The following quotation is from Written In my Own Heart’s Blood by Diana Gabaldon. Copyright 2014 All Rights Reserved. Chapter 73 Peculiar Behavior Of A Tent


Suddenly he grasped Percy’s arm, squeezing hard.

“And where do you come into this?” he said, voice level and cold. “Why are you telling me all this?”

Percy drew breath, but didn’t jerk away. He returned Grey’s stare, brown eyes clear and direct.

“Where I come into it doesn’t matter,” he said. “And there isn’t time. You need to find your son quickly. As to why I tell you . . . “

John saw it coming and didn’t pull away. Percy smelled of bergamot and petitgrain and the red wine on his breath. John’s grip on Percy’s arm loosened.

”Pour vos beaux yeux,” Percy had whispered against his lips - and laughed, damn him.

[> Is it “for your beautiful eyes” if I remember my high school French? So sad, Percy is one character that I have sympathy for their childhood twisting them. -- Kathy in PA, Tue, August 09 2022, 13:52:50

[> [> Percy - I had high hopes for him at first. He and John seemed to get on so well. But he's weak and petty in ways. His betrayal of their relationship in Germany was trashy. -- kgp, Wed, August 10 2022, 6:16:13

[> [> [> Yes. That’s what I think of when I think of Percy - a weak man. Although he did come through for John a bit here. -- Kathy in PA, Wed, August 10 2022, 14:13:46
