That's right...it's spelled laudanum...and what did they use laudanum for?
to sleep..wasn't it a sleeping potion?
I think you're thinking of ether Catherine. *Hint* What do we use morphine for today?
What was the name of the famous prison Randell threatened to send Claire to?
the only one I can think of is Wentworth..but that's where they sent Jamie isn't it?
No sorry Catherine and Carol. Yes Wentworth is where Jamie was.
No not Adsmuir(sp). Hint- it begins with T
I'm at a loss...can only think of those two :(I'm sure I'll kick myself!!
We will leave it for a little while incase someone wants to try the answer. But then I'll give you the answer if you want.
I'm seriously going to have to reread these!!! :)
What is the name of the bad tempered horse that Jamie has on the Ridge?
I think I know that one, but I'll wait a while and give someone else a turn,
Ok Carol guess I waited long enough. Was it Gideon? He was a fiesty wee beast!
Where is everyone? Are you girls all out Christmas shopping?
They must be Sue! Tackled a bit myself. Got a little overwhelmed so I came home. lol I would have taken a guess but I had no idea! ;D
Staying on the same subject, Jamie had a fiesty horse in Scotland. What was his name?
It was Donas! I loved that horse, lol.
Correct Wendy. Wasn't it sad when Jamie cried because he thought they had eaten him. And so relieved when he heard he went with the Bonny Prince!
LOL, I did think that was sad. Though I hated that the Charles got to keep that magnificint animal!In the same vein, what is the name of the Mule on the ridge?
Clarence!!!
I realize it's Jen's turn, but she must be busy with the season so I'll give a question just to keep the game going, but Jen's turn when she comes back to visit. What did Claire tell Jamie after they come out of the Hot Springs at the Abbey while sitting on the landing of the stairs with the view of a "Christmas Moon" shining in the window?
1/2 right Carol. Not pregnant with Brianna.
That she has a gift/present for him...which ofcourse means she was pregnant...only at that time she was pregnant with Faith.
When Claire decided to stay with jamie in Outlander what did she tell him it was a toss up between (something that's in the 20th century but not in the 18th century) and staying with Jamie?
Oh my gosh, sorry guys! I totally forgot it was my turn for a question! I've been slammed at work and after work stuff getting ready for the holidays! Here goes my question:
What is the significance of Joe Abernathy's last name in the Outlander canon? Also, what is the significance of Joe's son, Lenny, assuming the name Ishmael?
well..Joe's son took the name Ishamel back from his heritage...I think...he felt an outcast...I think Joe Abernathy is related to Geillis...through marriage...somewhere...when she was living in the Caribbean? I think...I hope!
So if Joe is related somehow to Geillis than he is related to Roger too...hmmmm
I just want to know if I'm anywhere in the neighbourhood of correct!lol
Catherine, your answer makes sense to me..lol
I don't think that it's ever made clear whether Geillis was related to Joe or not. But she was married to a man named Abernathy, and slaves in those days took the last name of their owners. Doesn't Claire meet a slave (on the plantation) who reminds her of Joe?
yeah I always wondered why Geillis had the last name of Abernathy and there was a man that reminded Claire of Joe. So it would not surprise me if Joe is related to Geillis.
didn't the slave say.."they be callin' me Ishmael..."?
Joe wouldn't have to be related to Geillis if the slaves took their owners names. He was just a off spring of one of the slaves on the plantation. But maybe Claire saving Ishmel is the reason Joe is here in the first place. Just a thought.
