In fact I was totally w/Claire and her reaction she tells Young Ian: "So he sent you after me because he was too occupied with his wife! Bastard! The gall of him! He thinks he can have his cake and eat it, does he? Bloody arrogant, selfish, overbearing. Why on earth would Jamie carry Laoghaire up to a bedroom? Why not just take her into the study or into the barn, if he wanted to get away from prying ears and eyes? Jamie hoists her up over his shoulder and drags her into the house and up the stairs. Laoghaire shows up and hooks onto his legs, wailing and crying. I had visions of Murtagh dying saving Jamie, but it doesn't add up with this passage.Voyager has been such a good read, but it is a bit of a roller coaster ride for me! There's one scene that's been on my mind and I'm hoping for some clarification.Īfter Claire finds out that Jamie married Laoghaire, she leaves Lallybroch.

I also believe that DG will eventually resolve this big mystery of exactly what happened at Culloden. I'm currently re-kilting Voyager and haven't gotten to that part, but it sure makes me cry. I hadn't thought of that before, Chericola. At least, that's what I understood when I read the passage that I've just quoted. He probably died in battle like any soldier. That implies that Murtagh died before whatever must have happened with BJR and before Jamie's wound to the leg. “It doesna hurt a bit to die.” (Voyager, Chapter 54)

“Dinna be afraid, a bhalaich,” Murtagh had said, using the endearment for a small, beloved boy. And he smiled.” And then the older man’s hand had touched his cheek briefly. He hadn’t been, though when Jamie had fallen to his knees beside his godfather and taken the small body in his arms, Murtagh’s eyes had opened. He’d been struck a dozen times at least, and there was a dreadful wound in his head-I knew he was dead.” “He was sitting against a tussock near the middle of the field-Murtagh. So he had started back across the moor, to join the Highland dead. Chericola wrote:There's more to that previous quote, a few paragraphs later:
