astralisRandom question, for anyone familiar with Pamela Dean's Tam Lin, because I am formulating a theory that I think is going to be wrong, and also because my library's only copy of the book is on loan:
There were two dead girls mentioned in the book, yes? Victoria Thompson and Margaret Roxburgh? Whose books does the Fourth Ericson ghost throw out the windows? Victoria's, yes? From the Thompson collection?
I'm pretty sure that they are Victoria's books, which eliminates the Peg Powell=Margaret Roxburgh theory I came up with this morning. I'm trying to figure out how Peg fits into things. She can't really be a reincarnation, or whatever it is, of Margaret Roxburgh if Margaret was the girl who killed herself when Nora was a student, I suppose. But it would explain Peg's connection to the ghost as well as her attachment to Blackstock: she has to be in at least her second year when Janet and co are freshmen, because she tells Janet about her experiences rooming with Sharon the previous year. Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't Peg still around in Janet's last year?
Anyway, that was more like six questions. I need to re-read that book.
