Diana Gabaldon Quote

Quite suddenly, Grey knew what to say. Queen’s knight, he said quietly. To queen two. It was, he knew, a dangerous opening. Fraser didn’t move, but Grey felt his sideways glance. After an instant’s hesitation, he replied, King’s knight to bishop two, and Grey felt his heart lighten. It was the answer to the Torremolinos Gambit, the one he had used on that far-off, disastrous evening at Ardsmuir, when he had first laid his hand on Jamie Fraser’s.
