Subject: QOTD for Monday, July 8, 2024

The following quotation is from Voyager by Diana Gabaldon. Copyright 1994 All Rights Reserved. Chapter 27 Up in Flames


Young Ian, though, was the focus of attention, as multiple heads came popping out of the drawing room in response to the noise Bruno was making. With his singed hair, swollen red face, beaky nose, and lashless, blinking eyes, he strongly resembled the fledgling young of some exotic bird species - a newly hatched flamingo, perhaps. His face could scarcely grow redder, but the back of his neck flamed crimson, as the sound of feminine giggles followed us up the stairs.

Safely ensconced in the small upstairs sitting room, with the door closed, Ian turned to his hapless offspring.

“Going to live, are ye, ye wee bigger?” he demanded.

“Aye, sir,” Young Ian replied in a dismal croak, looking rather as though he wished the answer were “No.”

“Good,” his father said grimly. “D’ye want to explain yourself, or shall I just belt the hell out of ye now and save us both time?”

[> [> [> [> I did remember that, but not when I started to love Ian. Lol. But I did think Monday’s quote was about Brianna at first, until I read Tuesday’s - and realized - maybe a week of Ian! Yay 😊 -- Kathy in PA, Tue, July 09 2024, 2:11:36
