In Eb's defense, he was born no later than the 1730's. He's going to have very different values than most modern parents. People routinely sent their children away to be trained by others when they were very young. Noble children were often raised as hostages. Hiding children probably doesn't seem like a drastic move when you grew up in those times.

I don't disagree with that, but that makes the rift between them all the wider.

Yeah, in the Chapter 4 thread, someone mentioned a generation gap. It's more like a 10-15 generation gap; a generation being generally defined as lasting 20-30 years.

@Mira: I'd say that Susan was at least right about Harry not being willing to listen to keeping Maggie out of his life and that's why she kept it from him. But yeah she should have applied that principle to herself too.

She didn't know that though, did she? It is something the two of them should have worked out together. Also remember this is the guy who repeatedly tried to keep her safe, as in when he went after the Loop, stay in the car, that the party was a really bad idea, she is the one who didn't listen to him. So if she was able to make a good case that the baby wouldn't be safe around him, I doubt he would have tried to fight her on it. No, I think she was 1] afraid that if he really thought the baby was in danger because of him, it would be in just as much danger because of her and suggest a blind adoption.2] There was bitterness and resentment because of her plight towards Harry, real or imagined and she wanted to punish him by not telling him.
Arjan:
Harry had the habit of keeping people safe by keeping people ignorant and telling them to stay out of it. That can backfire.
