Time Quote by Diana Gabaldon
““I married a lady and she became a whore. I cannot complain if it should be the other way about this time.” “You think I’m a whore, do you?” She wasn’t sure whether to be amused or insulted. Perhaps both. “Do you normally sleep with your victims, madam?” “I wasn’t asleep, Your Grace, and if you had been, I think I would have noticed. (A Fugitive Green)””
