81.2) It's a real tightrope. Mostly I see disadvantages to maintaining a friendship with David. Surely the IRA and other factions would be opposed to it; we all know how they'd tackle this problem. If David's superiors suddenly deem it undesirable, both men are likely doomed. Still, to have a close relationship with someone from the other side ~ someone who actually seems to understand both sides of the conflict ~ might prove to be very valuable, totally aside from David's loyalty to Pat (even if he would wish the relationship to be deeper than that). The web is becoming decidedly more complex as we learn that David and Jamie have a socio-political connection. -- Cindy's Cottage

80-2) The people of Ireland must pay for the actions of the few. And Pat is paying for his actions too. As the old adage goes - when you play with fire, expect to get burnt. (80-3) It doesn't surprise me that Pamela has not gone to Jamie with her problems regarding Casey. She knows that she has relied on him heavily in the past, and it has not been fair to Jamie. She know that he loves her but cannot express it fully and this intimate contact is painful. It's not fair to herself either to expect Jamie to clean up her messes and solve her problems. She's strong enough to deal with it, and so she does. (80-4) Yes, I have a few ghosts that weigh heavily on my mind at times, but I'm not talking. (NT) -- Denise, 11:43:57 10/30/07 Tue
