I think Pamela did what was right for her, her sanity and her future with Casey. Jamie just seemed to be the natural choice to go through this with Pamela. I wonder if she didn't want Casey involved because he would feel the need to seek revenge on a murderous level that wouldn't be able to do it as "underground" as Jamie could and I wonder if she wanted to prevent Casey from having blood on his hands. I think it would affect Casey and Jamie differently. Naming the fetus - why not? It is a being and regardless of how it was created and perhaps it is part of the mourning and of saying goodbye and seeking some closure for her. I'm not sure I remember this correctly, but didn't Maude refer to a real person? I don't have the book in front of me. -- Cindy's Cottage

Yes, I believe Maud Gonne was one of W. B. Yeats' lovers for a time. (NT) -- Elaine, 15:26:10 07/14/09 Tue
- It was an unrequited love, actually- he loved her for most of his life, she considered him a very good friend with whom she exchanged countless letters. Yeats wrote some bitter poetry about her, which, ironically, was very beautiful as well. (NT) -- celtgirl, 16:11:29 07/14/09 Tue
  - Oh, I tell a lie. :) I thought I'd better double check, and on Wikipedia it says their relationship was consummated once, and that after that she told him that she prayed all earthly desire would be removed from his love for her. This was after years as friends though, and her refusing his proposals on three separate occasions. It must have been quite the relationship. (NT) -- celtgirl, 16:19:30 07/14/09 Tue
    - Wow, that statement couldn't have done much for his ego. (NT) -- Carla, 19:37:28 07/14/09 Tue
- You know, while I was singing in the car on the way home, all of a sudden Maud Gonne popped into my head. Thanks E. (NT) -- Tracy, 17:20:22 07/14/09 Tue
