i have recently re-read ravens, the new prouloge in from the Two rivers. and there is a quote that hit me strangely....
The Wisdom sniffed in disbelief, but she continued to watch Nynaeve like a hawk. That was surprising. Mistress Barran often praised Nynaeve publicly for being such a quick learner. She had apprenticed Nynaeve three years earlier, after her then-apprentice died of some sickness even Mistress Barran could not cure
this shows us mistress barran knows somehting is up, and might have made a connection between nyn and her old apprentice now take alook at this.... Nynaeve straightened on her knees, done with fastening the bandage, and gave a satisfied nod. And to Egwene's surprise, Mistress Barran knelt down and undid it again, even lifting the bread-poultice to peer at the gash in Bili's thigh before beginning to wrap the cloth back around his leg. She actually looked ... disappointed. But why?
this shows us mistress barran knows that nyn can heal gashes without a bruise. she is trying to figure out why. we also know that nyn can channel at this age. could misstress barran know that nyn can channel. i know this is kinda irrelevant to the books but still, it makes you think.....thoughts anyone?

Good catch:)))n I think it is possible that she suspects something, but I don't believe she thinks is channeling. Because if she did, she would have send nyn to the tower. One of her apprentice has already died a horrible dead, so if she did figure it out she would have send nyn away.
But we don't have to rule out that she is just waiting for nyn to make a fault, so nynaeve can become the best hearler;)
bye, isabel

I think that if Nynaeve had healed Bili with the One Power Mistress Barran would have seen it as proof and sent Nynaeve to the White Tower...the only thing that saved Nynaeve from going to the Tower as a teenager was that she did not heal Bili with the Power...
Since she did not Mistress Barran had no proof...and there is no other proof that as an apprentice she used the power again...it was not until she became Wisdom that she used the power to heal sporadically
