Chapter 4 Drop
Walter the skull:
Mira: Who raised Harry's mother is a great question. I think Eb had to know about Malcolm. I think he alluded to meeting him or at least watching him in Blood Rites. We know Morgan knew.
123Chikadee:
Maybe a family friend? Someone who could recognize that she'd develop magic and be able to tell Eb. I mean maybe his wife's family or his side? Yeah I dunno.
I get why he's freaking out about Maggie Jr. I mean now a lot of people know who she is. That whole line Harry said about people trying again...feels like foreshadowing, especially when combo'd with Eb's nervousness/dislike/warning about Svartalves. I mean, I remember that bigfoot story where Irwin was bullied by Svartalves kids and that was explained by them learning how to be predators in 'safe spaces'. Just ugh. No. Do not want.
morriswalters:
Harry's wrong on one count. Margaret died at or around 180. So in that sense Eb achieved his goal. Nobody took a run at her when she was ten. And Eb took responsibility for what she became.
And Eb is right, in that, Harry's existence is the cause of the deaths of his family and Susan.
A little foreshadowing if you needed it. Does anyone think that Eb is coming to Christmas dinner at the Carpenters?
@Dina
If little Maggie is traumatized then Harry might have been wiser to let her decide if she wants to come out. Maybe.
123Chikadee:
@morriswalters: Yeah and she died in a situation that was probably of her own making as well, at least in part, by hanging out w/ the wrong crowd. Maggie Jr got targeted b/c of who she's related to. So yeah, some differences there. Harry's a danger magnet and I think his desire for a more nuclear family is overriding more important things.
Lol no, but this chapter indicates Eb might not show up b/c he died.
Yeah, Harry should have let her decide. He didn't exactly sound enthusiastic to have them meet anyway!
Walter the skull:
123Chikadee: I was thinking about that story too. We don't know much about them.
