The following quote is taken from Lord John and the Brotherhood of the Blade by Diana Gabaldon, Chapter 28, Huckelsmay. Copyright (c) 2007 by Diana Gabaldon. All rights reserved.

�She flipped open the inkwell on the table and picked up her quill, very matter-of-fact. �You can tell me what you know, and I will write.�

�How efficient,� he said, smiling despite himself. �Very well. Let me think how to begin�. Perhaps we should say first where Scotland is? Yes, that seems right. �Scotland lies to the north of England.��

�It is cold there?� the girl inquired, writing carefully.

�Very cold. And it rains incessantly. Let me spell �incessantly� for you�.�

A pleasant half hour spent in Scotland with Agnes-Maria left him, if not calmer, at least distracted, and he went to bed and fell asleep, to dream of cold, high mountains and the smoke of a fire in the Carryarick Pass.�

With this scene I can visualize Lord John helping Willie with his homework.

Thank you everyone for checking in daily and offering your feedback. We do love Lord John Grey!

I loved your choice of quotes this week and especially this little surprize one with Agnes-Maria! He is so sweet with children and I love to think of him as Willie's dad, making them let him write with his left hand, schooling him in the use of a sword, telling him soldier stories. I was also touched when he recalled little Geneva joining him in his room, telling her about windmills to calm her night fears. What a guy! (NT) -- Jane, 07:40:33 10/13/07 Sat
- Meant to say "surprise". I honestly can spell. Please don't worry about the people allowed to teach your children hee hee. (NT) -- Jane, 08:05:27 10/13/07 Sat
This tiny girl made him to be part of the world again. He isolated himself from his men but the distance didn't help him at all.. (NT) -- Helka, 08:40:01 10/13/07 Sat
This was such a heart warmer. I also loved John playing with his nephews. (NT) -- kgp, 16:21:51 10/13/07 Sat
Thank you for a great week that surely proved our Lord John is quite an appealing ladies' man, as well as a man's man. (NT) -- pamelalass, 17:34:31 10/13/07 Sat
- Yuk, yuk. (NT) -- tlk2vicki, 09:00:50 10/14/07 Sun
