Subject: QOTD for Tuesday, August 6, 2024

The following quotation is from Seven Stones To Stand Or Fall by Diana Gabaldon Copyright 2017 All Rights Reserved Besieged


“She’s in Havana,” General Stanley said. “Minding your cousin Olivia.”

This seemed like a moderately respectable thing for an elderly lady to be doing, and Grey relaxed slightly. But only slightly.

“Is she ill?”

“I hope not. She said in her last letter that there was an outbreak of some sort of ague in the city but that she herself was in good health.”

“Fine.” Tom had come back with the brandy bottle, and John poured himself a small glass. “I trust she’s enjoying the weather.” He raised an eyebrow at his stepfather, who sighed deeply and put his hands on his knees.

“I’m sure she is. The problem, my boy, is that the British Navy is on its way to lay siege to the city of Havana, and I really think it would be a good idea if your mother wasn’t in the city when they get there."
