Subject: QOTD for Wednesday May 18, 2022 from “Go Tell The Bees That I’m Gone” by Diana Gabaldon



Chapter 37
Maneuvers Beginning With The Letter “V”


“Ye want to know what’s wrong wi’ me?” he asked at last. His voice was pitched low, but it wasn’t calm. He straightened up, looming in the moonlight.

“I swear to myself I will put . . . .this . . . .thing . . . .out o’ my head, and mostly I manage. But then that sodomite sends me a letter, out o’ the blue - just as though it never happened! And it’s all back again.” His voice shook and he stopped for a second, shaking his head violently, as though to clear it.

“And when I think of it, and then I see you . . . I want to have ye, then and there. Ye rouse me, whether ye’re slicing cucumbers or bathing naked in the creek wi’ your hair loose. I want ye bad, Sassenach. But HE’s there in my head, and if-if—“. Lost for words, he smashed a fist down on the fence rail and I felt the wood tremble by my shoulder.

“If I canna stand the notion that you and he were fucking me behind my back, how do ye think I can stand it to think that you and I are sharing a bed wi’ HIM in it?”


I started trying to find a quote for our old tradition of Hump Day Wednesday. When I came across this I realized it was about sex but, in true Diana fashion, it was real. Love, hate and jealousy - such a mix of emotions to make sense of.

[> Such a complicated triangle. Interesting, though, that Jamie didn't really go off about King Louis or Frank, but John brings this out in him. -- kgp, Wed, May 18 2022, 11:18:38

[> [> Kathy in PA, you bring up a good point! I wonder if it's because he likes/loves and respects John, considers him a true friend, so this "betrayal" strikes more to his heart than the King or Frank, who he didn't really know. Much worse to be cuckold by a friend than a stranger? -- DianaH, Wed, May 18 2022, 12:08:33

[> [> [> And the mixed emotions of really liking John in spite of all the logical reasons he shouldn’t. Also because she was drunk and chose it. In spite of the awfulness of him saying it, Jamie DOES know alcohol loosens her inhibitions. -- Kathy in PA, Wed, May 18 2022, 13:02:38

[> [> [> [> And that they were both 'f***ing him'. He's known of John's attraction for a very long time. Now that he's bedded Claire he has a very real notion of what Jamie is like in bed. John is a 'beast' according to Percy. Claire is also uninhibited when drunk. -- kgp, Wed, May 18 2022, 16:54:35
