Subject: QOTD for Friday, March 11, 2022

The following quotation is from Written In my Own Heart’s Blood by Diana Gabaldon. Copyright 2014 All Rights Reserved. Chapter 41 In Which Things Converge


“GET BACK IN THE TRUCK!” Brianna bellowed, leaping down the slope, skittering on stones and bending her ankles in spongy patches of heather. “JEMMY! GET BACK!”

She saw Jem turn, his face white in the glare of the light, but it was too late. The front door flew open and two dark figures rushed out, running for the truck.

She wasted no more breath but ran for all she was worth. A shotgun was useless at any distance - or maybe not. She skidded to a halt, shouldered the gun, and fired. Buckshot flew into the gorse with a whizzing sound like tiny arrows, but the bang had halted the intruders in their tracks.

“BACK IN THE TRUCK!”

[> Mother of Mary, this whole section was terrifying! I had to read as fast as I could to find out what happened. Does anyone else think that we haven't seen the last of Jem's principal either? -- DianaH, Fri, March 11 2022, 10:29:34
