Subject: QOTD

The following quote is taken from Written in My Own Heart’s Blood by Diana Gabaldon, Chapter 5, The Passions of Young Men. Copyright 2014, All Rights Reserved.

I shook my head, dismissing the dozen things I could do nothing about. During this minor reverie, Jenny and Mrs. Figg appeared to have been discussing William and his abrupt departure from the scene.

“Where would he go to, I wonder?” Mrs. Fig looked worriedly toward the wall of the stairwell, pocked with blood smeared dents left by William”s fist.

“Gone to find a bottle, a fight, or a woman,” said Jenny, with the authority of a wife, sister, and the mother of sons. “Maybe all three.”

This makes me smile every time I read it. Jenny is nothing if not pragmatic! I often wonder what she would have done if she found Young Ian in the brothel in Edinburgh instead of Old Ian…..

[> The exact same thing happened to me Janet! A huge smile. I wish I could be as succinct and right as Jenny. Lol. If she found Ian in a brothel she’d probably have something snarky to say, but after how many kids?, she’s unflappable. -- Kathy in PA, Thu, August 01 2024, 11:19:25

[> I know lots of folks dislike Jenny because of grabbing Jamie by the balls in Outlander, and how she treated Claire when she returned in Voyager, but I've always been a fan of hers. -- DianaH, Fri, August 02 2024, 10:39:02
