Diana Gabaldon Quote
He was tempted to tell the boy the circumstances of that first meeting, but that would be poor repayment to John for his priceless gift, these precious few days with his son. He was a verra gallant soldier, indeed, Jamie agreed, straight-faced. And right about the hands, as well. Have ye begun your schooling with the sword, then? Just a little. Willie was forgetting his embarrassment in enthusiasm for the new topic. I’ve had a little whinger since I was eight, and learnt feint and parry. Papa says I shall have a proper sword when we reach Virginia, now I am tall enough for the reach of tierce and longé.
