Subject: QOTD for Tuesday, May 3, 2022

The following quotation is from Written In my Own Heart’s Blood by Diana Gabaldon. Copyright 2014 All Rights Reserved. Chapter 52 Morphia Dreams


“Just trying to decide whether being accidentally disemboweled would be worse than sleeping in my stays,” I whispered, cupping his head. It was warm, the soft hair at his nape damp to the touch.

“My aim’s not that bad, Sassenach,” he said, pausing in his labors for an instant. “I’d only risk stabbin’ ye in the heart.”

As it was, he accomplished his goal without recourse to weapons, gently jerking the know loose with his teeth until he could finish the job with his fingers, opening the heavy seamed canvas stays like a clamshell to expose the whiteness of my shift. I sighed like a grateful mollusk opening at high tide, plucking the fabric out of the creases the stays had made in my flesh. Jamie stayed where he was, his face near my breasts, rubbing his hands gently over my sides.

[> [> Diana, we must be “sisters from another mother”, I agree with you so often! That’s exactly what I thought about too. Stays must have been horrible. Today for the first time this season I actually broke a sweat walking the dog. Reading this and imagining sweating through stays, ugh. -- Kathy in PA, Tue, May 03 2022, 19:47:07
