Quote of the Day for Saturday, January 28, 2023 from Outlander by Diana Gabaldon, Chapter 26, The Laird’s Return. Copyright 1991, all rights reserved.

She was smaller than I had expected. With a brother like Jamie, I had imagined her at least my height, or even taller, but the woman by the fire barely reached five feet. Her back was to us as she reached for something on the shelf of the china cabinet, and the ends of her dress sash dipped close to the floor.
Jamie froze when he saw her.
“Jenny,” he said.
…….
The faces were much alike; the same oddly slanted dark blue eyes and broad cheekbones. The same thin, blade-bridged nose, just a trifle too long. But she was dark where Jamie was fair, with cascades of black curly hair, bound back with green ribbon.
She was beautiful, with clear-drawn features and alabaster skin. She was also clearly in a state of advanced pregnancy.

I hope you’ve enjoyed these introductions!

[> I’ve loved them, thank you ❤️. Jenny, sometimes I’ve loved her, sometimes I’ve hated her but I’ve always admired her backbone. I was thrilled when she came to the ridge. Looking forward to the ongoing relationship with Rachel, who has just as much backbone but presents so differently. Her quiet grace and strength are so impressive. -- Kathy in PA, Sat, January 28 2023, 5:13:11

[> I've always been a Jenny fan, though I really disliked when she brought Laoghaire down to Lallybroch when Jamie and Claire returned in Voyager. I, too, like having her on the Ridge. It adds to the storyline in a way I enjoy. -- DianaH, Mon, January 30 2023, 7:49:14

[> I really enjoyed the introductions as well! It's fun seeing them as introduced, then getting to know them, and finding who they really are! -- Kel, Thu, February 02 2023, 12:23:55
