Summary:
We begin in 1743 Scotland. Gypsies have kidnapped Claire Elizabeth Beauchamp and her uncle Lambert Beauchamp. She is forced to wear trews and perform bawdy songs in villages to gain her uncle’s freedom.
Jamie has just returned from France. He and Murtagh are on their way to Lallybroch after receiving a pardon. They stopped in a village to eat at a pub when Jamie heard a unique voice ringing true and clear. He walks to the area where everyone is clapping and yelling for the Sassenach.
I don’t know if anyone else has had the same thought, but:
Brianna, Roger and their family are Brian and Ellen family 2.0.
Roger has been compared to Black Brian often over the past few books, they are both kind, tall and dark-haired.
People always comment on how much Brianna looks like Ellen. Hell, Brian mistakes her for Ellen when he accidentally sees her at 1739 Lallybroch. Plus she is a gifted artist like Ellen as well.
Jem has inherited the MacKenzie red hair and features. Jamie’s brother Willie was also a redhead.
Mandy, much like Jenny, is small and dark-haired, having taken after her father in looks.
It’s unclear what Davy will look like, but it stands to reason that he will be a redhead and inherit the MacKenzie features. Also, Davy was compared to Jamie, as Mandy said that they both look like ‘water’ in her mind. Perhaps Davy will not be a time traveller but will be able to travel through dreams like Jamie?
And in even more casting news today the "Outlander" prequel "Blood of my Blood" has casted 4 more roles. First is Brian McCardie as Issac Grant. Then Jhon Lumsden as his son Malcolm Grant, who is also a suitor of Jamie's mom Ellen's. Then Sara Vickers, who I loved on "Endeavour", has been cast as Brian's mother and Jamie's paternal grandmother Davina Porter, who is named after the "Outlander" book series' actual narrator. Finally, Peter Mullan from many shows/movies is Red Jacob MacKenzie, Jamie's maternal grandfather and the head of Clan MacKenzie.
Pentagram Peter Pan has The Mummy (1932 and 1999) apparel available until Monday, May 6. The line includes T-shirts ($27) and long sleeves ($34). They’ll ship in 4-8 weeks.
'Swingeing London': Art, Drugs and Wormwood Scrubs
Harriet Vyner gives a snapshot of 1967: the age of Sergeant Pepper, peace protests and birth control. But beneath the excitement lay a conflict between a new youth culture and the old establishment. Richard Hamilton's Swingeing London 67 depicts an iconic moment in the backlash against popular culture and its figureheads. In the work's many versions, the art dealer Robert Fraser is shown handcuffed in the back of a police car next to the Rolling Stones' frontman, Mick Jagger. Vyner tells the story of how a star-studded, drug-fueled party sent an art-world VIP to Wormwood Scrubs prison and asks what else Hamilton's depiction of this incident has to say about the atmosphere of the times.
This film is available on the HENI site and on YouTube.
It is part of Brian Clarke's curated series Cruising Culture.
