The following quotation is from Written In my Own Heart’s Blood by Diana Gabaldon. Copyright 2014. All Rights Reserved. Chapter20. A Crackling of Thorns



Henri-Christian, dizzy from smoke, had fallen against the doorframe and was clinging to it. He was too frightened to move; I could see him shaking his head as Germain pulled at him.



“Throw him, Germain! Throw your brother!” Fergus was shouting as loudly as he could, his voice cracking with the strain, and several other voices joined in. “Throw him!”



I saw Germain’s jaw set hard, and he yanked Henri-Christian loose, picked him up, and clutched him with one arm, wrapping the rope around the other.



“No!” Jamie bellowed, seeing it. “Germain, don’t!”

[> I really thought it was going to be OK, that Germaine would pull a Tarzan-like move, and he and HC would make it down. Then - heartbreak. -- DianaH, Thu, July 28 2022, 9:17:17

[> [> Me too. And it was SO much heartache for so many people right there to see it. And way too much for Germaine to bear. -- Kathy in PA, Fri, July 29 2022, 8:47:48
