We'll be reading Chapters 15 through 21 this week.
Pretty tame chapters this week, so there aren't too many questions.
Chapter Eight:
1. What did you think of Claire's finding out about Mary Hawkins (whose fate she too knows)? How do you think this will play out?
2. At this point, does it seem possible for Claire and Jamie to change the future?
3. First impressions of Master Raymond?
Chapter Nine:
1. What did you think of Claire’s red dress? Do you think Jamie overreacted?
2. Impressions of Jamie and Claire among the excess of Versailles?
Chapter Ten:
1. Why do you think Claire dreamt of Frank teaching a history lesson about her and Jamie?
Part Two -- Dragonfly in Amber
The Pretenders Chapters 11-17
Chapter 11 - Useful Occupations
1. What did you think of the king's singing-master (Herr Johannes Gerstmann)?
2. First impressions of Louise de la Tour de Rohan (and her house and party)?
3. What did you think of Jamie's first duel? Do you think this might have some significance to the story?
"The most important thing I've learned about women, Sassenach, is which one to choose." - Jamie to Claire
4. How did you feel about Claire's decision to work at L'Hopital des Anges?
5. Claire and Jamie begin debating baby names. What do you think would have been a good baby name?
6. What did you think of Jamie's reaction to Claire's hair removal efforts?
Chapter 12 - L'Hopital des Anges
1. First impressions of Mother Hildegarde and the hospital?
2. First impressions of young Fergus?
3. What did you think of Jamie and the sausage-whacking incident? Who do you think was after him and why?
Chapter 13 - Deceptions
1. Do you think that Claire could have gone through with helping Louise abort her baby?
Chapter 14 - Meditations on the Flesh
