Subject: QOTD for Sunday, August 7, 2022

The following quotation is from Written In my Own Heart’s Blood by Diana Gabaldon. Copyright 2014 All Rights Reserved. Chapter 701 Folie A Trois



But Germain, out of what might have been either loyalty to John or fear of finding himself alone with Jamie - who had rather plainly meant what he said regarding the future of Germain’s arse - wanted to stay in the tent.

“I’ll be fine,” John assured him. “Go with your father.” He was still pale and sweating, but his jaw and hands had relaxed; he wasn’t in severe pain.

“Yes, he will be fine,” I said to Germain, but nodded to Fergus, who went out without further comment. “Fetch me some fresh lint, will you? Then you can come and help me while his lordship rests. As for you - “ I turned to John. “You lie flat, keep your eye closed, and bloody stay out of trouble, if such a thing is possible.”

He swiveled his good eye in my direction, wincing slightly as the movement pulled on the bad one.

“Are you accusing me of causing the imbroglio that resulted in my injury, madam? Because I distinctly recall your playing some minor role in its origins.” He sounded rather cross.

“I had nothing whatever with your ending up here,” I said firmly, though I could feel my cheeks flush.

[> "Minor role" indeed. I wouldn't mind such a role. It's been over long . . . -- kgp, Sat, August 06 2022, 19:25:53

[> Oh my, a minor role for sure, but John, WHAT were you thinking when you confessed that to Jamie in such a manor??? -- DianaH, Mon, August 08 2022, 11:01:31

[> [> Could someone be too honorable? Or is it like a kid that will act up because any attention is good attention? Got me. But obviously it meant something to Claire. -- Kathy in PA, Mon, August 08 2022, 12:59:21
