Sorry I missed yesterday. Holiday Head.

The following quotation is from Written In my Own Heart’s Blood by Diana Gabaldon. Copyright 2014 All Rights Reserved. Chapter 104 The Succubus of Cranesmuir

Geillis Duncan was maybe not a classic beauty, but that didn’t matter. She certainly was good-looking, with creamy-blond hair put up under a lace cap, and - of course - the eyes. Eyes that made him want to close his own and poke Buck in the back to make him do the same, because surely she or McEwan would notice. . . .

McEwan had noticed something, all right, but it wasn’t the eyes. He was eyeing Buck with a small frown of displeasure, as Buck took a long stride forward, seized the woman’s hand, and boldly kissed it.

“Mrs. Duncan,” he said, straightening up and smiling right into those clear green eyes. “Your most humble and obedient servant, ma’am.”

She smiled back, one blond brow raised, with an amused look that met Buck’s implied challenge - and raised it. Even from where he was standing, Roger felt the snap of attraction between them, sharp as a spark of static electricity. So had McEwan.

[> This was so weird. Am I wrong in thinking Buck slept with Geillis? Obviously he doesn’t know she’s his mum, but does she? The Dr. McEwen story is puzzling to me too. I’m so glad he helped Roger but where is he? Thanks for the quotes! -- Kathy in PA, Wed, December 07 2022, 4:09:16

[> [> I don't think he did, but that doesn't mean it wasn't a close call. She initiated it and he stopped when she put his hand in a moist place. -- kgp, Wed, December 07 2022, 7:08:20
