The following quote is from "Written In My Own Heart's Blood" by Diana Gabaldon ch 62 "The Mule Dislikes You" copyright © 2014 by Diana Gabaldon all rights reserved


"Madame Fraser," he said, and bowed. "Are you in need of some assistance?"

Yes, I bloody did need assistance; I couldn't drag my surgical repairs out much longer. I darted a look at my massive patient, wondering whether he had any French.

Apparently my face was just as transparent as Jamie had always told me it was; Percy smiled at me and said conversationally in French, "I don't think this clot of decaying menstrual blood is capable of understanding more English then it takes to hire the sort of poxed and imbecile whore who would let him touch her, let alone understand the tongue of angels."

The teamster went on muttering , "Shit-fire, Shit-fire, fucking shit-ass fucking-ass mule, that gaddamn HURTS..."

I relaxed a little and replied in French. "Yes, I need help---with the utmost urgency. My grandson is trying to steal the mule this oaf stole from him. Can you retrieve him from the teamsters' camp before someone notices?"

"A votre service, Madame," he replied promptly, and, clicking his heels smartly together, bowed and went off.

[> Well no matter what you think of Percy, he does know how to insult someone. 😂😂..... And Kathy in PA. To answer your question. I got a call saying Bees was in one afternoon and had to tell them it would be the day after tomorrow before I could get to the library to git it. They said they would hold it for me. Next day I finished Moby and the next day picked up and started Bees. -- JamesG, Fri, January 28 2022, 20:28:41

[> Hi James, enjoy the read! Are you savoring or tearing through? This is one part where I really liked Percy and there’s not many. We escaped the snow in NE PA but it’s 8 degrees on our deck and very, very windy. I just keep putting out bird seed. We feed from the deck and rails because bears take our feeders. -- Kathy in PA, Sat, January 29 2022, 9:14:48

[> [> Hope they don't take out your deck. 😄😄 Speaking of "Bear" mine is laying on my chest right now. My oldest Tom Cat. Big and all black. He has a step brother named Snowball who is all white w/ some pink tinge on his ears, forehead and tail. Stay warm. -- JamesG, Sat, January 29 2022, 10:28:48

[> I go back and forth on Percy. He's a weak man but I think he wants to be like John. He just can't stick with it. -- kgp, Sat, January 29 2022, 10:06:48

[> [> That’s it, he is a weak man. Especially compared to his stepbrothers. I’m sure his upbringing contributed to his learning of switching sides to save his hide. Sad. -- Kathy in PA, Sun, January 30 2022, 10:59:44
