Flight of the Heron read-along: Part I chapters 3-4

I have just finished reading a Mary Renault novel and feel, predictably, absolutely awful about it. Time to distract myself with some Jacobites!

Next week we'll finish Part I with chapters 5 and 6.

Oh, you finished it already! Well, I hope you'll stick with the readalong anyway, and give us your impressions...

Huh, that's an intriguing observation about High Bridge.

I blew through it last weekend in tandem with a friend; she and I were sending each other quotes all weekend. But yes, I do intend to continue with the readalong; I look forward to a more leisurely read-through, and look forward to seeing all the things Broster set up along the way that I didn't notice on the first pass. I might be late joining in on this week's installment because I started at the beginning again last night, but I trust I'll catch up again shortly.
