HAPPY OUTLANDER DAY!!! The first book was published on this day in 1991.

QOTD for Thursday, June 1, 2023

So, after I posted yesterday, I found this little nugget, to answer kgp’s post from the May 30

“To Miss Frances Pocock
From Mr. William Ransom

Dear Frances,

I write to enquire after your health and well-being. I hope you are happy in your present situation and beginning to fee settled.
Please give my earnest thanks to Mr. and Mrs. Fraser for their generosity.
I am all right, though very much occupied at the moment. I will write again when the opportunity of a messenger offers.
Your most humble and obedient servant, William Ransom”

“Wil-yum,” she murmured to herself, her finger touching the letters of his name. Her face had changed in an instant; it glowed with a sort of awed happiness.

Jamie moved slightly, beside me, and I glanced up at him. His eyes were warm with firelight, reflecting Fanny’s glow.

Not much of a letter, but it obviously means the world to Frances and Jamie.

[> Things are so different now. Fanny savoring the touch of the letter and Jamie’s inner glow - were so used to instant gratification- it’s nice to think about slower times. -- Kathy in PA, Thu, June 01 2023, 14:13:18
