Subject: QOTD for Saturday, May 5, 2012

The following quote is taken from Outlander by Diana Gabaldon, Chapter 37, Escape, (c) 1991 by Diana Gabaldon. All rights reserved. Page 771

“Leave that to me. Get the bottle and help me sit him up.’

Jamie was half-unconscious as it was, an unwieldy burden who protested being manhandled upright against the bulkhead. “I’m going to die,” he said weakly but precisely, “and the sooner the better. Go away and let me do it in peace.”

Taking firm hold of Jamie’s blazing hair, Murtagh forced his head up and applied the flask to his lips. “Swallow this, me bonny wee dormouse, or I’ll break yer neck. And forebye ye’ll keep it down, too. I’m goin’ to hold shut yer nose and yer mouth; if ye bring it up, it comes out yer ears.”

[> I have a perfect visual of this. I can imagine how much sympathy Murtagh has for a sick Jamie - and we've all been there with someone we love. -- jayn, 15:48:25 05/05/12 Sat
