Subject: QOTD for Tuesday, May 1, 2012 (Happy Birthady, Jamie!)

The following quote is taken from Outlander by Diana Gabaldon, Chapter 26, The Laird’s Return. (c) 1991 by Diana Gabaldon. All rights reserved. Page 569

“Dinna worry for Murtagh. There’s a canty wee bird can mind for himself.”

“Canty? Murtagh?” I knew the word meant “cheerful,” which seemed incongruous to a degree. “I don’t think I’ve ever seen him smile. Have you?

“Oh, aye. At least twice.”

“How long have you known him?

“Twenty-three years. He’s my godfather.”

That is one of the things I love about her writing you will just be going right along in a not funny place at all and the next thing I know I am laughing out loud.

[> I too am somewhat bemused at the idea of Murtagh being 'canty'. While I apprecitae the...um, art...of the Exile version I was disapointed that Murtagh was drawn as so good looking, I would rather have seen him looking as we know him. -- jayn, 10:36:29 05/01/12 Tue
