Dear Met,

Most definitely something to ponder, and like you I too need to do a re-read. I'm also interested to see where (and how for that matter) Jerry's plane ends up going down (through? over?) in all of this. Lol, there is always something new to try and grasp with TT

I'm also interested to see where (and how for that matter) Jerry's plane ends up going down (through? over?) in all of this.

I think Claire might be jumping to conclusions here, you know.  We don't know how far inland his plane came down, or whether he did in fact have a parachute.  Or whether he was anywhere near a TT portal.  It is always a mistake to theorize without data, Watson!

I would prefer NOT to have more TT "coincidences", frankly.  What with the interest in the Beauchamp connection, a possibility of Roger's father also turning up in the 18th century is a bit much.

I am more interested in how Geillis managed to go so far back beyond 202 years, and why Buck came FORWARD in time, apparently without any effort on his part.

Hi lmlyberger, and welcome to the forum! <g> Feel free to look around and jump into any discussion that looks interesting to you. Or start a new one, if no one is talking about something you'd like to discuss.

I see Allene answered your question. <g>  And since it's in chapter 90, I moved your message into the thread (discussion) that deals with that chapter.

If you haven't done so already, please check out our Forum Manual, which contains a lot of useful information for new members. For example, if you want to change the way your name appears in the forum (so people know to address you as something other than "lmlyberger" <g>), you can click on My Stuff, at the top of this page directly under the red "mm" in Community.  (You have to be logged in to the forum to see the My Stuff option.)  First names are fine, of course, or nicknames, whatever you're comfortable with. 

*** PLEASE READ BELOW ***

Here are a few important things that you need to know about Diana Gabaldon's section of the forum:

1) Most people here tend to assume that you have read all of Diana Gabaldon's published books, unless you say otherwise. If you haven't read all seven of the OUTLANDER books (please see note about AN ECHO IN THE BONE, below), or all three of the Lord John books, you will encounter spoilers for those books here. Read at your own risk.

2) If you've come here to discuss Diana's latest novel, AN ECHO IN THE BONE, you are definitely in the right place!  Before you comment on the new book, please take the time to read through the guidelines for ECHO discussions from Sept. 22 - Oct. 31, 2009, and let me know if you have any questions.

3) Diana frequently posts excerpts from her upcoming books and stories, both here and on her blog or web site.  Please keep in mind that not everyone here reads the excerpts or wants to hear about them.  If you want to talk about something that you read in an excerpt from an UNPUBLISHED book or story, please make sure to include the word SPOILER and a few blank lines of "spoiler space" in your message, BEFORE the reference to the excerpt, so that those of us who avoid excerpts can have some advance warning.  Thanks.

More detailed information about what spoilers are can be found here. If you're not sure how to tell whether something is a spoiler or not, please err on the side of caution.

Again, welcome, and if you have any questions about how things work around here, please don't hesitate to ask.

Karen:

Good point, though I assumed that Jem and Mandy could go forward in time because they were being carried and thus "steered".

I was musing about this aloud to my husband (who doesn't read fiction books of _any_ kind.) If that man says "it's only a book" one more time, he will come to serious bodily harm!
