: I think they should have gone for it - and to hell
with the consequences!!
: Wolfie.
: : A happy 4th of July to all you in the USA from a
wannabe republican!!
: : I know all you guys are out there celebrating but
down in in NZ I'm just cold!! So I've been
thinking.....
: : What if Alice and Uncas had not shuffled off this
mortal coil and they had indeed burst their
respective bodices and declared their feelings that
were nearly so obvious! Would such a relationship, in
those times, have been allowed to continue and
flourish? Would Cora and Chingachcook(Is that the
right spelling?) have allowed it do you think? I
vaguely remember a mini series or drama a while ago
that dealt with this issue where a widowed settler
had begun a relationship with a NA man and they were
both dealt with fairly severely.
: : So what do you think?
: : Shivering at my computer
: : Erin!
:Interesting question you raise about Cora & Chingachook on whether they would've approved. I would think Cora would considering she fell in love with Hawkeye ( he is not Indian but was raised in and adopted their ways). I don't know about Chingachook. Perhaps he would've preferred an Indian bride for his son. But wasn't Uncas friendly with the neighbor's wife (the blonde)...sorry their names escape me at the moment.
