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

[regshoe]

I'm afraid real life is being stressful at the moment and I'm feeling a bit frazzled, so no comment from me today—but here's the post, so others can start on the discussion. :)

Next week we'll read chapter 7, the final chapter of Part IV.

Yes, those two uses of the word "attract" are very gratifying to the reader!

Sir Everard Faulkner is a real person, but the reason you can't find him is because Broster misspelled his name--it's supposed to be Fawkener. Or maybe her version is a variation that also exists, I don't know.

No one has yet written fic where Guthrie gets his comeuppance! The field is wide open. : D

Yeah, lots of variations on Faulkner/Fawkner/Falconer etc. Fun fact, the Scottish Falconers are a sept of...Clan Keith.

Ha! Everything is tied together... : )

I am flatly amazed that the field is still wide open on that. The whole time Keith was gonna find Guthrie and duel the everlasting shit out of him, I was chanting FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT under my breath.

We're possibly past the point where problems would be solved by murdering the shit out of Guthrie? But nevertheless, I propose this solution: murder the shit out of Guthrie.
