Subject: QOTD for Thursday, 11/24/2022

Quote of the Day for Thursday, November 24, 2022. Drums of Autumn, Chapter 12, The Return of John Quincy Myers, by Diana Gabaldon, Copyright 1997. All Rights Reserved.

Posting early. Thursday, November 24l, 2022, is the US Thanksgiving Day, and I may be too busy to post. I tried to find a suitable "feast" quote describing the food, but I was having trouble. Then I found this and just got a smile on my face, and I couldn't resist!!!

I had operated under odd conditions before, I thought, rinsing my hands hastily in vinegar brought from the kitchen, but none odder than this.

Relieved of his nether garb, Myers lay tastefully displayed on the mahogany table, boneless as a roasted pheasant, and nearly as ornamental. In lieu of platter, he lay upon a stable blanket, a gaudy centerpiece in his quilled shirt and bear's claw necklace, surrounded by a garnish of bottles, rags, and bandages.

Hope my American friends have a great Thanksgiving, and my friends around the world have a great day. I am thankful for this community!

[> Me too, Janet. I don’t always get here on the right day but I never miss a QOTD and am so grateful for the other parts like the card and ornament exchange and the angels. As soon as I started to read your quote I smiled because Diana painted such a hilarious scene and made it seem perfectly normal for Claire to carry on, as she always does. Lol. It also reminded me of Jamie’s quote about Claire that makes men drop the drawers within minutes of meeting her when John Quincy eagerly showed her his hernia. -- Kathy in PA, Fri, November 25 2022, 3:52:09
