The following quotation is from Written In my Own Heart’s Blood by Diana Gabaldon. All Rights Reserved. Copyright 2014. Chapter 115 The Raveled Sleeve Of Care


I knew better than to try and wake him suddenly. Not in a small space with a lot of clutter and a steep drop ten feet away.

My own heart was pounding, and I knew his ws. I eased myself carefully down beside him, facing his back. I needed to touch him, to bring him slowly to himself - or to enough of himself that he could recover alone. This wasn't the sort of night,are eased by talking. Or, sometimes, even by waking.

“God, no,” he said, in a heartbroken whisper. “God, no!”

I mustn’t grab or shake him. I clenched my teeth and ran my hand lightly from the slope of his shoulder down to his elbow, and his skin shivered like a horse ridding itself of flies. That was all right, then. I did it again, paused, and again. He took a deep, horrible gasp, choked with fear . . . but the violent shivering eased a little.

[> This is one of the quotes that makes BJR the worst monster. We’ve discussed Bonnett vs BJR for many years. Bonnett is evil, no doubt, and doesn’t hide it. BJR “seems” to be a British OFFICER AND GENTLEMAN but he’s not only evil, he enjoys it. The more he breaks his victim the greater his pleasure. I do not have any sympathy for the idea his other brother created that monster. -- Kathy in PA, Sun, January 22 2023, 3:52:26
