Subject: QOTD for Thursday, October 7, 2021

The following quotation is from An Echo in the Bone by Diana Gabaldon. Copyright 2009. All Rights Reserved. Chapter 17 Wee Demons


Ian ran a hand over his face, trying to adjust to this information. Now he looked . . . well, no, they still looked like filthy wee demons rather than little girls, their slitted eyes burning through the greasy, matted underbrush of their hair. They’d have to have their heads shaved, he supposed, and hoped he was nowhere in the neighborhood when it was done.

“Aye,” he said, for lack of anything sensible. “Well, then.”

“You’ve got gold?” said Ermintrude, having stopped her retching. She sat up, wiped a small hand over her mouth, and spat expertly. “Where?”

“If I wouldn’t tell him, why would I tell you? And ye can just forget that notion right now,” he assured her, seeing her eyes dart to the knife in his belt.

[> These two are clever little ruffians but no match for Ian. I think Diana is a masterful researcher and knows something about just about everything, weird names included. Although I was thrilled a Barlow showed up in the books even though he was an asshat. -- Kathy in PA, Thu, October 07 2021, 9:37:48
