Subject: QOTD for Tuesday, April 4, 2023

The following quotation is from An Echo In The Bone by Diana Gabaldon. Copyright 2009 All Rights Reserved. Chapter 58 Independence Day


"I am looking for a printer named Fergus Fraser.” Grey blinked at that; he hadn’t been expecting a concrete answer.

“Who is . . . ?”

Percy held up a hand, folding down the fingers as he spoke.

“He is, first, the son of one James Fraser, a notable ex-Jacobite and current rebel. He is, secondly, a printer, as indicated - and, I suspect, a rebel like his father. And, thirdly, I strongly suspect that he is the son of Amelie Beauchamp.”

There were red and blue dragonflies hovering over the creek; Grey felt as though one of these insects had flown suddenly up his nose.

“You are telling me that James Fraser had an illegitimate son by a French whore? Who happened also to be the daughter of an ancient noble family?” Shock didn’t begin to describe his feelings, but he kept his tone light, and Percy laughed.
