The following quote is from 'The Fiery Cross,' by Diana Gabaldon, chapter 2, "Loaves and Fishes." Copyright © 2001, by Diana Gabaldon. All rights reserved.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Gern geschehen," he said. "Euer ergebener Diener, Frau Ute."

She beamed at him, composure restored, as he turned to say something in parting to Rob.

"Such a fine, big Mann," she murmured, shaking her head slightly as she looked him up and down. Then she turned, caught my glance from Jamie to Rob-- for as the gunsmith was a handsome man, with close-clipped, dark curly hair and a chiseled face, he was also fine-boned as a sparrow, and some inches shorter than his wife, reaching approximately to the level of her brawny shoulder. I couldn't help wondering, given her apparent admiration of large men...

"Oh, vell," she said, and shrugged apologizingly. "Luff, you know." She sounded as though love were an unfortunate but unavoidable condition.

I glanced at Jamie, who was carefully swaddling his sausage before tucking it back into his sporran. "Well, yes," I said. "I do."

[> Hi Betsy! I haven’t been here in a week, I’m answering for three days…. I so agree with your Sunday thoughts and can’t wait to hear what grandson did. I’m sorry about your friend, did that happen when she was young. Ute was sure a force, wasn’t she? I’m glad Lizzie didn’t end up with them. Diana, you cracked me up because my mind went right there too when Jamie talked about swaddling a sausage. -- Kathy in PA, Wed, October 26 2022, 9:59:16
