Subject: QOTD for Monday, September 5, 2022

The following quotation is from Written In my Own Heart’s Blood by Diana Gabaldon. Copyright 2014 All Rights Reserved. Chapter 84 Nightfall


“If you and I have things to say to each other, Willie - and of course we do - let it wait until tomorrow. Please. I’m not , , , “ He made a vague, wavering gesturing gesture that ended nowhere.

The lump in William’s throat was sudden and painful. He nodded, hands clenched tight on the bedding. His father nodded, too, drew a deep breath and turned toward the tent flap - where, William saw, Uncle Hal was hovering, eyes fixed on his brother and brows drawn in worry.

William’s heart seized, in a lump more painful than the one in his throat.

“Papa!” His father stopped abruptly, turning to look over his shoulder.

“I’m glad you’re not dead,” William blurted.

A smile blossomed slowly on his father’s battered face.

“Me, too,” he said.
