Subject: QOTD for Sunday, September 25, 2022

The following quote is from Drums of Autumn by Diana Gabaldon, Chapter 19, Hearth Blessing, Copyright 1997, all rights reserved.

Just opened a book to a random page....jumping in to provide a quote.

We had virtually nothing with us in the way of tools or supplies, save a felling ax, a couple of knives, a camp kettle and girdle, and my smaller medicine box. What is something happened, if Ian or Jamie fell ill or was hurt in an accident? If we starved or froze? And while Jamie was sure that our Indian acquaintances had no objection to our intent, I wasn't so sanguine about any others who might happen along.

Yes, I bloody well would be afraid. On the other hand, I'd lived long enough to realize that fear wasn't usually fatal--or at least not by itself. Add in the odd bear or savage, and I wasn't saying, mind.

[> "Fear wasn't usually fatal," good point. However, with so few supplies to hand, and so many things that could happen, is certainly NOT for the faint of heart! -- DianaH, Wed, September 28 2022, 7:51:08
