The following quote is from "Written In My Own Heart's Blood" by Diana Gabaldon ch 128 "Gigging Frogs" copyright © 2014 by Diana Gabaldon all rights reserved


"This man Richardson may simply have changed his allegiance," Rachel suggested. "I know of many who have, over the last two years."

"He might," I said slowly, "but the thing is---John thought he was an intelligencer---a spy or secret agent of some sort. And when someone of that stripe turns his coat...you have to ask whether he's turned it once or twice. Or not at all. Don't you?"

Jamie laid a hand on the table, thinking.

"Aye, well," he said at last, and, sitting up straight, stretched himself with a sigh. "If there's aught fishy about the man, we'll ken it soon enough."

"We will?" I asked. He gave me a wry smile.

"Aye, Sassenach. He'll come looking for you. Keep your wee knife close to hand, aye?"

Whoa……. Talk about foreshadowing. Never, ever did I see that coming. I still won’t print details just in case, but if you’re done reading you know what I mean.

[> I do agree with Claire's questioning of Richardson's loyalties, wondering how do you know how many times a turncoat has actually turned, especially if he's suspected of being a "funny bugger," as Frank would have said. -- DianaH, Tue, January 25 2022, 7:18:02

[> [> Diana’s descriptions of him always did leave me feeling yucky. Like I had to wash my hands - the worst kind of “funny bugger.” -- Kathy in PA, Tue, January 25 2022, 7:48:07
