Subject: Quote of the Day for Monday, December 24.

The following quote is taken from Lord John and the Private Matter, Chapter 11, German Red. Copyright 2003, Diana Gabaldon. All rights reserved.

"Mother -- how old were you when you married Captain DeVane?"

She clapped one hand to her head, as though to trap the errant spectacles before they could take flight. Her face was unguarded, taken by surprise by his question. He could see the waves of memory pass across it, tinged with pleasure and ruefulness. Her lips pursed a little, and then widened in a smile.

"Fifteen," she said. The faint dimple that showed only when she was most deeply amused glimmered in her cheek. "I had a wonderful dress!"

:D

Ok - I did NOT pick this quote because of a red theme - that's totally coincidental. :D

I think Benedicta would have been a Hoser. It's very sweet that John is so close to her, maybe because he's the baby? (NT) -- kgp, 04:37:09 12/24/07 Mon
I think the theme is the body's immediate and uncontrollable reactions to strong emotions. If that's not it, then once again you've stumped me, Judie. You are SO GOOD! Merry Christmas everyone! (NT) -- Jane, 06:39:27 12/24/07 Mon
- hahah - no theme, really - other than my usual dumb ones. (NT) -- Judie, 09:32:45 12/24/07 Mon
  - Judie, your quotes and YOU always make me smile! (NT) -- Jane, 05:53:11 12/26/07 Wed
What I find so endearing about this quote is how once she was transported back to that moment in her life, she responded with what to a fifteen year old was the salient memory. Not that she got married or who she married or what the wedding night was like, but her wonderful dress. (NT) -- tlk2vicki, 14:29:34 12/24/07 Mon
