The following quotation is from Written In my Own Heartā€™s Blood by Diana Gabaldon. All Rights Reserved. Copyright 2014. Chapter 115 The Raveled Sleeve Of Care


I knew better than to try and wake him suddenly. Not in a small space with a lot of clutter and a steep drop ten feet away.

My own heart was pounding, and I knew his ws. I eased myself carefully down beside him, facing his back. I needed to touch him, to bring him slowly to himself - or to enough of himself that he could recover alone. This wasn't the sort of night,are eased by talking. Or, sometimes, even by waking.

ā€œGod, no,ā€ he said, in a heartbroken whisper. ā€œGod, no!ā€

I mustnā€™t grab or shake him. I clenched my teeth and ran my hand lightly from the slope of his shoulder down to his elbow, and his skin shivered like a horse ridding itself of flies. That was all right, then. I did it again, paused, and again. He took a deep, horrible gasp, choked with fear . . . but the violent shivering eased a little.

[> This is one of the quotes that makes BJR the worst monster. Weā€™ve discussed Bonnett vs BJR for many years. Bonnett is evil, no doubt, and doesnā€™t hide it. BJR ā€œseemsā€ to be a British OFFICER AND GENTLEMAN but heā€™s not only evil, he enjoys it. The more he breaks his victim the greater his pleasure. I do not have any sympathy for the idea his other brother created that monster. -- Kathy in PA, Sun, January 22 2023, 3:52:26
