Subject: QOTD for Tuesday, December 18, 2007

The following quote is taken from Lord John and the Hand of Devils, Lord John and the Succubus by Diana Gabaldon, Chapter 4 The Gun Crew. Copyright © 2007


"He had known the danger of telling anyone about it. He washed himself, stood straight and walked firmly, spoke normally and looked men in the eye. No one had suspected the bruised and riven flesh beneath his uniform, or the hollowness beneath his breastbone. And if he attacker sat at meals and broke bread with him, he had not known it. From that day, he had carried a dagger at all times, and no one had ever touched him again against his will."


It upsets me that John had no one to talk with after the attack. The Frasers all had each other for support. John was quite alone. As close as he is to his mother and to Hal, there are things of which they can never speak.
