Subject: Quote of the Day for Saturday, October 20, 2007

The following quote is taken from Lord John and the Brotherhood of the Blade by Diana Gabaldon, Chapter 9, "Unnatural Acts." Copyright (c) 2007 by Diana Gabaldon. All rights reserved.

“Don’t bellow, there’s a good chap,” Quarry said, pressing both hands against his temples, apparently in hope of keeping the contents of his head from escaping.

“Late night, was it?” Grey pulled up a stool and leaned on the desk, eyeing his friend.

“I believe I’ve eaten something that disagreed with me,” Quarry said with dignity, and stifled a belch by way of illustration.

“Really? What was her name?”

Quarry burst into a violent coughing fit that left his wig askew and his face empurpled.

“You hound,” he said hoarsely, tenderly patting his chest. “What the devil d’you want, anyway?”

Thanks for all the wonderful insights this week; there were layers of brotherhood I hadn't considered when I started out, so, as usual, the discussions here have immeasurably enriched my experience of the book(s)! Thought I would end with something funny, and Harry Quarry is the one "brother" and close comrade I am still trying to figure out. Is he John's best friend? His mentor? How close can they be when John holds such a key aspect of his identity secret from Harry? Or does he?
