Subject: QOTD for Sunday 16 January 2022

I'm one of those who likes to post the night before, since I am never really up early and like to give all time zones a chance at seeing the quote if they like to when they have breakfast...Cheers! JudithONH

The following quote is from Outlander by Diana Gabaldon, chapter 4, “I Come to the Castle.” Copyright © 1991 by Diana Gabaldon, all rights reserved.
"What exactly is obstruction?" I asked casually. "I must say it doesn't sound a major crime."
He took a deep breath, fixing his eyes resolutely on the carved bedpost as I swabbed deeper.
"Ah. Well, I suppose it's whatever the English say it is. In my case, it meant defending my family and my property, and getting myself half killed in the process." He pressed his lips together, as if to say no more, but after a moment went on, as though seeking to focus his attention on anything other than his shoulder.

[> [> Me too! This is so sad, this time when the British just ran rough shod over the Scots. Jamie’s description of what his crime could encompass reminds me of a line from Gordon Lightfoot’s “Don Quixote” ….”see the man who puts the collar on the ones who dare not tell.” BJR is my ultimate, most hated, vile, piece of shite villain in this whole saga. -- Kathy in PA, Sun, January 16 2022, 14:16:53

[> [> [> Thanks, Kathy in PA...me too...and one of the reasons I can't warm to Tobias...I need to work on forgiveness in my life, but it's hard! -- JudithONH, Sun, January 16 2022, 18:48:09

[> [> [> [> It's only Tobias' incredible talent that saves him for me. It always catches me off-guard to remember that Diana said, more than once, that BJR comes from a piece of her. As to forgiveness... boy oh boy. I work on that daily, almost every day. It'll be a life-long process, some people are easier than others. A few, I haven't made much progress with. -- Betsy BFS, Tue, January 18 2022, 7:12:09
