Subject: QOTD for Monday March 7, 2022

The following quotation is from Written In my Own Heart’s Blood by Diana Gabaldon. Copyright 2014 All Rights Reserved. Chapter 37 Cognoscote



The healer was a little way down the road; Roger saw the man’s dark figure kneeling in prayer before a tiny shrine, the ends of his cloak fluttering in the wind. Roger came up to him slowly, hanging back so as not to disturb his devotions - and, on impulse, bowed his own head toward the small statue, so weathered as to be faceless. Take care of them, please, he prayed. Help me get back to them - to Bree. That was all he had time for, before the healer rose to his feet - but that was all he had to say, in any case.


The healer hadn’t heard him; he rose and turned, surprised at seeing Roger but recognizing him at once. He smiled, a little wearily, clearly expecting some medical question of a private nature.


Heart thumping, Roger reached out and grasped the healer’s hand. The man’s eyes widened with shock.


”Cognosco te,” Roger said, very softly. I know you.
