Subject: Quote of the day for Sunday, Oct. 30, 2022

It looks like we don't have quotes for this week, so here goes... Roger is my favorite character, for lots of reasons. I thought it might be fun to see how he meets others in the books for the first time.

Quote of the day for Sunday, October 30. Taken from Outlander Chapter 2 Copyright Diana Gabaldon 1991
Claire meets Roger
Amused, I agreed that I would not reveal his deadly secret, and looked about for a comfortable chair in which to receive the latest revelations from the eighteenth century. The wing chair nearest the windows looked suitable, but as I reached to turn it toward the desk, I discovered it was already occupied. The inhabitant, a small boy with a shock of glossy black hair, was curled up in the depths of the chair, sound asleep.
“Roger!” The vicar, coming to assist me, was as surprised as I. The boy, startled out of sleep, shot bolt upright, wide eyes the color of moss.
“Now what are you up to in here, you young scamp?” The vicar was scolding affectionately. “Oh, fell asleep reading the comic papers again?” He scooped up the brightly colored pages and handed them to the lad. “Run along now, Roger, I have business with the Randalls. Oh, wait, I’ve forgotten to introduce you – Mrs. Randall, this is my son, Roger.”

“Can I help you?”…..
The eyes swept up fro his size-eleven plimsols to the face a foot above her. The sidelong smile grew wider. “I hate to start right off with a cliché, she said, “but my, how you have grown, young Roger!”
