Quote of the Day for Friday, 1/27/2023, from Outlander by Diana Gabaldon, Chapter 9, The Gathering. Copyright 1991, all rights reserved.

……The voices of the women picking fruit grew fainter as I worked my way toward the edge of the orchard, stooping or dropping on hands and knees to gather the fragile stalks.

“Those kind are poison,” said a voice from behind me. I straightened up from the patch of Ascaria I had been bending over, thumping my head smartly on a branch of the pine they were growing under.

As my vision cleared, I could see that the peals of laughter were coming from a tall young woman, perhaps a few years older than myself, fair of hair and skin, with the loveliest green eyes I had ever seen.

Quite the innocuous introduction to Geilllis!
