The following quotation is from Written In my Own Heart’s Blood by Diana Gabaldon. All Rights Reserved. Copyright 2014. Chapter 113 Thanks For All The Fish


“D’ye think our wee Quaker lass is wi’ child yet?” she murmured to me. Rachel was across the room, chatting with the younger children and very easy with them - though her eyes kept turning to Ian, who was looking at something Fergus had taken out of a drawer in the sideboard.

“They’ve been married barely a month,” I whispered back, though I looked carefully at Rachel.

“It doesna take that long,” Jenny said. “And plainly the lad kens his job. Look at her.” Her shoulders quivered slightly with a suppressed laugh.

“A fine thing for a mother to be thinking about her son,” I said under my breath, though I could not keep the amusement out of my own voice nor day she was wrong.

[> Great quote! This time when I read it, Jenny’s comment “the lad kens his job” struck me . Today I realized it’s because she saw Rachel’s eyes keep following him. Diana’s subtle writing and our discussions of it over the years, really has me impatient and not reading a lot of other authors. -- Kathy in PA, Fri, January 20 2023, 4:24:15

[> [> I understand. Bad writing makes me crazy - I have no patience for it. I had to read Bridgerton for a book club and wanted to scream. -- kgp, Fri, January 20 2023, 10:37:34
