The Real Chapter 1 notes


Well, as we progress, we_I_will get better at this! I missed actual chapter 1 notes from Mrs Fitz. She re-sent them to me. What you received before is JUST Chapter 2 notes! Please forgive!!

On Claire/Frank

How did they meet?
How long had they been married when they went on their second honeymoon in Scotland?
How did Frank support Claire in her new interest, botany?
See this link for an interesting website:

If only Claire had this kind of technology! Now when a herb or plant is mentioned _you_ can look it up!

What was the superstition warded off by the sacrifice of a black cock?
Point of interest:
BUILDING SACRIFICES
Numerous instances are known of animal and human sacrifices made in the course of the construction of houses, shrines, and other buildings, and in the laying out of villages and towns. Their purpose has been to consecrate the ground by establishing the beneficent presence of the sacred order and by repelling or rendering harmless the demonical powers of the place. In some West African cults, for example, before the central pole of a shrine or a house is installed, an animal is ritually slain, its blood being poured around the foundations and its body being put into the posthole. On the one hand, this sacrifice is made to the earth deities and the supernatural powers of the place—the real owners—so that the human owner may take possession and be ensured against malevolent interferences with the construction of the building and its later occupation and use. On the other hand, the sacrifice is offered to the cult deity to establish its benevolent presence in the building.

Where did Clair pick up JHRC?
AND--we want to know YOUR favorite UN-cuss word😁😝 Ex: bassackwards, or ding dang it!! Dangerous territory, but keep it 'wholesome' πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚

Then there is Frank's job in MI6. A little background on MI6:

Before WW2, MI6 had developed a unit known as section D for carrying out covert / paramilitary operations overseas.
During World War 2, on the orders of Winston Churchill, section D was amalgamated with similar units in other organizations to form the Special Operations Executive (SOE). The SOE caused havoc behind German lines, organizing resistance, gathering intelligence and performing sabotage operations.
