Subject: QOTD for July 2, 2023

The following quotation is from Written In my Own Heart’s Blood by Diana Gabaldon. Copyright 2014 All Rights Reserved. Chapter 37 Cognoscote



The healer was a little way down the road; Roger saw the man’s dark figure kneeling in prayer before a tiny shrine, the ends of his cloak fluttering in the wind. Roger came up to him slowly, hanging back so as not to disturb his devotions - and, on impulse, bowed his own head toward the small statue, so weathered as to be faceless. Take care of them, please, he prayed. Help me get back to them - to Bree. That was all he had time for, before the healer rose to his feet - but that was all he had to say, in any case.


The healer hadn’t heard him; he rose and turned, surprised at seeing Roger but recognizing him at once. He smiled, a little wearily, clearly expecting some medical question of a private nature.


Heart thumping, Roger reached out and grasped the healer’s hand. The man’s eyes widened with shock.


”Cognosco te,” Roger said, very softly. I know you.
