Subject: QOTD for Friday, August 11, 2023

The following quotation is from Written In My Heart’s Blood by Diana Gabaldon Copyright 2014 All Rights Reserved. Chapter 69 Sparrow Fart


John would likely assume that Jamie had hit him purely from revulsion at something overtly sexual from John - or from jealousy over me. It was perhaps not quite fair to let him think that but fairness didn’t come into it.

Still, I regretted the trouble between them. Beyond whatever personal awkwardness I found in the present situation, I knew how much John’s friendship had meant to Jamie and vice versa. And while I was more than relieved not to be married to John anymore, I did care for him.

And - while the noise and movement all around urged me to forget everything else but the urgency of departure - I couldn’t forget that this might be the last time I ever saw John, too.

[> This threesome was weird. Not the first time I read it, but reading it now and hearing Claire’s thoughts, bugs me. What did she think he hit him for?!?! She seems cavalier about something that just about shattered a very fragile, but very deep, friendship. -- Kathy in PA, Fri, August 11 2023, 13:47:03

[> [> I don't think Claire knows about the stable conversation between John and Jamie. John knows that one of the blows was from that conversation. -- kgp, Fri, August 11 2023, 15:36:25
