Quote of the day for Monday, January 23, 2023 is taken from Outlander by Diana Gabaldon, Chapter 3, The Man in the Wood, Copyright 1991. All rights reserved.

We meet Murtagh:

I found myself staring into a pair of sharp black eyes. The sinewy hand that had temporarily distracted the Captain’s unwelcome attentions was attached like a limpet to my to my forearm.

“And who the hell are you? “ I said in astonishment. My rescuer, if I cared to call him that, was some inches shorter than I and sparely built, but the bare arms protruding from the ragged shirt were knotted with muscle and his whole frame gave the impression of being made of some resilient material such as bedsprings. No beauty, either, with a pockmarked skin, low brow, and narrow jaw.

[> This is my Murtagh, not the geriatric cover boy they had on the show. I was disappointed they let him live after season 2. -- kgp, Tue, January 24 2023, 8:16:48

[> [> Me too. I can’t remember the actor, but he was on Hill St Blues and looked like a grizzled little monkey, and he’s always been my Murtaugh. I’ve always loved Murtaugh and think we all need one. 😉 -- Kathy in PA, Tue, January 24 2023, 13:50:49

[> [> [> Bruce Weitz - Mick Belker? He often played an undercover cop who looked like he had just crawled out of an alley. I could see him as Murtagh! -- DianaH, Wed, January 25 2023, 14:02:56
