Subject: QOTD for Saturday June 16th.

The following quote is taken from
Drums of Autumn by Diana Gabaldon, Chapter 34, Lallybroch.
Copyright (c) 1997 by Diana Gabaldon. All rights reserved.


There was something else; some current of joy that ran among the
members of the family, unseen but lively as electricity.
She realized only slowly what it was; a remark from Ian brought it into focus.

“We didna think that Jamie would ever have a bairn of his own.
Ian’s smile across the table was warm enough to melt ice.
“You’ll have never seen him, though?”
She shook her head, swallowing the remains of the last bite,
smiling back in spite of her full mouth.
That was it, she thought; they were delighted with her not so much for her sake but for Jamie’s.
They loved him and they were happy not for themselves but for him.

Thank you all, I loved to share some quotes that I've enjoyed while reading The Books. Helka, writing from summer cabin, listening to birds and watching the lake.

[> It's been a busy week, so I am just now reading this week's QOTD. Helka, as always, your gentle insights are always thought-provoking and facinating. Thank you for a great week (even if it was condensed into one day...) and enjoy the peace of the lake. -- Betsy Barefootspinner, 10:51:00 06/16/12 Sat
