Subject: Quote of the Day Tuesday 15 January

The following quote is taken from Lord John and the Hand of Devils, Lord John and the Succubus, by Diana Gabaldon, chpater 6. Copyright 2007. All rights reserved.

" "I admire Princess Louisa greatly," he said. "There are few women who are her equal." - And thank God for that, he added to himself - "but I regret that I am not free to undertake any obligation. I have ... an understanding. In England." His understanding with James Fraser was that if he were ever to lay a hand on the man or speak his heart, Fraser would break his neck instantly. It was, however, certainly an understanding, and clear as Waterford crystal."

That's my favorite line in "Succubus", by far! I laughed out loud when I read it the first time. (NT) -- Karen, 03:00:30 01/15/08 Tue
Great line! And a narrow escpe for John! (NT) -- kgp, 05:17:40 01/15/08 Tue
When I was laughing at this line on re-reading it for the first time in years, I couldn't help but think what an amazing writer Diana is. You can feel it, John is SO REAL to her, and she makes him so real for us. How could anyone not love him to death.? (NT) -- Jane, 06:11:57 01/15/08 Tue
I read this quote to anyone who was familiar with Lord John's situation. The last two lines are truly priceless! (NT) -- teddie, 07:53:31 01/15/08 Tue
