• 42-1) I used to have a recurring dream as a child of being kidnapped by a band of gypsies. I don't think they were abusive, but I was always scared and would wake up sitting in bed and rocking myself. I had the dream for many years. Who knows why? (42-2) I imagine that in keeping track of Pamela they hope to also keep tabs on the possible escape and return of Casey, who is very much of interest to them. I never trusted Robin and have felt that he had the potential to play whatever side damaged Casey and increased his personal gain. (42-4) My DH has a friend who takes us horseback riding and can be a very friendly guy, but he seems shifty to me. He's old school, refuses to do anything that he considers to be woman's work, which isn't great in itself, but he has taken work and pay from two opposing sides for the same job (he's a wellsite scout) which is totally unethical. Don't trust the guy! (NT) -- Denise, 12:02:27 09/26/07 Wed

• 42.1- Oh yes definitely- I used to wake up and swear I could see a hooded figure standing at the end of my bed. Even after it was gone, it would take at least an hour for the sensation to dissipate. It hasn't happened in many years, thank goodness. Shortly after my aunt and uncle got married they were spending their first night in a new house- well new to them anyway- they woke up in the middle of the night to see a woman standing over the bed staring at them. They both saw her and then she walked out of the room and down the hall, at which point my uncle leaped out of bed to follow her but she'd disappeared. My aunt said she was wearing a long dress and her hair was up in a bun. Now neither was given to flights of fantasy, so I always believed this story. (NT) -- celtgirl, 12:42:24 09/26/07 Wed

• 42.4- I think we all do most likely, I can think of a few off the top of my head. They're charming etc, but there's an uneasiness running under any interaction with them. (NT) -- celtgirl, 13:42:20 09/26/07 Wed

• 42.3- OH I KNOW, I KNOW (waving hand wildly, half out of seat)...but I don't know if I should answer. (NT) -- celtgirl, 13:55:33 09/26/07 Wed
  • You could answer inside and that way any who don't want to know don't have to read. Or, you could e-mail anybody who indicates they want to know. OR, you could be a big meanie and keep us in suspense. Is it integral to the plot or some future development? (NT) -- Carla, 14:00:21 09/26/07 Wed
    • It may be yes. I'll post inside in a bit, I have to run to the school here first. (NT) -- celtgirl, 14:04:45 09/26/07 Wed
      • Answer inside, SPOILER-ish in nature though>>>> -- celtgirl, 19:26:26 09/26/07 Wed
        • And what kind of emoticon is that? Someone laughing at me? (NT) -- Denise, 19:33:39 09/26/07 Wed
        • Oh no! I thought it was Robin and I also thought it was Robin watching the house in the trees. Ack!!!! My brain has left my body. (NT) -- Tracy, 19:39:32 09/26/07 Wed
          • Me too.....will have to read it again! (NT) -- JaneH, 10:23:32 09/27/07 Thu
        • You are truly devious woman. Never in a million years would I have gone that route. (NT) -- Carla -- bowing and chanting "we are not worthy", 20:24:43 09/26/07 Wed
      • I do remember that Cindy, that he wasn't the one watching the house,,, but I do not know who it was. Someone working for that Joe guy maybe? You never did say,,,,, yes you left a couple of things unanswered. I imagine we will find out soon enough. (NT) -- bug, 06:32:34 09/27/07 Thu
        • You all aren't going back far enough and that's all I'm saying. ;) (NT) -- celtgirl, 10:35:00 09/27/07 Thu
          • Jaysus how far back? Surely not that evil Reverend from EU? Oh? hmmmm...maybe aye. (NT) -- Marilyn, 10:43:19 09/27/07 Thu

• 41-1) Juxtaposing the beauty and stillness of the forest with the horrors of the conflict? It wasn't as if the air was rent with the sounds of gunfire to destroy the serenity of the scene, it was more suble than that. The hushed silence was still there, but the body of the dead woman destroyed the peaceful feeling either one might have felt, if only for a short time. (NT) -- Denise, 15:42:36 09/26/07 Wed

