The following quote is from A Breath of Snow and Ashes by Diana Gabaldon, chapter 58, “Love One Another.” Copyright © 2005 by Diana Gabaldon, all rights reserved.

“‘Trying to think what on earth I might have said that Mr. MacNeill could possibly have thought was Latin, let alone a Catholic reference,’ he replied, companionably making room for her.
‘You didn’t start singing ‘Ave Maria’ or anything,’she assured him. ‘I would have noticed.’
‘Mm,’ he said, and coughed. ‘Don’t mention the singing, aye?’
‘It’ll get better,’ she said firmly, and turned, pushing and squirming, to make a nest for herself. The mattress was stuffed with wool, much more comfortable—and a hell of a lot quieter—than corn shucks, but very prone to lumps and odd hollows.
‘Aye, maybe,’ he said, though thinking, Maybe. But it will never be what it was. No point in thinking of that, though; he’d grieved as much as he meant to. It was time to make the best of things and get on.”

[> I like that 'he's grieved as much as he meant to' - There are some things you don't get over but you need to keep moving and eventually it gets a bit easier to bear. Other things you need to allow yourself a Pity Party, but let that have an ending point. -- kgp, Thu, November 18 2021, 4:23:26

[> [> You reminded me of the prologue of Echo - somethings you don’t get over ……. I liked that HE chose to move on, too. Roger has been thrown about so much in the 18C by outside factors. -- Kathy in PA, Fri, November 19 2021, 4:24:48
