The following quote is from Written in My Own Heart’s Blood by Diana Gabaldon, chapter 21, “Bloody Men.” Copyright ©️2014 by Diana Gabaldon, all rights reserved.

“‘God damn you, sir,’ William whispered, and his eyes were black with violence. ‘God damn you to hell.’ His arm hung limp and must have hurt, but he wouldn’t rub it, not with Jamie watching.
Jamie nodded. ‘Nay doubt,’ he said quietly, and went into the forest. Once out of sight of the road, he leaned against a tree, feeling sweat stream down his face. His back felt cast in cement. His whole body was trembling, but he hoped that William had been too distrait to notice.
God, should it have come to blows, I couldna take him.”

[> That eternal conflict between son and father. Even in the best and most loving relationships it seems this moment of reckoning comes. I’m really looking forward to William getting over being a “bastard” and realizing what a fabulous family he can now be part of. -- Kathy in PA, Sat, September 16 2023, 4:09:55
