Or at this point. :(<br /><br />So far, Ietrin hasn't paid Hollie much attention. He's pleased that he has a son, but he's not particularly interested in spending time with him. Whatever Hollie grows up to feel about her father, I'd be surprised if she turned out to be more loyal to him than to her mother.<br /><br />If Ietrin ever finds out, in life or in death, that will no doubt be part of his reaction. He doesn't think much of Jeda at all, and her cleverness and resourcefulness are not exceptions there. :SVanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09325395792013382406noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5454462454354598319.post-44497871711565212872014-03-25T20:54:31.854-07:002014-03-25T20:54:31.854-07:00Poor Jeda. If she hadn't passed Hollie off as ...Poor Jeda. If she hadn't passed Hollie off as a boy, Ietrin wouldn't let her do anything but try to conceive the next one. Is Ietrin spending any time with Hollie at all? I'm curious whether she is going to grow up with any better an opinion of her father than her sisters must have. She may be quite willing to stick it to him if he's this disinterested forever. <br /><br />If Ietrin goes to Hell, I hope his punishment is living with the knowledge that Jeda pulled off the Hollie scheme. He's treated her like garbage for so long that it seems impossible he thinks Jeda is clever enough to do anything of the sort.

There's barely enough attraction there for Ietrin to get a rise, and even less for Jeda. Catching him off-guard might have worked better, and she'll have to go that route if she gets pregnant by someone else and tries to pass it off as his, but it certainly wouldn't have occurred to her as a first step.<br /><br />Yeah, I don't know what's up with Sparron there...Vanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09325395792013382406noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5454462454354598319.post-16750314857929288822014-03-22T16:51:30.190-07:002014-03-22T16:51:30.190-07:00Sparron is doing something weird with his face.

But I think Jeda's approach was all wrong here. She went to him in the way that he would have gone to her. Like it is some sort of negotiation that needs to be discussed. Instead, she should have tried to seduce him. I don't think it would have been that hard. She just would have had to get over her timidity. And her revulsion. And the alcohol should be for her, not him.Penelopehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16849958697187040289noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5454462454354598319.post-16751974094588222992014-03-22T11:57:21.653-07:002014-03-22T11:57:21.653-07:00I think Jeda's plan is something along the lin...I think Jeda's plan is something along the lines of this:<br /><br />1) Have a son, hopefully before Hollie hits puberty.<br /><br />2) Inform Hollie exactly what's up and why when she's old enough to get it. Have Hollie announce to Ietrin an intention to become a cloistered monk and leave immediately.<br /><br />3) Spirit Hollie away somewhere (perhaps to Jeda's sister's place in Dovia), then otherwise let her live life as she pleases.<br /><br />4) Wait for Ietrin to die.<br /><br />Hollie's still young, so Jeda does have time to get pregnant/get Ietrin into bed regardless of whether the baby is his or not. That doesn't make the situation any less tense and stressful for Jeda. And it's not as if Ietrin's swimmers have magically improved since Hollie was conceived...Vanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09325395792013382406noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5454462454354598319.post-76993105897466191022014-03-22T08:44:12.065-07:002014-03-22T08:44:12.065-07:00Ick.

I am curious how she intended to 'switch' Hollie's sex without Ietrin becoming angry. Maybe Jeda will have to lie and start worrying that 'Holden' is not in fact healthy, so Ietrin might take her word on having another baby. Otherwise, if Jeda did find another man to substitute her husband it would be hard to explain with Ietrin being so adamant on impregnating her again.<br />Hmm, alcohol could be the easiest way to get him into her bed though, and then if she still wasn't pregnant she could start the whole 'Holden isn't well' trick. <br />Though, I also like the idea of Ietrin discovering the truth on his deathbed, and being too ill to dispute Hollie's inheritance :PEkhohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09298048746460690752noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5454462454354598319.post-71742751616291177382014-03-21T20:52:42.070-07:002014-03-21T20:52:42.070-07:00Next post is the last of 1184.Next post is the last of 1184.Vanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09325395792013382406noreply@blogger.com
