Subject: Ooops! Had to post this one again. QOTD for Friday, October 12

The following quote is taken from Lord John and the Brotherhood of the Blade by Diana Gabaldon, Chapter 16, In Which an Engagement Is Broken. Copyright (c) 2007 by Diana Gabaldon. All rights reserved.

““Aunt Bennie! Dearest, you mustn’t be upset; Johnny’s all right. Now, now…” Olivia hovered over the countess for a moment, patting her shoulder. Then she bent closer, and her look of tender anxiety vanished suddenly.

“Aunt Bennie!” she said reproachfully.

Benedicta, Dowager Countess of Melton, sat up, reached for a napkin, and mopped at what were clearly now revealed to be tears of laughter.

“John, you will be the death of me yet,” she said, sniffing and dabbing at her eyes.”


I can’t imagine anyone being John’s mother but Benedicta. Would he have turned out so likeable with Jenny, Claire, or Jocasta as his materfamilias?
