Diana Gabaldon Quote
May I come in? I wish to talk to you. Yes, I suppose you do. If I hadn’t known both his fathers, I would have marveled at his ability to suppress the rage and confusion he had so clearly exhibited a quarter of a hour ago. Jamie did it by instinct, John by long experience—but both of them had an iron power of will, and whether William’s was bred in the bone or acquired by example, he most assuredly had one. Shall I send for something? I asked. A little brandy? It’s good for shock. He shook his head. He wouldn’t sit—I didn’t think he could—but leaned against the wall.
