The following quotation is from Written In my Own Heart’s Blood by Diana Gabaldon. Copyright 2014 All Rights Reserved. Chapter 105 No A Very Good Person


“It’s not that,” Roger said, clearing his throat. “It’s only - I can’t leave while Jem might be here. Not when I don’t know for sure that I could come back if I left and he . . . wasn’t at the other end.” He made a helpless gesture. :Go, and know I was maybe abandoning him forever?”

Buck nodded, looking down. Roger saw the man’s throat move, too, and was struck by a pang of realization.

“Your Jem,” Roger said softly. “You do know where he is, at least. When, I mean." The question was clear: if Buck was willing to risk the stones again, why would he not do it in search of his own family, rather than to carry a message to Bree?

“Ye’re all mine, aren’t ye?” Buck said gruffly. “My blood. My . . . sons.”

[> It’s amazing how Diana can show utterly impossible relations develop. Buck got Roger hanged! And they’ve become allies! This implausible turn of events is totally believable and totally heart rending. Taking Buck out of my 21st C mindset, he was a good guy, not a jealous angry man. -- Kathy in PA, Fri, December 09 2022, 4:03:09
