What a marathon read that was. We'll be reading Chps 26-38 this week. That's Parts 3 and 4.
150 pages of rain, mud, blood, torn and muddy clothing and diaper changing. But there were some nuggets contained in all that muck and mire.
Part One
In Medias Res
Chapters 1-17
1. Why do you think Claire felt Frank’s presence?
2. Do you think the fact that Roger is a Protestant will have any bearing on future plots?
3. Do you think anyone will come forward with information about the Hillsborough Riots?
4. What do you think will be the result of England recalling all the regiments?
5. Why was Jamie trying very hard to avoid Archie Hayes?
6. What did you think of the incident with the thief-taker, Boble? Any foreseeable consequences?
7. What did you think of Mr. Maclennon's story?
8. Do you think Bree has another reason, besides fear of childbirth, for not wanting more children?
9. When Duncan disclosed that he was also a protestant why was that a problem for his marriage? Do you think he should have told Jocasta?
10. Why did Roger want Bree to have his ring?
11. Mr. Goodwin recounts his story of Hillsborough; did it make you think there were two sides to this story?
12. What did you think of the custom of weaving the shrouds the day after the wedding? Does this make Bree’s fears seem more realistic?

17. What was your first impression of the Bugs?
18. The Bugs brought news of Hamish. Do you think Jamie will try to find him?
19. Do you think Jamie is looking for Bonnet to kill him, or is it as he tells Claire; to keep an eye on him?
20. What do you think of Jocasta’s new plan to leave her estate to Jemmy? Does dhe have any reason to believe that Roger would harm Jemmy to gain possession of River Run.

Part Two
The Chieftan’s Call
Chps 18-25
1. What did you think of Roger’s shooting lesson?
