makes me think that Methos was the Senator, and that he's a "confirmed bachelor" because he diddled the slave boy while being married.
I like that option. But then I'm a little bit shallow. *g* But Methos speaks about it like *he* got in trouble for meddling in *other* people's 'domestic disputes', so he couldn't have been the senator. Maybe he was a fourth party who couldn't keep his nose out of the senator and his wife's petty squabbles over the slave boy.
Okay. At this point, he might as well have been the scarecrow.
But then again, the man was married 68 times -- I think you must relinquish your confirmed bachelor status after, at least, the 40th marriage.
Looking at that, I think that was Duncan's point, actually. "Oh, so first you were married 68 times, but *now* you're the wise old bachelor?" But yeah, it makes no sense in context. Staying out of people's marital problems makes you a bachelor? Huh?

IT MAKES NO SENSE!
Heh, maybe that's why it was cut.
