William sets off to find Dottie in Outlander Book 9, Chapter 102

It’s time for William to find Dottie and bring her back home. He spends Outlander Book 9, Chapter 102 thinking of things that could happen in the future.

The chapter starts very simply with William starting his journey. We find out about conversations that he has had with Lord John Grey and Hal Grey about getting Dottie back. This is important to understand the dangers that William could face along the way and know the time of year that he is traveling.

After that, William starts to think about Dottie and her child. There’s a sadness as he things of Minerva Joy, who died from the bloody flux that hit the Quaker family that Dottie was recovering with. That then leads to thoughts of Amaranthus and the idea of having his own son.

This chapter focuses on the task at hand for the most part. However, I think it gives us a look at the life that William would like to have. I’ll get to my thoughts on that in the foreshadowing section.

I doubt that we’ll see this chapter used in the TV series. There are a few reasons for this, and I’ll get to all of them in the adaptation section.

Let’s get into Go Tell the Bees That I Am Gone Chapter 102.
