I wasn't bothered by the women's request. Just because one is married to an idiot does't make an idiot yourself. In those times, women were not included in any decision the cabbage-headed men made. Mothers are fiercely protective of there children, and I'm not surprised that they advocated for their families.For me, they put their pride away for the sake of their wee ones. Leaving them homeless was pretty much a death sentence. I had to chuckle at the unspoken ripple of humor that went through the women when Jamie asked the ladies how they could assure their husbands would "behave." -- Ladies of Lallybroch Social Board

In reply to: kgp 's message, "Oh,no!! We do love our pets but sometimes that is definitely put to the test. Mine knocked over the kitty fountain during a disagreement and splattered everything in the kitchen. Nothing like what your darlings did but woke the house none the less. I was surprised and rather indignant that Jamie let these families stay. Also appalled at the presumption of these ladies." on Thu, February 22 2024, 6:33:02
