I have the whole Outlander series on unabridged talking books (takes about 6 months of commuting to get through all of it), and there's always something new that comes through.<br /><br />BarbaraAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7379581147262228210.post-41308943095098610462010-09-30T13:55:28.486-04:002010-09-30T13:55:28.486-04:00Mariam - yes, I loved that scene!

This has been a running joke on Compuserve for several years -- the question being, "What happened to the 20th century shoes Claire was wearing when she came through the stones?"<br /><br />The answer is found in THE EXILE, in chapter 9. Look at the shoes Claire is wearing in chapter 1 when she first comes through the stones. Then look at chapter 9 again, paying close attention to the female characters' feet.<br /><br />That's all I'm going to say, without giving it away. But I was VERY surprised! :-)<br /><br />The nameless girl in France is mentioned by Jamie in ECHO, chapter 94, "Paths of Death", p. 774 in the hardcover. He's talking about the girl in the tavern in chapter 1 of THE EXILE.<br /><br />Um, what other 36 pages??<br /><br />KarenKaren Henryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07635855088490793965noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7379581147262228210.post-64479839115744327772010-09-30T12:32:20.736-04:002010-09-30T12:32:20.736-04:00You're mostly right, Karen.
Dumb ol' me,...You're mostly right, Karen. <br /><br />Dumb ol' me, I still don't know what happened to Claire's shoon and don't even remember they were missing. (Same with the "girl in France".)<br /><br />But what about the other 36 pages?<br /><br />Your fan,<br /><br />B SchumacherAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7379581147262228210.post-86825963835608266132010-09-30T11:59:46.045-04:002010-09-30T11:59:46.045-04:00I couldn't add to your excellent list.
