Flight of the Heron read-along: Part III chapters 1-2

[regshoe]

Charlie chose the place himsel', the graveyard of Culloden...

Well, it looks like Keith's prophecies about the fate of the Jacobites, at least, weren't too inaccurate...

Next week we'll read chapters 3 and 4 of part III.

would Ewen be open to persuasion? Probably not from Lachlan, but if Lachlan went to, say, Lochiel...

Aaargh, that is a good idea! I suppose Lochiel wouldn't necessarily agree with Lachlan entirely (I'm sure he'd be less dramatic about it), but he might have his own views on things—and that could be a really good way to bring in the contrast between Ewen's established network of loyalties, as represented by Lochiel, and Keith as an element not fitting into that, as luzula pointed out above. Hmmm...

I'm sure Lochiel takes Lachlan's furious account with several grains of salt, but nonetheless he figures he had better have a long serious chat with Ewen to figure out exactly what IS going on... and is perhaps dismayed to discover just how far Ewen has gotten entangled with this English officer. And Ewen of course is DEEPLY distressed by Lochiel's dismay.

I hope someone writes this! : D I have enough writing projects already...
