The following quotation is from Written In my Own Heart’s Blood by Diana Gabaldon. Copyright 2014 All Rights Reserved. Chapter 40 Angels Unawares


“Good morn to ye, sir,” the dark man said, with a courteous inclination of the head. “My name is Dougal MacKenzie, of Castle Leoch. And . . . who might you be?”

Dear Jesus bloody hell, he thought. The shock rippled through him, and he hoped it didn’t show on his face. He shook hands firmly.

“I am Roger Jeremiah MacKenzie, of Kyle of Lochalsh,” he said, keeping his voice mild and - he hoped - assured, as some compensation for his shabby appearance. His voice sounded nearly normal this morning; if he didn’t force it, with luck it wouldn’t crack or gurgle.


Your servant, sir,” MacKenzie said with a slight bow, surprising Roger with his elegant manners. He had deep-set hazel eyes, which looked Roger over with frank interest - and a faint touch of what appeared to be amusement - before shifting to Buck.

[> How bizarre it must have been for Roger to meet all of these people that he had heard so much about - good and evil - and in most cases, to know how they would die! -- DianaH, Fri, March 11 2022, 10:27:31

[> Roger has met most of people in the books, having even met Frank as a small child. He met Geilis in past and present. I wonder if she recognized him when they met, but hid it as she did with Claire. Book Roger was quite dashing ("he looks like a pirate!") and G always had an eye out for men. Jamie, of course, couldn't meet anyone in the future, and Claire couldn't have met Brian.... at least she hasn't yet! -- Kel, Wed, March 16 2022, 15:39:33
