Subject: QOTD for Thursday, August 11, 2022

The following quotation is from Written In my Own Heart’s Blood by Diana Gabaldon. Copyright 2014 All Rights Reserved. Chapter 75 The Cider Orchard


“Shouldn’t we . . . bury Mr. Craddock?” a timid voice suggested behind him.

“He’s not dead, lackbrain!”

Jamie glanced down. He wasn’t - but it wouldn’t be more than a few seconds longer.

“Go with God, man,” he said quietly. Craddock didn’t blink; his eyes were fixed on the sky, not yet dull but sightless.

“Go wi’ your fellows,” he said to the two lingerers, then saw that they were Craddock’s two sons, maybe thirteen and fourteen, white-faced and staring as sheep. “Say farewell to him,” he said abruptly. “He’ll still hear ye. Then . . . go.” He thought for a moment to send them to La Fayette, but they’d be no safer there. “Run!”

[> As I look at my 15 year old grandson and thank God he’ll, hopefully, never have to deal with anything like this. Jamie seems to be able to help people man up because he expects it of them. He gives them confidence they didn’t know they had. -- Kathy in PA, Thu, August 11 2022, 12:10:40
