Subject: Quote of the Day for Thursday, 19 April 2012

The following quote is taken from An Echo in the Bone by Diana Gabaldon, Chapter 84, “The Right of It”. Copyright 2009 by Diana Gabaldon. All rights reserved.

“I want to leave,” she said calmly.

“I dinna blame ye,” he said, with a glance at the house. The arbor was covered with new leaves, the green of them fresh and soft from the rain, but someone would find them soon. “Shall we walk down by the loch for a bit?”

“No, I mean I want to leave here. Lallybroch. For good.”

That took him aback more than a bit.

“Ye dinna mean that, I think,” he said at last, cautious. “It’s been a shock, after all. Ye shouldna-- ”

She shook her head and put her hand to her breast.

“Something’s broken in me, Jamie,” she said softly. “Whatever it was that bound me…it binds me nay more.”

[> I think Jenny knew that there was a life, more then just her life at Lallybroch, for her. Even though some of her children were still there, others like Jamie, wee Ian and Michael had all left and found life beyond Lallybroch. Her "home" at Lallybroch, Ian, was gone, and she knew that Jamie and Claire could show her things that she had never seen or experienced before. -- LisaW, 19:48:13 04/18/12 Wed

[> I am greatly looking forward to Jenny's adventures in America. What a good time this will be! -- Susannah, 04:31:19 04/19/12 Thu

[> I have never suffered a loss like Jenny but I can understand the emotion. Lallybroch will always be home, but it isn't her place anymore. And she is very wise to know she needs to actually step side for young Jamie's wife to take over. Some dowagers can be in the background, but not Jenny. -- jayn, 05:48:25 04/19/12 Thu
