The following quotation is from Written In my Own Heart’s Blood by Diana Gabaldon. Copyright 2014 All Rights Reserved. Chapter 79 High Noon

“Are ye bad hurt, a bhalaich?” Jamie asked, stepping back and looking for blood. There was some, but nothing dreadful. The lad wasn’t clutching himself as though wounded in the vitals . . .

“No. No, it’s - “ Ian worked his mouth, trying to get up the spit to make words, and Jamie thrust his canteen into Ian’s hand. There was pitifully little water left in it, but some, enough, and Ian gulped it.

“William,” Ian gasped, lowering the empty canteen. “Your - “

“What about him?” Jamie interrupted. There were more men coming down the road, some of them half-running looking back. ”What?” he repeated, grasping Ian’s arm.

[> Cue “The Flight of the Valkyrie’s” and Ian to the rescue - again. Without even meaning to, in my opinion, Ian keeps coming out the better man in encounters with William. -- Kathy in PA, Thu, September 01 2022, 2:51:49

[> [> He's a bit older and vastly more experienced. William was 12 when John brought him to the Ridge, Ian was 16 or 17? Had been kidnapped, molested, rescued, sprayed by skunk, traveled with whatshisname and the slave woman to the Indian village, farmed, hunted, and been coached by Jamie and Claire. Shoot! names are escaping me. Tall mountain man with a mended hernia and a very round slave woman accused of aborting a fetus. -- kgp, Thu, September 01 2022, 9:33:30

[> [> [> John Quincy Meyers? Yes, Ian has led quite a life for such a young man! -- DianaH, Thu, September 01 2022, 11:05:43

[> [> [> [> It’s true, William was much more sheltered than Ian. I just wonder what will make William accept and be glad that he has Fraser blood like Ian. -- Kathy in PA, Thu, September 01 2022, 18:22:13
