Subject: QOTD for Tuesday, April 19, 2022

The following quotation is from Voyager by Diana Gabaldon. Copyright 1994 All Rights Reserved. Chapter 15 By Misadventure


The undivided attention of her audience thus obtained, the cook allowed herself to be persuaded into imparting the gossip with no more than a token demur.

“Well, it started some months ago, when the Lady Geneva started to show, poor thing. His Lordship’d been nicer than pie to ‘er, ever since they was married couldn’t do enough for ‘er, anything she wanted ordered from Lunnon, always askin’ was she warm enough, ‘ad she what she wanted to eat - fair dotin’, is Lordship was. But then, when ‘e found she was with child!” The cook paused, to screw up her face portentously.

Jamie wanted desperately to know about the child; what it was, and how did it fair? There seemed no way to hurry the woman, though, so he composed his face to look as interested as possible, leaning forward encouragingly.

[> Isn’t it sad that she wasn’t smart/cunning enough to do it at least once with the old fart? Still too young and proud to use his vanity against him. I don’t like how she forced Jamie, but I did feel sorry for her. -- Kathy in PA, Tue, April 19 2022, 8:01:19

[> [> [> Yeah, but if she had even a little guile she could have wriggled around a little and exclaimed a bit and - boom 💥 - Bob’s Your Uncle! He could have bragged to his valet. LOL -- Kathy in PA, Tue, April 19 2022, 14:00:14

[> [> [> [> He could tell anyone anything but if he could not do the dead then HE would know it's not his. And it came down to pride to be sure. But not for bragging rights but for the fact that he would not be cockled (sp ??) without gitting revenge. -- JamesG, Wed, April 20 2022, 6:41:45
