And we know enough about Randall to know he shouldn't be around unaccompanied little boys. Seems to me we're even.īut it sure seemed that Jamie more than likely found Randall in a compromising position with Fergus, or at least found Fergus running for his life from the dastardly man.Īfter all, Fergus was sniffing around a room with that damn red coat. Remember you said I owe you a life because you saved mine? Well, I saved yours as well at least as often. Although, he did earlier make a point about believing that wasn't a promise he needed to make in the first place. Claire was probably angry with Jamie, too, believing he just went back on his word to her for some unknown reason. Unfortunately, if anything happens to her (and it has), she can't really help herself out. Claire knows her own expertise is often better than full blown physicians of the era. The time she is in is difficult, medically speaking.

She helped Jamie's sister deliver a breech baby, and if she hadn't been there, both lives would probably have been lost. Why am I being so hard on Claire when Jamie isn't that hard on her? I seem to have something against Claire, and I'm wondering if it's in the portrayal on the series, because I never remember feeling like this from reading the books.Ĭan you book readers help a girl out? Does Claire come out as Frank-ish in the books? Which is weird, because I like Frank, but I don't care if he has a life if it means the baby dies.Īnd what's more, she's already been witness to how difficult things can be with childbirth in the 1740s. In my eyes, she just put Frank before the life of her child. From what I can tell, she's thinking of Frank's life independent of the rest of that (whereas a weirdo like me would be thinking quantum physics). I hate to blame her for that possibility, but wasn't the bleeding a close enough call for her? At what point does her unborn child become more important than the life of Frank in the future?Ĭlaire hasn't been thinking in terms of the timeline of events, and the idea if Frank isn't born she won't be in Ireland and so on and so forth. In her quest to just stop the one event from occurring, Claire didn't take into account the many other possibilities that are between that family tree and Frank's birth.Īnd she is probably going to lose her child as a result.
