The following quotation is from Written In my Own Heart’s Blood by Diana Gabaldon. Copyright 2014 All Rights Reserved. Chapter 60 Quakers and Quartermasters


“Dear Lord,” Greene said, wrinkling his nose at the dog’s reek.

“Aye, well,” Jamie said, resigned. “My wife says ye get used to any sort of smell after a bit of smelling it. And I suppose she’d know.”

“Why, is she a cook?”

“Och, no. A physician. Gangrene, ken, festering bowels and the like.”

Greene blinked.

“I see. You have a most interesting family, Mr. Fraser.” He coughed and looked after Ian, rapidly vanishing in the distance. “You might be wrong about him never becoming a Quaker. At least he doesn’t bow his head to a title.”

[> Oh the smells of the medical profession, thank goodness I learned how to close off my sinuses to smell at a young age. My own family has been called "interesting" many times, we are an eclectic bunch. -- Cait, Wed, June 08 2022, 6:51:00

[> [> I think we could answer to that as well. Lol. And isn’t it a lovely way of putting it? I do like that he recognizes Ian’s core. I am very sensitive to smells and recognize Diana’s use of them all through the books. It puts me right there. Smells and old music are my trigger memory things. -- Kathy in PA, Thu, June 09 2022, 4:01:04
