Subject: QOTD for Saturday, March 18, 2023

The following quote is from Voyager by Diana Gabaldon, chapter 11, “The Torremolinos Gambit.” Copyright 1994 by Diana Gabaldon, all rights reserved.

“The bishop made a soft thump as he set the felted base down with precision. Without stopping, his hand rose, as though it moved without his volition. The hand traveled the short distance through the air, looking as though it knew precisely what it wanted, and set itself on Fraser’s, palm tingling, curved fingers gently imploring.
The hand under his was warm—so warm—but hard, and motionless as marble. Nothing moved on the table but the shimmer of the flame in the heart of the sherry. He lifted his eyes then, to meet Fraser’s.
‘Take your hand off me,’ Fraser said, very, very softly. ‘Or I will kill you.’”

[> Thank you for the slow walk through this evening. It seemed so good - Jamie AND John in this horrible place - recognizing a smart, compassionate person just to have a decent conversation, let alone a good meal and game of chess. But John was still too young; he didn’t read people right all the time yet. So this lovely interlude ended in disaster. I’m SO glad this wasn’t the end of their story. -- Kathy in PA, Sat, March 18 2023, 3:52:07

[> Do you think if Jamie hadn't been through hell at Wentworth he would have had a less vehement reaction? Not that he'd have a physical relationship with John, but would it have left their regard better intact? -- kgp, Sat, March 18 2023, 12:58:45

[> [> Definitely. He knew about homosexuality, didn’t condone it, would probably still have been repulsed - but I don’t think it would affect him the way it did. -- Kathy in PA, Sat, March 18 2023, 13:57:37

[> Cindy, thank you so much for still posting QOTD as you prepare for a massive move. “Discombobulated” is almost too mild!! I’m so happy for you to be able to make this move to be near your son😊❤️ -- Kathy in PA, Sun, March 19 2023, 3:28:35
