The following quote is from "Written In My Own Heart's Blood" by Diana Gabaldon ch 136 "Unfinished Business" copyright © 2014 by Diana Gabaldon all rights reserved


He stopped as suddenly as he'd started, and the racket ceased.

"Are you SORRY?" He said, and made no effort to keep his voice from shaking. "Are you sorry for it, damn you?"

Fraser had turned away; now he turned sharply to face William but didn't speak at once. When he did, his voice was low and firm.

"She died because of it, and I shall sorrow for her death and do penance for my part in it until my own dying day. But---" He compressed his lips for an instant, and then, too fast for William to back away, came round the table and, raising his hand, cupped William's cheek, the touch light and fierce.

"No," he whispered. "No! I am not sorry." Then he whirled on his heel, threw open the door, and was gone, kilt flying.

[> [> And that in NO way did he put any blame or shame on Geneva. He was able to describe their encounter honestly, which I am sure William will understand as he thinks of it. And still leave William with an acceptable reason for his being. -- Kathy in PA, Fri, January 28 2022, 12:08:06
