Subject: QOTD for Monday, May 2, 2022 -- sorry so late

The following quotation is from Written In my Own Heart’s Blood by Diana Gabaldon. Copyright 2014 All Rights Reserved. Chapter 51 Scrounging

He was distracted from his catalog of meager blessings by a small, hungry gulp near his ear. Followed by a young, low voice.

“Mister . . . if ye’re not meanin’ to eat that journeycake yourself . . . “

“What? Oh . . . yes. Of course.”

He struggled to sit up, one hand pressed protectively over his bad eye, and turned his head to see a boy of eleven or twelve sitting on the log just beside him. He has his hand inside his sack, rummaging for the food, when the boy let out a gasp, and he looked up, vision wavering in the firelight, to discover himself face-to-face with Claire’s grandson, fair hair in a tousled halo round his head and a look of horror on his face.
