The following quote is taken from Lord John and the Brotherhood of the Blade by Diana Gabaldon, Chapter 34, Duchess of Pardloe. Copyright (c) 2007 by Diana Gabaldon. All rights reserved.

� �Do you mean to tell me that I might have told you this�any of you�and expected you not to go straight out in pursuit of the matter, regardless of the threat?�

�Well, of course not.� He stared at her in incomprehension. �What else could we do?�

She drew a trembling hand down her face, and turned to the wall, where an ornamental looking glass hung.

�Would it be better if I�d had daughters?� She asked the mirror, in apparent earnestness.

�No,� she answered herself. �They�d only marry men, and there you are.� �

Ah, Benedicta, John could have had no more wonderful mother than you!

She certainly understands men. I hope she and the general have a long and happy marriage. (NT) -- kgp, 04:52:07 11/30/07 Fri
Question -- and forgive me if it's already been discussed -- does LJG family know of his sexuality? (NT) -- MEL, 06:06:26 11/30/07 Fri
- I think we decided that at least Hal likely knows but won't talk about it. You'd have to look back in the archives for the discussions. I think they took place late September/Early October when the board was pretty new, but they are worth the search. (NT) -- Jane, 06:20:48 11/30/07 Fri
What a lucky guy John is to have had a mother like Benedicta...if not for her would he have turned out to have such wonderful respect and admiration for women, his love of literature, and his awesome way with words? I love to "hear" him talk, even if he doesn't find us sexy! (NT) -- Jane, 06:26:13 11/30/07 Fri
- I do love Benedicta. I think it is wonderful that Diana creates such rich and layered women around John. This scene also made me giggle just a bit. (NT) -- Oleander, 07:58:40 11/30/07 Fri
