The following quotation is from Written In my Own Heart’s Blood by Diana Gabaldon. All Rights Reserved. Copyright 2014. Chapter 114 Belief Is A Wise Wager


“A child? Ben has a baby?”

“Well, the woman who claims to be his wife has a son, or so she says - and she did say that Ben is the father of her offspring.” Seeing that there was little alternative, he apprised her of the letter from Amaranthus Cowden that Hal had received in Philadelphia, and its contents.

“Now, as Ben didn’t happen to mention this woman to Hal, one of the duties I’m to carry out for your father is the determination as to whether she’s telling the truth. And if she is, then of course I will bring her back with me, and the family will take care of her and the child.”

“What if she’s not telling the truth?” Dottie’s distress was rapidly being subsumed by a combination of hope and curiosity.

“God knows.” Grey said frankly. “Would you like to go and ask Marks to see about breakfast for us, Dottie? I may be out of bed, but I’m in no way equipped to conduct hypothetical conversations before I’ve had a cup of tea.”

[> I’m just not invested in the Ben/Amaranth story yet. Just starting to warm to William but then he seems to possibly be getting involved in that too! -- Kathy in PA, Fri, January 20 2023, 11:40:42

[> [> I agree. It's interesting in that Ben turned his coat, son against father, but her? not feeling it. What happened to the woman who was keeping her locked up? Why? WTH was that about? -- kgp, Sat, January 21 2023, 7:47:23

[> [> [> I forget about him turning coat and I think that will be a big part of the next book. I really want the Greys to become Americans. -- Kathy in PA, Sun, January 22 2023, 12:23:43
