A possible connection from Outlander to The Space Between?

[Mrsbooks]

I hadn't picked up on this until today while I was browsing through Outlander. Maybe this means absolutely nothing and is just a coincidence but in Outlander Claire comes across a book written by the Comte St. Germain in Geilie Duncan's possession. Actually it's the Grimoire she finds on her book shelf.

They're both time travelers. Do you think there could be any connection between Germain and Geilie or just a coincidence?

Was he a time traveler? I don't remember that.

Oh wait, was that from the Space Between?

In "The Space Between" we find out more about the Comte St. Germaine, time travel, etc. I just reread the bit in Outlander where Claire picks up the book - the Grimoire of the Comte St. Germaine - in Geillis room - and what struck me, is that she never makes the connection later on when she has some interaction with him in Dragonfly. At least, not to my recollection. I am rereading that book now, but my nook ran out of juice just at the 'juicy part' that concerns the Comte!

If you haven't read The Space Between you may not want to read this lol. I do believe he's also the guy who in DFA (view spoiler)[ who was with Claire and Raymond when the King was using Claire to decide who was using black magic or whatever it was. (hide spoiler)]

I don't know. I probably wouldn't have made the connection either. A title of a book would go right in one ear and straight out the other.

I do wonder if there is a connection between him and Geillie beyond her finding his Grimoire somewhere. Maybe there is time travel information in it? Or maybe at some point they meet?

Yeah, and he mentions an association with La Dammed Blanche (which people thought was Claire but was really Geillis) in France. There is another connection, but I can't remember it right now.

The Melissande that the Comte mentions in The Space Between is Geillis.

That's the name she used when she was in Paris. This would be after Dougal helped her escape being burned as a witch

The reason Claire was call La Dame Blanche was because (view spoiler)[ Jamie called her that. He made that up in the brothel when Prince Charlie and his friends were trying to get him to participate in the sex. He told them his wife was a famous witch and if he did she's get back at him. After which they left him alone. That story took root as being true, and when the men tried to rape Claire they realized who she was and related that back to the La Dame Blanche story that Jamie had told. (hide spoiler)] But I do not remember anyone calling Geillis La Dame Blanche. Can you tell me where you saw that?
