Subject: QOTD for Wednesday, 01/25/2023

Quote of the Day for Wednesday, 01/25/2023 is from Outlander by Diana Gabaldon, Chapter, 4, I Come to the Castle. Copright 1991. All rights reserved.

The rest of us dismounted and stood steaming in the wet courtyard for another ten minutes before Mrs. Fitz, whoever she might be, consented to show herself. A cluster of curious children gathered around us, speculating on my possible origins and function. The bolder ones had just begun to get up enough courage to pluck at my skirt when a large, stout lady in dark brown linen and homespun bustled out and shooed them away.
. . . . . .
Mistress FitzGibbons closed her mouth and looked me up and down with an air of shrewd evaluation. Apparently she decided that I looked harmless enough, despite my odd and scandalous appearance, for she smiled—kindly, despite several missing teeth---and took me by the arm.

[> Janet, this is a blast. Isn’t it amazing that after all these years we can revisit each meeting with such enjoyment (except BJR of course); the books never get old. -- Kathy in PA, Thu, January 26 2023, 4:26:06
