Ten pounds each to all of the grandchildren, by name. It made him happy, seeing the whole list. Jem, Mandy, Davy, Germain, Joanie, Félicité—he made a small cross on the paper for Henri-Christian, and felt his throat grow tight—and the new wee boys, Alexandre and Charles-Claire. And any further issue of…any of my children. That was an odd feeling, to think not only that Brianna might bear more bairns but also Marsali—her sister Joan, if she married (damn, he’d forgot to put Joanie with his other children; more scratching out…)—or William’s wife, whoever she might be.
From only Fergus, even though Jenny and Ian cared for him, to Marsali and Joanie, to leaving William unclaimed, to FINALLY learning of and then seeing Bree, to this absolute clan!🥺🥰 Plus Ian's family who haven't yet been addressed.
