Subject: QOTD for Sun Oct 24th 2021

The following quote is from "An Echo in the Bone" by Diana Gabaldon Ch 29 "Conversation with a headmaster" copyright © 2009 by Diana Gabaldon all rights reserved


"I share your concern, Mr. MacKenzie," Menzies said, looking up and meeting his eyes in a way that made it seem as though he truly did. "I've had a wee word with Miss Glendenning, and I think it won't happen again."

Roger held his gaze for moment, wanting to say all sorts of things but realizing that Menzies was not responsible for most of them.

"If it does," he said evenly, "I won't come back with a shotgun--but I will come back with the sheriff. And a newspaper photographer, to document Miss Glendenning being taken off in handcuffs."

Menzies blink once and put his spectacles back on.

"You're sure ye wouldn't rather send your wife round with the family shotgun?" He asked wistfully, and Roger laughed, despite himself.

[> [> [> Mr. Menzies must not know what a great shot Bri is. Don’t you hate that there are teachers like that for young children. My brother had a horrible, horrible first grade teacher and my mother had 3 of us besides him still at home. She always felt bad that she didn’t stand up to the teacher, but 60 years ago you didn’t do that, -- Kathy in PA, Sun, October 24 2021, 13:09:30

[> [> “Blink”should be “blinked,” but certainly not much of a mistake, took you pointing it out & 3 more reads to find it, -- CindyG, Sun, October 24 2021, 9:37:08
