I am so glad that someone else agrees with me on the Paris thing. Wigs on men? Yuck. Basically the whole culture in France during that time period just reeks of excess and self indulgence and, frankly, BO covered up with smelly oils. No thanks. I'll go with Castle Leoch/Lallybroch Jamie anyday.

Any Jamie will, do, you know? And, as he often says, he is an educated man...a man of many talents...I like all the courtly stuff, because they are together, and something is at stake..call me contrarian... :Dchicacisnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10099460785960698352noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2193939705192575193.post-59100362100202904172010-02-09T21:32:08.594-05:002010-02-09T21:32:08.594-05:00Oh.

I'm sorry, but you come home with hickies and scratches on your thighs... and I'm thinking you've cheated. And I'm no prude. But come ON! The White Lady story made me feel a little better though. But still. And I was so mad when he had a problem with Louie. I mean really. Did you ever see The Getaway with Alec Baldwin and Kim Basinger? (I think it was a remake.) The same type of thing happened - and he got MAD at her for doing it to get him out of prison. Truly unbelievable. Men don't get it.

Personally, it didn't bother me that much--I knew he couldn't blow his cover, and had faith that he wouldn't act on anything. <br /><br />Agree with the icky "high class French" Jamie tho. I'm not a big fan of 18th century bourgeois Paris anyway, so having J/C hanging out there tried my patience quite a little bit.Tracey R.https://www.blogger.com/profile/06775331935448970772noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2193939705192575193.post-70181645107861872112010-02-09T11:21:38.464-05:002010-02-09T11:21:38.464-05:00Yes I wasn't too fond of the "High class ...Yes I wasn't too fond of the "High class french" Jamie myself. And I must say, when Jamie was upset over Claire making "Payment" for getting his butt out of prison, all I could think of was him in that brothel basically blowing the whole thing off. He even admitted to wanting those women! Claire had no interest whatsoever in sex- she "did it for Jamie"!Northernlovehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14237729697055794245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2193939705192575193.post-14905614658088838152009-12-02T01:41:15.971-05:002009-12-02T01:41:15.971-05:00We've all come to the conclusion we like smell...<i>We've all come to the conclusion we like smelly, stable-working Jamie better than hob-nobbing-with-the-Bourgeoisie Jamie... no matter how good he smells.</i><br /><br />I agree.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
