Ok, I'm sure this probably has been discussed before, but I still have something to say:
I know it doesn't take a genius to see the link here: In TEA, during Thursday and Landen's wedding, a "familar" young man shows up and tells them that if they have a son, they should try to persuad him away from the Chronogaurd. And in (I think) LIAGB, (if I remember correctly) Thursday's dad says something about a son...so obviously you're getting my point about Thursday having a son....

So is anyone thinking the same way I am (is that possible?) or am I just waaay off ?

Oh, I've been assuming that the visitor at the wedding was her son since I first read that scene, so certainly she's going to have a son eventually. It seems likely that this baby will be that son, although it's certainly possible that she'll manage to get Landen reactuallized and have a second child.

I donīt even dare to imagine the name of that poor child....

What does the old rhyme have to say about "Thursday's child"? Is it "full of woe"?

No Simon, that's Wednesday's child. Thursday's child has far to go - quite appropriate.

If I recall correctly:

Monday's child is fair of face,
Tuesday's child is full of grace,
Wednesday's child is full of woe,
Thursday's child has far to go,
Friday's child is loving and giving,
Saturday's child works hard for a living,
But the child that's born on the Sabbath Day,
Is witty and wise and good and gay!

BTW, I prefer to think there's nothing to it, since I was born on a Wednesday.

Oh woe is me!

Isn't Thursday's mother's name Saturday? And doesn't Thursday really fill the requirement of "Saturday's child works hard for a living"?

Thursday's mum's name is Wednesday so "full of woe"

Actually, Thursday's mom's name is Wednesday

But ever since reading "The Eyre Affair," I have suspected that the "familiar" visitor at the wedding is Thursday and Landon's son.

I just wanted to say that... yeah, her mumīs name is Wednesday.
Ever thought that Thursday might name her son Anton?...

Oh yeah Wednesday! Is it one of her Aunts that is Tuesday? Hang on I'll check. One of her Aunt's middle names, and her Grandma's name is Tuesday. Thursday is "full of woe"? Didn't expect that! Perhaps her life is, I mean, an eradicated husband has to make you a tad upset!

No, mebbe, Thursday is "far to go", (see above).

Naomi, wednesday's child is "full of woe"
Thursday's child has "far to go"

Yes, but Thursday is her mother's child, and her mother is named Wednesday, so she could be considered "Wednesday's child" even if she wasn't born on a Wednesday.

" Thursday's mum's name is Wednesday so [she is] "full of woe" "

That's why I'm saying Thursday is "full of woe" !!!!

Indeed so.

Wan't Thursday actually born on a Saturday? Something like that... I can't remember and someone has stolen my copy so I can't check...
