Subject: QOTD for Saturday, July 30, 2022

The following quotation is from An Echo In The Bone by Diana Gabaldon. Chapter 31, A Guided Tour Through The Chambers Of The Heart. Copyright 2009. All rights Reserved. "

'Revenge, then, is it?' Stebbings asked after a bit. His restless feet stilled. His dirty stockings drooped and his voice was tired.


Jamie's shoulders moved, slowly, as he sighed, and his own voice was nearly as tired as Stebbing's.'No,' he said, very softly. 'Call it payment of a debt.'

A debt? I thought. To whom? To the Lord Melton who had declined to kill him, out of honor, who had instead sent him home from Culloden, hidden in a wagon filled with hay? To his sister, who had refused to let him die, who had dragged him back to life by sheer strength of will? Or to those who had died

[> I remember this has to do with a ship but couldn’t place it. Got out my copy of Echo to reference and this is a long chapter so I’ll probably be back later. This quote sure ends with mixed emotions for Jamie when he’s reflecting on the past. -- Kathy in PA, Sat, July 30 2022, 9:19:18

[> [> [> It's after one of the three ships they were on was attacked by the other. This part was so confusing I had to read it several times to figure out who was who and which ship was whose. -- kgp, Mon, August 01 2022, 17:55:56
