Subject: QOTD for Saturday, May 7, 2022

The following quotation is from Written In my Own Heart’s Blood by Diana Gabaldon. Copyright 2014 All Rights Reserved. Chapter 56 Stinking Papist


”You are a stinking Papist, and your baptismal name is James.” He froze as though shot in the back. He bloody remembered it. The stables at Helwater, the warm smell of horses and mash, and the prickle of straw that worked its way through stockings. Cold stone floors. He’s been crying . . . Why? All he recalled was a huge wash of desolation, total helplessness. The end of the world. Mac leaving.

He took a long, slow breath and pressed his lips together. Mac. The word didn’t bring a face; he couldn’t remember what Mac had looked like. He’s been big, that was all. Bigger than Grandfather or any of teh footmen or the other grooms. Safety. A sense of constant happiness like a soft, worn blanket.

“Shit,” he whispered, closing his eyes.

[> I’m going to be so happy when William and Jamie bond. And then all of them as family or family by choice. There are so many interconnections already that will be redefined. Ian and William 😏 for a big one. William is going to learn to redefine “pride” I think. -- Kathy in PA, Sat, May 07 2022, 6:22:22

[> Did everybody see the actor for William? Charles Vandervaart - not sure how to post pic, but Doug said “I wonder how long it will take for them to start calling him Vanderfart”. Lol -- Kathy in PA, Sat, May 07 2022, 6:28:01
