Subject: QOTD for Sunday, June 5, 2022

The following quotation is from Written In my Own Heart’s Blood by Diana Gabaldon. Copyright 2014 All Rights Reserved. Chapter 57 Do Not Go Gentle Into That Good Night


“It’s a woman in childbed, Denny,” she called. “Three campfires over!”


“Urgent?” Denny at once began unwrapping the pack he had just done up.


“This child says so.” Dottie straightened up and tucked her straggling fair hair back under her cap. “It’s her mother’s fourth; no trouble with the first three, but given the conditions . . . “ She sidled past the baggage to the lowered tailboard, and Ian gave her a hand to hop down.


“She really wanted Mrs. Fraser,” Dottie said to Denny, sotto voce. “But she’ll settle for thee.” She dimpled. “Is thee flattered?”


“I see my reputation spreads like pomade on a silken pillow,” he replied tranquilly. “And thy use of plain speech inflames me. Thee had best come with me. Will thee watch the wagon, Ian?”
