And I didn't even think of the Jane Parker connection. You are brilliant!<br /><br /><br />Just to let you know, I'll probably be posting this weeks update either really late tonight or early tomorrow. Sorry about that. I've been so busy with work and kid stuff this week, my reading is suffering for it.Michelle Millerhttp://thetruebookaddict.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3223856338565996197.post-42360828732480642852013-09-19T17:37:48.344-04:002013-09-19T17:37:48.344-04:00I was really spooked reading about the seance with...I was really spooked reading about the seance with Madame Alenushka! She was a fake medium, but Anne's spirit was definately real! And telling off Daphne for choosing to marry Oliver.. I hope the 2 of them won't share the same end... Oliver is a definate villain for sure, I hate it that Daphne is married to him and under such pressure to get pregnant with a son. This is not going to happen and she'll be doomed.<br /><br /><br /><br />About Amos, I am sure his Tudor soul-mate is Thomas Wyatt, the poet. He was an artist, too, and Anne Boleyn was his inspiration for several poems (he called her 'the brunette'), And as Daphne is Amos' muse, I think that's the connection!<br /><br /><br />I forgot to mension Daphne's sister in law... She must "be" Jane Parker Boleyn and I wonder if she'll help Oliver bring Daphne down, as Jane is said to have done to Anne Boleyn (although there are doubts about it and not sufficient evidence). Mopsy is un-likeable, she is soo jealous of her husband's sister and seems to be quite a fool.<br /><br /><br />Looking forward to week 3's post!Elizanoreply@blogger.com
