Subject: QOTD for Tuesday, July 9, 2024

The following quotation is from Drums of Autumn by Diana Gabaldon. Copyright 1997 All Rights Reserved. Chapter 50 In Which All Is Revealed



“Ian,” I said, torn between exasperation and tenderness, “are you doing this because of Brianna’s baby?”

The white of his eyes flashed as he glanced at me, startled. He nodded, shifting his shoulders uncomfortably inside the stiff coat.

“Aye, of course,” he said, as though surprised that I should ask.

“Then you’re not in love with her?” I knew the answer quite well, but thought we had better have it all out..”

“Well . . . no,” he said, the painful blush renewing itself. “But I’m no promised to anyone else,” he hastened to add. “So that’s all right.”

“It is not all right,” I said firmly. “Ian, that’s a very kind notion of yours, but - “

“Oh, it’s not mine,” he interrupted, looking surprised. “Uncle Jamie thought of it.”
