Subject: QOTD for Sunday, October 2, 2022

The following quotation is from Written In my Own Heart’s Blood by Diana Gabaldon. Copyright 2014 All Rights Reserved. Chapter 89

“Bloody hell,” he said, too hot and tired even to make it an exclamation. “Colenso, you left-handed little bugger,” And barely containing his exasperation - with himself as much as with his groom - he set off grimly to find Colenso Baragwanath.

Because Colenso was a left-handed little bugger. William had noticed that immediately, as he suffered from the same affliction himself. Unlike Colenso, though, William could tell the difference between his right hand and his left - and had a sense of direction. Colenso . . . didn’t, and William wanted to kick himself for not remembering that.

“You bloody idiot,” he muttered, wiping a sleeve across his sweating, dusty face. “Why didn’t you think of that?”

[> Poor William. He reacts too quickly sometimes. It still strikes me as odd when they refer to left handedness as a bad thing. It’s intriguing to me who is left handed. -- Kathy in PA, Mon, October 03 2022, 13:50:03
