Subject: NO SPOILER: My quote from Diana is too long to post here, so please go inside. Then I have a question for everyone:
In reply to: Karen 's message, "Lord John's role in the Revolution" on 13:16:22 12/29/07 Sat

"Jamie's often forced into a position of serving destiny, if you will--but it's never _about_ that, for him. It's about protecting the people he sees as his. He's never yet fought for a Cause--damn few soldiers ever do.

(And I continue to be amazed at the occasional reader I see (not you ), who talks about Jamie's "fighting for Scottish freedom," in the earlier books, they having evidently failed entirely to notice what's actually going _on_ in these books (and being pretty clueless about history in general), instead forming the idiot syllogism "Jamie = hero, Hero=dying to go be killed for "freedom", ergo...".)"
