Flight of the Heron read-along: Part I chapters 5-6

[regshoe]

What is right and what is wrang, a short sword and a lang, a weak arm and a strang for to draw...

Welcome back to the read-along! This week's chapters are getting a bit more serious, historically and for our characters...

Next week we'll read the first two chapters of Part II.

I did "read" that book about Gaelic and its grammar, where "read" = skim and not retain much actual detail. Otherwise I've absorbed a bit from garonne and solo, when they have helped me translate stuff.

Ha, that must be weird with the 20th century book!

Heh, yes—it's England, Their England by A. G. Macdonell, which I found in the Yuletide tagset and went 'ooh!' at the character name. It's a comedy, and there are in fact some jokes about Clan Cameron and the Jacobites, which I appreciated :D
