It is, evidently, late in the afternoon and Jenny is sitting by a window as she writes—a window where rose bushes grow outside at Lallybroch, roses once planted by Jenny’s mother. And as the afternoon passes, the sun sends SHADOWS of those roses outside the window over Jenny’s paper as she writes: (at least that is my interpretation of this excerpt from TFC ):<br />————<br /> “I have been writing letters all the morning, debating with myself whether to finish this one, or to put it into the fire instead. But now the accounts are done, I have written to everyone I can think of, and the clouds have gone away, so the sun shines through the window by my desk, and the shadows of Mother’s roses are falling over me.”Sosheehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00885197279328259289noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7379581147262228210.post-35695024557782668112019-04-29T23:25:46.881-04:002019-04-29T23:25:46.881-04:00Thanks for the great article.

However I am planning to go to the reenactment of the Battle of Alamance. Have you been? Any advice or suggestions? Also there's another issue I wanted to ask you about, as an Outlander books expect. I recently discovered that my edition (and many others according to the response on OL Universe) of TFC is missing a paragraph in Ch. 99...It's the one where the roses fall out of Jenny's letter. Is this old news? Is it something the publishers are already aware of? I posted to Diana about it on FB and Twitter but no response. I hate to bother her anyway.<br /><br />And do we have to be concerned about other missing moments. This was a sweet detail!<br />Cheers,<br />Nancy Fitzpatrick<br /><br />PS If you reply, please reply to nancytakesahike@yahoo.com.

I may not be at the Litforum much anymore, but Diana has been instrumental in my own writing as well as being kind and generous--and not to mention all the hours of wonderful rereading (and rereading) she's given us. The pictures are great. Elise Skidmorehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09754918805473339797noreply@blogger.com
