Outlander Book Club: Go Tell the Bees That I Am Gone Chapter 137 breakdown

Foreshadowing in the Outlander chapter

Amaranthus seems to know too much. She is very suspicious. She immediately jumps to the idea that the bottle of brandy could have a poison in it because of one conversation. Why would she consider that? Hal has never really struck me as someone who would even consider suicide.

Plus, she opened a letter for Hal? Why would she do that? Unless, she is working with Richardson.

And why is Denys Randall always around? He told William not to trust Richardson and now seems to trust the man? All of this is clearly developing the plot.

Adapting the Go Tell the Bees That I Am Gone chapter

I don’t think that we’ll see a lot of Hal in the TV series. I think it’s just another character to add in when we don’t really need him. To keep the storyline condensed to the important parts, we only really need John, William, and Amaranthus.

So, I don’t think we’ll see William ride to Charles Town. A lot of Hal’s part could be done through letters. This could lead to William remaining in Savannah when the letter for Hal arrives so he finds out where John is. This quickly gets him on the road to Jamie to save his father.
