The following quotation is from Written In my Own Heart’s Blood by Diana Gabaldon. All Rights Reserved. Copyright 2014. Chapter 110 The Sounds That Make Up Silence

Cranesmuir slept, and mist lay in her streets. The cobbles beneath gleaming with wet in the half-light of a drowning moon. On the far side of the square, though, a light showed in the attic window of Arthur Duncan’s house.

And in the shadow of the square below, a small movement betrayed the presence of a man. Waiting.

Roger closed his eyes, cold rising from his bare feet up his body, seeing in his mind the sudden vision of a green-eyed woman, lazy in the arms of a fair-haired lover . . . and a look of surprise and then horror on her face as the man vanished from her side. And an invisible blue glow rose in her womb.

With his eyes shut tight, he put a hand on the icy windowpane, and said a prayer to be going on with.
