Subject: QOTD for Monday, December 17, 2007

The following quote is taken from Lord John and the Hand of Devils, Lord John and the Succubus by Diana Gabaldon, Chapter 5 Dark Dreams. Copyright � 2007

""Isn't that a . . . ?" Tom said, goggling at it.

"Yes, it is." Grey gingerly set the box down.

They regarded it in silence for a moment.

"Ah . . . where did you get it, me lord?" Tom asked finally.

"The princess gave it to me. As protection from the succubus."

"Oh." The young valet shifted his weight to one foot, and glanced sidelong at him. "Ah . . . d'ye think it will work?"

"Ah . . ." Can't you just picture the two of them staring at this gift?

I've always been fascinated by "relics" and am amazed that the Princess would actually have this particular bit of this saint's anatomy to give John. I crack up thinking of Tom and John staring at it. Makes you think of Jamie telling Claire about the great statue of the saint with the "uh-hmm" the size of a cannon muzzle that had been chipped away at for centuries LOL.
