin but then remind myself of how we were introduced to him in a much earlier chapter and rethink the whole situation. -- Cindy's Cottage

I think shock is the first reaction I would have to finding such horror, it seems to me it would be more than the mind could truly take in without time and space. I do think they made the right choice in bringing wee Jo home to Robin; with so many other children's remains to use in creating a case against the murderers one more or less wouldn't make a difference. Humour, black and otherwise, can save one's sanity in the worst of situations, I think this is why it's so popular/common amongst medical and emergency professionals. I think Pamela is doing her best for Lawrence, especially given their place and time; telling Jamie something is no small thing and is bound to get results. (NT) -- Carla, 19:03:00 09/01/09 Tue
