Subject: QOTD for Thursday, November 10, 2022

The following quotation is from Written In my Own Heart's Blood by Diana Gabaldon. Copyright 2014 All Rights reserved. Chapter 100 Be Those Thy Beasts?

“Can ye hear them?” Buck muttered under his breath, his own eyes fixed on the stones.

“No,” Roger muttered back. “Can you?”

“I hope not.” But Buck shuddered suddenly, as though something had walked across his grave.

“Be those thy Be-asts?” the boy asked, grinning at Roger. He pointed at the stones, explaining - Roger thought - the local legend that the stones were in fact faery cattle, frozen in place when their drover had too much drink betaken and fell into the lake.

“Sooth,” the boy assured them solemnly, making a cross over his heart. “Mester Hacffurthe found es whip!”

[> I’m always in awe how most of our characters keep their wits about them in situations that are very unexpected. Stay calm, don’t blurt out an answer, show confidence, don’t get defensive - you know - mental survival skills. I, on the other hand, am like a deer in the headlights. Wide eyed and frozen. -- Kathy in PA, Sat, November 12 2022, 4:25:14
