Subject: QOTD for August 30, 2022

The following quotation is from Written In my Own Heart’s Blood by Diana Gabaldon. Copyright 2014 All Rights Reserved. Chapter 78 In The Wrong Place At The Wrong Time



Suddenly two more were there, between him and the bridge. Was ist hier los?” he demanded sharply. Was macht Ihr da?” What is this? What are you doing?

A burly fellow pulled an apologetic face.

Verzeihung. Ihr seid hier falsch.”

I’m in the wrong place? Before William could say anything more, they closed on him. He elbowed, punched, kicked, and butted wildly, but it didn’t last more than a few seconds. Hands pulled his arms behind him, and the burly fellow said once more, “Verzeihung,” and, still looking apologetic, bashed him in the head with a rock.

He didn’t lose consciousness altogether until he hit the bottom of the ravine.

[> I had to look up verzeihung and it said, “Excuse me” to get attention or “Forgive me.” It says “looking apologetic” but then why did they try to kill him? Because it was war time? I couldn’t believe William would survive this. -- Kathy in PA, Tue, August 30 2022, 18:24:46
