Subject: QUOTE OF THE DAY Tuesday, January 29, 2008

The following quote is taken from Lord John and the Hand of Devils, Lord John and the Haunted Soldier, Part I, �The Inquisition.� Copyright � 2007, Diana Gabaldon. All rights reserved. 

�A, um, favor, I believe you said?�

�Yes, my lord.� The recounting of his woes�and the recollection of the Reverend Mr. Thackeray�s most iniquitous sermon�had revived Mr. Lister more than brandy. He sat bolt upright, cup clutched to his bosom, his dead son�s sword across his knees, and fixed Grey with a burning gaze.

�I wish your help, my lord, in finding the girl. Anne Thackeray. I have some reason to suppose she was with child�and if so, I want the babe.�

❖❖❖❖❖
�I am completely insane.�

�You�ve a very kind heart, me lord,� Tom Byrd said reprovingly. �Not the same thing.�

John does have a very kind heart..I guess being insane isn't exactly the same thing ;-) (NT) -- Jane, 18:56:34 01/28/08 Mon
- Percy said it best: John takes care of everybody. He can't seem to help it. (NT) -- tlk2vicki, 21:48:36 01/28/08 Mon
  - For a man in his position, in this time, wouldn't this sort of action be tantamount to insanity? (Jk, sort of). It does seem that John let's his kind heart put him into some troublesome situations though. (NT) -- Oleander, 06:43:35 01/29/08 Tue
Yes, he does take care of people, even those like Lister who are not close to him. It could be connected to that sense of duty and honour by which he defines himself. (NT) -- Jan, 23:10:02 01/28/08 Mon
Did you all read wht Diana had to say today about the baby on Compuserve? Can I post it here without getting into trouble? (NT) -- Jane, 16:24:17 01/31/08 Thu
