The following quote is from The Fiery Cross by Diana Gabaldon, chapter 98, “Clever Lad.” Copyright ©️2001 by Diana Gabaldon, all rights reserved.

“‘She let go my hand,’ he said. The words came more easily now; the tightness in his throat and chest was gone. ‘She let go my hand … and then she picked me up. That small woman—she picked me up, and threw me over the wall. Down into the crowd of people on the platform below. I was knocked mostly out by the fall, I think—but I remember the roar as the roof went. No one on the stair survived.’”

[> Agreed, kgp. And then when we hear the rest of the story from Jerry, it's heart rending all over again. -- DianaH, Thu, May 18 2023, 9:57:33
