Subject: QOTD Thursday, March 24th. the following quote is taken from Lord John And The Hand Of Devils written by Diana Gabaldon. All Rights Reserved --





What he saw was that one frightful glimpse of nakedness he had surprised in Fraser’s face, naked in a way he would wish to see no man naked, let alone a man such as this.


“I understand,” he said softly, the sound of the words surprising him. “I wish it were not so.”


He looked down at the muddled mess of paper before him, blotched and crumpled, marked with spider blots of confusion and regret. It reminded him of that terse note, written with a burnt stick. Despite everything, Fraser had given him help when he asked it.


Might he ever see Jamie Fraser again? There was a good chance he would not. If chance did not kill him, cowardice might.


The mania of confession was on him; best make the most of it. His quill had dried; he did not dip it again.


I love you, he wrote, the strokes light and fast, making scarcely a mark upon the paper, with no ink. I wish it were not so.

[> 😭 🥲 😫 😟 😔 😰. But in the end they have saved each other’s lives and loved ones so it will be ok in the end. You know that saying “Everything will be all right in the end……. If it’s not all right, it’s not the end.” ? But this just made me fill up anyway. He’s pouring out his heart for something that will never be exactly what he hopes. I love Lord John so much. He’s almost more perfect to me than Jamie. Since I’m almost 67 the cerebral has a bit more power than the physical 😉 -- Kathy in PA, Thu, March 24 2022, 8:23:50