• I remember being afraid of a deep, grough(sp?) voice and seeing a dark shadow figure at the top of my ceiling and door. I don't remember ever having the same vision once we moved from that house when I was 8. I wasn't sure of motives at all when I first read and I can't for the life of me think of anything intelligent to to propose now. I'll have to think on this harder. I have no idea who was in Pamela's room. I'm afraid of who it could be but just not sure. Is it really obvious and I'm the twerp who doesn't get it? If I don't trust someone, then I don't like the person and therefore don't include that person in my life. (NT) -- Tracy, 19:21:05 09/26/07 Wed
  • Why the hell did I just spell gruff 'grough'???? What is wrong with me tonight??? (NT) -- Tracy, 19:22:15 09/26/07 Wed
    • Well gruff does rhyme with rough so go figure! The English language is such a gem, and teaching it to kids who look at you like you've acquired three eyes is always fun! How are you doing with that important decision? Maybe that's impairing your usual stellar spelling skills, Trac? (NT) -- Denise, 19:31:17 09/26/07 Wed
      • LOL, that's the reason Denise! I have the interview on Monday so I'm nervous but looking forward to it. I have had some hesitation about leaving the college but this morning I received and e-mail with my schedule for the winter and my hours got knocked down to 9 per week. I think any doubts or hesitation I had is now gone!! A wise prof told me not long ago that many people leave bosses, not jobs. How true. (NT) -- Tracy, 19:37:39 09/26/07 Wed
        • I don't know about you, but I'm not much of a decision-maker. This seems a no-brainer though, which is sometimes a blessing. Best of luck, Tracy! (NT) -- Denise, 07:31:14 09/27/07 Thu

• 42-1) Yes, a dream that's been recurring since 1986 >>> -- Elaine, 20:23:32 09/26/07 Wed
  • I'm just happy that the good guys won! And I'm sorry for the hell you went through Elaine. (NT) -- JaneH, 14:49:28 09/28/07 Fri

• Ch41-- Life is taken away when we least expect it. Young, old, no age limits or boundaries. Death is a reality. That is the message I got from it. Especially in such hard times as these in this book. Chapter 42-- I used to dream the devil was chasing me around and around my house, and my arms were folded over my chest, as a person in a casket and I was lying on my back. He was at my feet, almost touching me, but never quite. Then after I was saved and baptised, I never dreamed it again, Ever. Robin, oh, I figure Robin always had an alternative plan, to help his cause, no matter what it was. No, I avoid people like him. (NT) -- bug, 06:29:07 09/27/07 Thu
  • I am leaving today for Williamsburg, to the Scottish Festival up there, to see Albannach. Have happy discussions while I am gone. Or at least be happy discussing the not so happy things if that is the case. :-) (NT) -- bug, 06:34:31 09/27/07 Thu
    • Well now bug, I'll be there myself along with Betsy :-) I'm trying to remember if I've ever seen a pic of you that I might recognize you in the Albannach crowd. Safe travels! (NT) -- Marilyn, 07:53:49 09/27/07 Thu

• I had all my pieces picked out for the reading tonight and now they all seem flat and insipid. I hate that I do this at the last minute. Someone hit me over the head, okay? (NT) -- celtgirl, 08:26:00 09/27/07 Thu
  • Which ones did you pick? From Mermaid or Angels? I'm not hitting you over the head...that's where Casey is and I ain't risking the boy ;) (NT) -- Marilyn, 08:34:16 09/27/07 Thu
    • Page 64-66 in EU- and then the bit in 'Mermaid' with Nuala telling the story of her husband and sons. Then the short story about the Famine. And if there's still time after that I'll read a bit from 'Angels'. (NT) -- celtgirl, 08:43:32 09/27/07 Thu
      • I think both of those are great Cindy..why aren't you sure about them? I do have a question though, what about my Casey? ;-) (NT) -- Marilyn, 08:54:42 09/27/07 Thu
        • Your Casey? Tsk, tsk, tsk. (NT) -- Elaine, 10:09:40 09/27/07 Thu
          • Hehe, I was waiting for someone to catch that ;-) (NT) -- Marilyn, 10:40:39 09/27/07 Thu
