Subject: I can't figure out how to put the quote in here, so it's inside.

The following quote is taken from Lord John and the Brotherhood of the Blade by Diana Gabaldon, Chapter 5, Genius and Sub-Genius. Copyright (c) 2007 by Diana Gabaldon. All rights reserved.

"Light-frigate off the starboard bow," he said under his breath. Percy frowned in bewilderment, but then saw the direction of his glance.

"Really? She looks most respectable," Percy murmured, he having evidently spent enough time with General Stanley in military circles as to have acquired familiarity with such terms as "light-frigate" for a woman of easy virtue.

"Don't go into an alcove with her," Grey murmured back, already nodding and smiling at the approaching lady. "She'll have your hand in your breeches before you can say--Lady Beverly!"




No particular theme this week other than 'things that struck me in BotB that one doesn't particularly expect to find in a romance novel.' :) This quote also shows Ms. Gabaldon's ability to drop odd bits of her research in, which is something else I really like.

Incidentally, where can I find directions for how to change fonts?
