The following Quote of the Day is taken from An Echo in the Bone, Chapter 67 Greasier than Grease by Diana Gabaldon. Copyright 2009, All Rights Reserved.

Rachel stood stock still for a minute, listening to the pounding of her heart. Another regular sound began to intrude, a soft lapping noise, and she looked down, blinking, to see Rollo had tidily polished off the last of the goose grease for the tin she had dropped and was now licking the empty tin.

“Oh, Lord,” she said, and put a hand over her mouth, afraid that if she laughed, it would erupt into hysterics. The dog looked up at her, his eyes yellow in the candlelight. He licked his lips, long tail wagging.

“What am I to do?” she asked him. “Well enough for thee; thee can chase aabout after him all day, and share his bed at night, and not a word said.”

Her realization that she is in love with Ian and all that entails is both funny and moving.

[> Yes. In my mind sometimes I think, what would Rachel do? She’s so kind but fierce and sees the good in everyone. -- Kathy in PA, Sat, July 29 2023, 3:07:34
