Date: 18 May 2011 12:54 am Title: A Woman Cloaked in Scandal This story explained very well the time lapse between the kiss and the fight in the bunkhouse, but it does leave the reader thinking: poor Adam, he may have peacefully resolved things in his own mind, but he’s sure in for a pounding when he gets home.  He would have been unprepared for that on all levels.Author’s Response: Thank you, mohegan. Adam must have gone somewhere since it was after dark when he returned home from the Miller place. I’m glad to know my story is a good possibility for what Adam did before confronting Hoss.*

I'm a historical archaeologist who loves westerns and Bonanza is my favorite. I wrote my first Bonanza story in 2006 and the plot bunnies are still hopping. The majority of my stories include the entire family and many are prequels set during the period when Ben and Marie were married.

  1. I was in the mood for some SWIB fics this morning. The connection between Marie and Regan would have never crossed my mind… it really does make a lot of sense. Nice peek into Adam’s thoughts. Wish there was a way to warn him about what he’s headed home to. Thanks patina.

    1. Thank you for giving this story a read, Beej. Regan’s “past” was only hinted at in the episode, much like Marie’s past was. I’m glad to know you enjoyed this.

    1. Thank you, jojay. Both Regan and Marie had mysterious and hinted-at pasts yet Cartwright men were willing to forgive and forget what both women had done before. Thank you for letting me know you enjoyed this story.
