Subject: QOTD for Saturday, September 17, 2022

The following quote is from Seven Stones to Stand or Fall by Diana Gabaldon, “A Fugitive Green,” chapter 18, “Taking Flight.” Copyright 2017 by Diana Gabaldon, all rights reserved.

“‘You are willing to marry dis man?’ he asked. ‘I see he is rich, but maybe better to take a poor man who will treat you well.’
‘Ze is zes maanden zwanger, idioot,’ said the minister’s wife. ‘She’s six months gone with child.’ ‘Is dit die schurk die je zwanger heeft gemaakt?’ She removed the pipe from the corner of her mouth and gestured from the door to Minnie’s belly: ‘He’s the no-good who got you pregnant?’ A hefty kick from the occupant made Minnie grunt and double over.
‘Ja, is die schurk,’ she assured the woman, glancing over her shoulder to the door, where Hal’s shadow in the window was visible, a larger shadow that must be Harry behind him.”

[> Sometimes I forget how important Harry is. Hal can’t help but always see John as the little brother it seems. Harry is more Hal’s wingman than his own brother. I always wonder if Hall knows John is gay (I think he does) and that makes him not quite be able to totally rely on him. -- Kathy in PA, Sat, September 17 2022, 18:06:21
