Subject: QOTD for Wednesday, May 3, 2023

The following quotation is from Go Tell The Bees That I Am Gone by Diana Gabaldon. Copyright 2021 All Rights Reserved. Chapter 46 By The Dawn’s Early Light

“Well,” she said, as reasonably as though she were describing the eating habits of a firefly, “it’s quite simple. You can’t renounce your title, but you could hand it on. Abdicate in favot of you heir, I mean.”

“I haven’t an heir. Are you suggesting - “

“Yes, exactly.” She nodded approvingly at him. “You marry me and as soon as I have a son, you can give him your title, and either retire into private life and breed dachshunds or perhaps to commit suicide and go off to become anyone you like.”

“Leaving you - “

“Leaving me as the dowager countess of whatever your estate is called, I forget. That might be slightly better that being the Duke of Pardloe’s penurious daughter-in-law, mightn’t it?”

[> I just have never liked this whole theme...I know it's set up for other things to come, but it just seems a little contrived to me. Almost too coincidental and illogical (but then again, time travel is logical?) -- Janet, Wed, May 03 2023, 11:20:47

[> Yes, all of it is off. I still haven’t totally warmed to William either so to me, this is a lot of unnecessary BS for Lord John. Who I love and the last time we saw him he is in peril. So to heck with Amaranthus!! Thanks for picking a great topic, Karen. Lol. Does anyone feel sorry for her? -- Kathy in PA, Wed, May 03 2023, 14:52:09

[> I can't figure out how she got from Philadelphia to being a hostage locked in a room. It's kind of fun to have an unsympathetic female again. Since Leghair got sorted Amaranthus is kind of fun to pick at. -- Kgp, Wed, May 03 2023, 16:25:06
