>>>...In "New Beginnings", 2 JUL:<br />>>><br />The three men had gone into the wilderness to live with Little Wolf's people. Jacques and Alain had both taken wives and both men had fathered children. Jacques and his woman, Little Raven, had one son and one daughter who still survived. Alain and his woman, Strong Willow, had only a single son, he was known as Pierre to the French and Little Badger to the Abenaki.<br />>>><br /><br />In this installment, 26 AUG:<br />>>><br />Alain Gaudry was alone for once. His brother Jacques had stayed behind in their village to await the birth of his first child. His wife, a Wyandot woman who had been baptized Marie-Jeanne, but who normally answered to White Fawn, was very pregnant. Though she was a very healthy woman in her late teens, Jacques worried.<br /><br />Since the death of their Abenaki brother, Little Wolf, Jacques had become more of a settler than an adventurer. Now Alain was the adventurous one. Of course, he already had children, a boy and a girl from his wife Little Raven, a sister of White Fawn.<br />>><br /><br />1. Who is married to Little Raven? Before it was Jacques; but now Jacques is married to White Fawn?<br />2. What happened to Strong Willow? <br />3. Who has two children? Before it was Jacques and Little Raven; now it seems to be Alain and Little Raven (unless we're torturing pronouns).<br />4. Regardless of the family swap, both brothers have sired children so Jacques can't be waiting for his first child<br />Richardnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7684531976778247960.post-58624705026734534042021-09-24T20:13:06.690-07:002021-09-24T20:13:06.690-07:00You've lost me...You've lost me...OldAFSargehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15935839956936191547noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7684531976778247960.post-34506483007620872362021-09-24T20:01:50.026-07:002021-09-24T20:01:50.026-07:00Sorry for the obtuseness....
