The following quotation is from Written In my Own Heart’s Blood by Diana Gabaldon. Copyright 2014 All Rights Reserved. Chapter 77 The Price of Burnt Sienna



“Why didn’t you kill them?” he asked Grey abruptly, and jerked his head at the Craddocks. “If you got past them, you could have made it.”

One fair brow arched above the handkerchief binding Grey’s eye.

“You’d forgive me for Claire - but not for killing your . . . men.” He glanced at the two Craddocks, spotty as a pair of raisin puddings and - Grey’s look implied - likely no brighter.

For a split second, the urge to punch him again surged up from Jamie’s bowels, and for the same split second, the knowledge of it showed on John’s Grey’s face. He didn’t flinch, and his good eye widened in a pale-blue stare. This time, he’d fight back.

One minute I’m laughing at “spotty as a pair of raisin puddings - and likely no brighter.” And the next moment my stomach clenches first at the thought of Jamie’s punch and then at John’s stare. “This time. . . . . “ -- Kathy in PA, Sat, August 13 2022, 19:22:20
