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

I do think things are getting good in this week's chapters... :D

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

Hee, glad you enjoyed it! This is really the last fun swashbuckling we get, before things turn more serious, so I feel like Broster is making the most of it.

But there's still an interesting comparison and contrast between Alison and Lachlan, and their respective care for and devotion to Ewen, I think.

Yes, they're both devoted to Ewen, but otherwise quite different, I think! Alison is more independent-minded, and Lachlan more a subordinate...but one who sometimes serves in the way that he wants, not the way Ewen wants.

Hmm, I'm not sure what to do with your observation about the rings, either.
