Rescuing Edward

[tabithabun.livejournal.com]

Two random questions: firstly, how do you pronounce Oeschli in your own head?  Eshli? Eeshli? Eskli?  Eesklee?  (These things bother me...for years I said Sanger to rhyme with Hanger and now think probably it's pronounced Sanja.)

Secondly, is it too far-fetched to think that one of the reasons Chas and Rose are so keen to accompany Edward to Switzerland is that's where their mother's plane crashed?  I remember Karen's comment at the pantomime about having to hurry back to Rose and Chas in case they think she's finally abandoned them, which gives her bonus points for psychological insight in my book.  

Oh, and a third question: do you suppose Giles told Edward's father what their name was and was there ever any contact between them?

Eesklee.

Also definitely to rhyme with hanger.

To your second question, no idea.

Third, no. If Giles gave the man a name, it was certainly a false one, I'd say. But much more likely, he never gave a name at all. He had his naval career to think of, remember.

Although Edward must have known their name, so not much point giving a false one.
