Outlander Book Club: Written in My Own Heart’s Blood Chapter 135 breakdown

Just the Outlander chapter

The chapter starts with Hal and John getting to a house in Saperville. When a woman answers and says that there is no Mrs. Grey in the home, the Greys get suspicious. John takes matters into his own hands and pushes the woman into a cubbyhole.

The two rescue Amaranthus from the room she is being held in. Of course, Amaranthus is shocked, but she listens to who the two men are. This is when she shares that Benjamin is dead and her name is thanks to her father being a botonist.

We get to see Hal bond with his grandchild. The child immediately takes to Hal’s gorget, which is a Grey tradition.

The baby is called Trevor Wattiswade Grey. The Wattiswade comes from Ben’s mother’s side of the family. It was Minnie’s maiden name. This is the bit I think foreshadows some things, but I also think that the name was given to make it clear that Trevor really is Ben’s son.
