Subject: QOTD for Tuesday May 24, 2022 from “Go Tell The Bees That I’m Gone” by Diana Gabaldon


Chapter 131
THUNDERSTORMS ON THE RIDGE


“As I was saying. SIR, I should obey that order promptly. For if you choose to ignore it, the army will have more than sufficient justification to come and burn this house over your head.” He paused, and turned to look deliberately at the door where Fanny had vanished. “Over all your heads.”

Jamie made a quick movement and Ulysses flinched, much to my pleasure. But Jamie had merely snatched the official letter from the desk. He crumpled it into a ball and, turning, hurled it into the hearth. Then turned again on Ulysses, with an expression that made the man stiffen.

He didn’t speak. Ulysses stopped swiftly and plucked the letter out of the smoldering ashes, shook it clean, then turned on his heel and went, back straight as a butler carrying a tray.

[> Did anyone see this coming? I wasn’t totally shocked that Jocasta and he were lovers (Hell hath no fury. . . . and Jocasta had a lot of fury) but I was surprised at this. But as I’m writing this, I think Ulysses probably hated the lot of them. -- Kathy in PA, Tue, May 24 2022, 10:45:37

[> This was totally from left field. I would have thought Ulysses would have gone to Canada. To have him turn up like this was a shock. What a **** he turned out to be. -- kgp, Tue, May 24 2022, 14:59:13
