Subject: QOTD

The following quote is from Drums of Autumn by Diana Gabaldon, Chapter 2, In Which We Meet a Ghost. Copywrite 1997, all rights reserved.

“Sacree Vierge!”

My head snapped up. Everyone was shouting, and the horses, startled, were neighing and jerking frantically against their hobbles, making the wagon hop and lurch like a drunken beetle.

“Wuff!” Rollo said next to me.

“Jesus!” said Ian, goggling at the wagon. “Jesus Christ!”

I swung in the direction he was looking and screamed. A pale fugure loomed out of the wagon bed, swaying with the wagon’s jerking. I had no time to see more before all hell broke loose

And so we meet Stephan Bonnet…….
