The following quotation is from Lord John and the Private Matter by Diana Gabaldon. Copyright 2003 All Rights Reserved Chapter 13 Barber, Barber, Shave A Pig

“Do you get used to it, me lord?” Tom glanced at him, round face troubled in the transient glow.

“To what? Death, do you mean, and bodies?”

“Well . . . that sort of death, I suppose.” The boy made a diffident gesture toward the bundle. “I’d think this was maybe different than what you see in battle - but maybe I’m wrong?”

“Maybe.” Grey slowed his pace to let a group of gay blades pass, laughing as they crossed the street, dodging an oncoming detachment of mounted Horse Guards, harness glittering in the wet.

“I suppose it is no different in the essentials,” he said, stepping out as the sound of hooves clattered off down Piccadilly. “I have seen more dreadful things on a battlefield, often. And yes, you do get used to that - you must.”

[> I really didn’t like this story too much at first. I’m not sure if it was because it was a spinoff and I only wanted more from Diana, I wasn’t in love with Lord John yet 😉, I couldn’t quite grasp the machinations going on, …..……. Although I did learn about asparagus piss! And that I have it. Lol. Those times I wondered if I was getting a UTI but didn’t - NEVER connected it with eating asparagus. Thank you, Karen. for breaking it down into juicy morsels of Tom Byrd, who I love too!! -- Kathy in PA, Sat, March 11 2023, 6:28:14

[> I always have to read the Lord John stories a couple of times to get the plots sorted. -- kgp, Sat, March 11 2023, 10:14:53
