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

[regshoe]

But till my last moments my words are the same: there'll never be peace until Jamie comes hame...

The penultimate week of the read-along, and in these chapters we are still very Jacobite.

Next week we will, sadly, read Part V Chapter 5 and the Epilogue.

It reminds me of some of the Significant References in the Raffles books, my other main fandom—where the fandom have made the point that one or two neat-looking things could be a coincidence, but so many have really got to mean something.
