Quote of the day for Friday, November 4. Taken from Written in My Heart’s Own Blood, p. 177, 178,183, 189, 207-208, Copyright Diana Gabaldon
Roger has met main characters from three different time periods! He’s met Joe and Frank, in his own time; Jamie, Ian, Jr., William, and John in another. And in earliest time, even met Brian, Ian Sr.’s Dad John, Dougal, and BJR. Even Claire never met (yet, at least!) Brian or Ian’s father John Murry. While Bree sees Brian, their encounter isn’t the same, as Brian thinks Bree is Ellen.
He’s been with Claire and Jenny in two time periods, and Geillis, Buck, and Bree and the children in three!
~~~~~~~~~
Roger meets Brian
What fascinates me with his encounters with Brian is Roger’s searching for glimpses of Jamie, Bree, Jem and Mandy, as well as how what he knows could greatly shift his own very personal history.

p 177
“Hauld your wheesht, dog,” a tall, dark man said in a tolerant tone.
“Come here sir, and dinna be minding him. He wouldna eat you; he’s had his dinner.”….
…. “Welcome, sir. Ye’ll sup wi’ us? The lass has it nearly ready.”
“Aye, I will, and thanks to ye,” Roger bowed slightly, groping for his eighteenth century manners. “I – my name is Roger MacKenzie. Of Kyle of Lochalsh…..”
…“Brian Fraser of Lallybroch, your servant, sir”….

p 179
He picked up the glass again, and took another sip, glancing as casually as he might at Fraser’s face, searching for a resemblance. It was there but subtle, mostly in the cock of the head, the set of the shoulders – and the eyes. The face was quite different, square in the jaw, broader of brow, and Brian Fraser’s eyes were a dark hazel, not blue, but the slanted shape of the, the wide mouth - that was Jamie.

p 183
I can’t stop it, he thought. I can’t tell them what’s coming.

p189
His mouth quirked at the corner, and Roger again felt the tiny plop! of a stone tossed into his depths, the ripples of recognition spreading through him. Jamie did that. Brianna didn’t. Jem did.

p 207-208
Fraser glanced at him again, and something in the man’s face eased at whatever he saw in his own. Brian picked up the bottle and poured another inch into Roger’s glass.
“We’ll find him, man,” he said softly, in Gaelic, before turning to serve Captain Buncombe in turn.”

[> Oooo, Kel, you're a Clever Lass for lining up these different meetings! I hadn't thought about Roger being in and connections in three different time periods. I do enjoy him seeing bits of his own family in Brian. -- DianaH, Fri, November 04 2022, 12:23:11

[> What a great week. I love how you pulled these critical meetings and put them together. I do agree that RR isn’t my Roger, the dark haired pirate at the music festival is ❤️ ) but he does bring him to life. -- Kathy in PA, Sat, November 05 2022, 10:41:05
