Sassenach = Sassysnatch according to my husband.

[tolallybroch]

There was a feeling, not sudden, but complete, as though I had been given a small object to hold unseen in my hands. Precious as opal, smooth as jade, weighty as a river stone, more fragile than a bird’s egg. Infinitely still, live as the root of Creation. Not a gift, but a trust. Fiercely to cherish, softly to guard.

As is my desire, put an end to this now.                                         M: I ​won’t put up with any more of this.                                J: I won’t get past this. Will you force me to beg?      M: I gave a promise to your Mother. Peace on her soul. That no harm would come to you.                                               J: Late is the hour, oh Godfather.     M:​ And Claire? Let her be a widow, forsaking her? Your head’s in the porridge. You haven’t a                                                           single thought for her.                                    J: I haven’t a single thought of anything but her..
