Diana Gabaldon Trivia Questions

1. The Minister's cat is a 'fraidycat! What word is missing from this quote by Roger Wakefield? "The Minister's cat is scared stiff of that place. He wouldn't set foot up there if it were knee-deep in ______."

From Quiz
"Drums of Autumn" LOL Quiz

Answer: sardines

Roger taught Brianna the Minister's Cat game on the car ride to the Celtic festival where he was performing. In "Drums" and later books Roger and Bree use the game to open communication between them when they are feeling emotionally stressed. In this particular instance, Bree was asking Roger if he had been back to Craigh na Dun since her mother, Claire, disappeared through the standing stones the previous year.

2. "And if Time is anything akin to ____, I suppose that Memory must be ____." What are the missing words from the Prologue?

From Quiz "A Breath of Snow and Ashes" Prologue - Chapter 10

Answer: God / the Devil

The Prologue to "A Breath of Snow and Ashes" reads: "Time is a lot of the things people say that God is. There's the always preexisting, and having no end. There's the notion of being all powerful--because nothing can stand against time, can it? Not mountains, not armies. "And time is, of course, all-healing. Give anything enough time, and everything is taken care of: all pain encompassed, all hardship erased, all loss subsumed. "Ashes to ashes, dust to dust. Remember, man, that thou art dust; and unto dust though shalt return. "And if Time is anything akin to God, I suppose that Memory must be the Devil." Diana Gabaldon describes her writing technique as "kerneled"; she writes in bits and pieces and then arranges them in suitable order to tell the story. Occasionally she writes something that seems to fit outside the plotline, what Gabaldon calls "the Voice of the story" because it isn't written from the point of view of a particular character, as are all of the other passages. These become the prologues to her books.
