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.

Yes, that too! Although I think Keith observed it firsthand in part one, when Ewen rolled himself up to sleep in his wet plaid? But given how important that is about to become, it's an excellent time for Broster to drop a reminder...

Not in canon, but regshoe wrote a fic where he did! : )
