Subject: QOTD for Monday, May 16, 2022 from “Go Tell The Bees That I’m Gone” by Diana Gabaldon


Chapter 4
“The Women will Ha’a Fit”

“Who - “ she began, and then her eyes fell on Brianna, and her mouth dropped open.

“Blessed Bride protect us,” she said mildly, but her eyes were warm, blue, and slanted like Jamie’s, smiling up at Brianna. “The giants have come. And your husband, too, they say, and him even taller than yourself, lass. And ye’ve bairns, too, they say-all of them springing’ up like weeds, I reckon?”

“Toadstools,” Bree said, laughing, and bent down to hug her diminutive aunt. Jenny smelled of goats, fresh wool, porridge, and toasted yeast bread, and a faint scent in her hair and clothes that Bree had long forgotten but recognized instantly as the soap Jenny had made at Lallybroch, with honey and lavender and a Highland herb that had no name in English.

[> [> [> [> She’s definitely one of those people that is sure of her “rightness.” I don’t think there could be a better DIL than Rachel for her. Rachel answers EVERYTHING with such calm collectness. It will be interesting to see if she can temper Jenny. -- Kathy, Tue, May 17 2022, 3:31:55
