Last week I lent my colleague Mucky Outlander, and it's begun again.

Monday Morning

Mucky: I'm only on page 90 and I’m in love with Jamie already!! It’s going to be hard to work because I want to read!!! Ohhhhhhh Jamie!!!!!!

Tuesday Morning

Lal: Where are you in the book now? You'll love him even more once you get though the next 100 pages! Ahhhh, Jamie! Gotta love him.

Mucky: I’m at the part where Claire and Jamie are in their honeymoon suite!!! Claire has just started talking about Frank. I cried on the streetcar on my way in today because of their wedding. My God, how I love that Jamie!!!

Jen Star: Ooh boy! There's lots of "doin' it" coming up for you in the next 50 pages!

Mucky: I was hoping so!! Tehhehheeeee!

Jana: All that fresh air, scented heather, oatcakes and whiskey . . . gives a lad a lot of energy it seems.

Jen Star: Also, there's the whole "23-year-old virgin" part.

Lal: I was just thinking about the first time they do it. . . . Hahaha, it's too cute!

Jana: She's very discreet . . . the author I mean!

Mucky: That, I must admit, tickled my fancy. Especially since that witch chick said he was the father of Column’s son. I was so upset. Then he confessed his purity and my loins quivered!!!

Lal: Well, expect more than your loins quivering in the next 50 pages!

Tuesday Afternoon

Mucky: That Jamie sure is a sweet lover, what with his lack of experience and all. (sigh . . .)

Lal: Oh, but he does become a foxy lover, thanks to our heroine Claire Beauchamp!

Mucky: Very true!!! She taught him about pleasure and pain. Dirty little vixen!!!

Jana: He walked into that room a boy, he crawled out a man.

Nice one, Jana.
