The following quotation is from Go Tell The Bees That I Am Gone by Diana Gabaldon. Copyright 2021 All Rights Reserved Chapter 77 City Of Brotherly Love



“Go away,” she said. “And tell thy uncle to stop coming here.”

He looked her over carefully, but she seemed to be in her right mind. Homely as a board fence, but sensible enough.

“I think we may be talkin’ of different men, lassie. My uncle is Jamie Fraser, of Fraser’s Ridge in North Carolina. He stayed with your family for a day or two sometime past - “ He counted backward in his head and found an approximation, “It would ha’ been maybe two weeks before the battle at Monmouth; will ye have heard o’ that one?”

Evidently she had, for she scrambled out of the bush in such a hurry as to snag both limp brown hair and ratty shawl and emerged covered with dead leaves.

“Jamie Fraser? A very large Scottish man with red hair and a bad back?”

“That’s the one,” Ian said, and smiled at here. “Will your mam be at home, maybe? My uncle’s sent me to see to her welfare.”

[> I loved reading about this little family and the lengths a mother goes to for her children. And I was especially glad when Jamie made sure they got back to the Ridge, where they could be safe. -- Janet, Wed, May 08 2024, 11:08:13

[> [> The daughters are going to become interesting in the next book, I think. I like that the know what lengths their mam has gone to to keep them fed and sheltered. I'm glad Ian found them before either Patience or Prudence were forced into it as well. -- kgp, Wed, May 08 2024, 13:44:39
