Subject: QOTD for Monday, April 3, 2023

The following quotation is from Lord John and the Brotherhood of the Blade by Diana Gabaldon. Copyright 2007 All Rights Reserved. Chapter 27 The Honorable Thing


“You do this,” he went on, voice trembling, “you not only destroy yourself, you embroil us all - “

“All. You and your bloody brother and your goddamned family honor, you mean - “

“Yes, our goddamned family honor! And the honor of the regiment - of which you are a sworn officer, I remind you. How dare you utter the word honor? Yet you do dare - and presume further to demand that I not only perform some miracle to save your life, but to save you from all consequences of your folly?”

The pistol lay on the bench before him, loaded and primed, requiring only to be cocked. For one instant, he thought how simple it would be to pick it up, cock it, and shoot Percy between the eyes. No questions would be asked.
