Subject: QOTD for Thursday, September 29, 2022

The following quote is from A Breath of Snow and Ashes by Diana Gabaldon, Chapter 6, Ambush, Copywrite 2005 by Diana Gabaldon, All rights reserved

(Thursdays, Fridays, and Sundays are late days for me.)

"Jem!" Brianna made to go after him but was hampered by an oncoming crowd headed for the table.

"Ah, dinna fash yourself about him," Lizzie assured her. "Everyone kens who he is, he'll come to nay harm."

She might still have gone after him, save that she saw a small blond head pop up beside Jem's. Germain, Jem's bosom friend. Germain was two years older, and had a great deal more worldly knowledge that the average five-year-old, thanks in great part to his father's tutelage. She did hope he wasn't picking pockets in the crowd, and made a mental note to frisk him for contraband, later.


I love how Diana can get so much description in such a few words!

[> Great quote - I can picture ruddy haired Jem and his buddy Germaine eeling through the crowd together. -- DianaH, Fri, September 30 2022, 9:55:21
