Subject: QOTD for Sunday, Jan 30, 2022. The following is from "The Space Between" written by Diana Gabaldon All Rights Reserved


Paris, March 1778

He still didn’t know why the frog hadn’t killed him. Paul Rakoczy, Comte St. Germain, picked up the vial, pulled the cork, and sniffed cautiously, for the third time, but then recorked it, still dissatisfied. Maybe. Maybe not. The scent of the dark-gray powder in the vial held the ghost of something familiar—but it had been thirty years.

[> At first I thought he was remembering the king’s chamber with Claire, but that was before Culloden so the thirty years ago wouldn’t work, right? There is definitely some connection between Claire and the Comte and Master Raymond hinted at in a few places. Claire and the Comte sharing bloodlines - yuk! But maybe Master R has good and bad descendants. Just like all of us. LOL -- Kathy in PA, Sun, January 30 2022, 10:56:43

[> [> Thirty years previous would have been 1748, Culloden was over which means St Germaine didn't die in the Kings chamber. For some reason Master Raymond only played at killing the Comte. I have to admit that I didnt' read the novella. just pulled the quote from an online site. Now I have to read it -- LadyDuBois, Sun, January 30 2022, 12:31:06

[> The 30 years could reference something else, not the dragon's blood from Raymond. -- kgp, Mon, January 31 2022, 5:26:58
