The following quotation is from A Breath of Snow and Ashes by Diana Gabaldon. Copyright 2005 All Rights Reserved. Chapter 114 Amanda


“What’s P-H-A-L-L-U-S?” Jemmy was asking his father.


“Another word for prick,” Roger said briefly. “Don’t bloody use it. Listen - can ye hear anything when ye listen to that stone?” He indicated Jamie’s ring lying on the table. Jem’s face lighted at the sight of it.


“Sure,” he said.


“What, from here?” Brianna said, incredulous. Jem looked around the circle of parents and grandparents, surprised at their interest. “Sure,” he repeated. “It sings.”


“Do ye think wee Mandy can hear it sing, too?” Jamie asked carefully. His heart was beating heavily, afraid to know, either way.


Jemmy picked up the ring and leaned over Mandy’s basket, holding it directly over her face. She kicked energetically and made noises - but whether because of the ring, or merely at the sight of her brother . . .


“She can hear it,” Jem said, smiling into his sister’s face.


“How do you know?” Claire asked, curious. Jem looked up at her, surprised.


“She says so.”

[> It reminds of twins bond. I’ve always been fascinated by that and like how Mandy and Jem can communicate like this, even before she can talk! He is so protective of her already, just like he’s seen the men in his life with their women. -- Kathy in PA, Wed, July 27 2022, 7:55:54

[> Their bond is amazing! This section kind of gave me goosebumps, but in the fascinated way, not creepy. I hope we see more and more of the kids' abilities as they age. -- DianaH, Wed, July 27 2022, 8:50:21
