Subject: QOTD for Wednesday, April 11, 2012

The following quote is taken from The Fiery Cross by Diana Gabaldon, Chapter 40, Duncan’s Secret . Copyright© 2001 by Diana Gabaldon. All rights reserved.

“No, we couldn’t,” I informed him, smiling and bowing to the elderly Misses MacNeil, who were strolling past behind him. “Every nook and cranny in the house is filled with people. So are the barns and stables and outbuildings. And if you had a rendezvous under a bush on the riverbank, think again. This dress cost a bloody fortune.” A fortune in illegal whisky, but a fortune nonetheless.
“Oh, I ken that well enough.”
His eyes traveled slowly over me, from the coils of upswept hair to the tips of my new calf-leather shoes. The dress was pale amber silk, bodice and hem embroidered with silk leaved in shades of brown and gold, and if I did say so myself, it fit me like a glove.
“Worth it,” he said softly, and leaned down to kiss me.”

[> I really liked this - there were so many things Jamie needed at the ridge, so many things that money could have bought, and I'm sure Jocasta would have provided a dress for Claire had he asked. But Jamie spent his hard earned money on this dress to make her look beautiful. IMO that's love. -- jayn, 09:31:36 04/11/12 Wed
