The following quote is taken from Lord John and the Hand of Devils, Lord John and the Succubus by Diana Gabaldon, chapter 2. Copyright � 2007

""Oh" said Grey, momentarily stymied. He rallied, though, and beckoned, curling his fingers at the boy. "Come, then; show me. I am a soldier, I am not afraid of a witch."

"You will kill her and cut out her heart and fry it over the fire?" the boy asked eagerly, peeling himself off the wall. He reached out to touch the hilt of Grey's dagger, still on his belt.

"Well, perhaps," Grey temporized. "Let us go and find her first." He grasped the boy under the arms and swung him up; the child came willingly enough, curling his legs around Grey's waist and cuddling close to him for warmth."

I'm fascinated by John's ease with children.

Oh me too! This ease probably went a long way in LJ's becoming such a wonderful father to Willie. I think it is because he always treats them respectfully, never condescends, and really listens to them. (NT) -- Bedelia, 05:23:08 12/16/07 Sun
Ahhhh, Lord John. You are so cute. :D (NT) -- Judie, 08:56:22 12/16/07 Sun
Yeah, like we needed another reason to love John. This was sweet thank you for posting it Karen! (NT) -- Jane, 09:19:33 12/16/07 Sun
He seems very close to his nephews, so I suppose he has a lot of experience with young children. (NT) -- maddiej, 09:54:40 12/16/07 Sun
Isn't there a bit in BOTB where he has a flashback about Geneva coming into his room as a little girl, after having a nightmare? He seems to have been very kind, though he must have been very young himself then. (NT) -- MsNaugha, 13:20:52 12/16/07 Sun
