No, it wasn't a joke. This woman, Clare, tells me she's been through the same thing... in 1945!!! She was a nurse during 2ww, and she nearly got burnt as a witch because of her medical skills and knowledge! While hearing the story I get relaxed, because even though I might never see again my family, I found someone who will help me. How do I know she'll help me? If she hadn't wanted to, I still would be being raped by that redcoat... I think. Cavalcare mi è sempre piaciuto, ma così a lungo inizia a far male; Clare sembra accorgersene, infatti mi dice con perfetto accento scozzese:"don't worry, you'll get used to this. I still didn't get the year you're from. Those look like jeans, but in 1945 only workmen used those. And these are so thight! I grew up with my archaeologists uncle, wearing large trousers and men's shirts, and I'm my times that was enough to consider me a not well brought up woman!!! What changed?" Io rispondo, trattenendo le risate:"in 2015, whicb is the year I come from, being sexist is not tolerated and men and women are, or legally should be, considered the same. We also have transgender people, and gays and lesbians can marry. A lot changed... " Clare sembra sinceramente contenta che il mondo sia migliore di come lo ha lasciato, but as soon as she sees where we are, her expression changes, and she starts to talk really practically:"Sandra, now I'll give you a big sheet, take your shoes off and go barefoot with that wrapped around as soon as we get there; make sure nobody sees what you're wearing. We're going to Lallybroch, which is my house, because my husband is the laird of the place; you know what a laird is?" Luckily I do, so I nod and she goes on:"great, then one important thing: he knows I'm from the future, do you can talk about your problem with him also, but his sister, brother in law and sons don't, ok?". "Sure", I answer, but she hasn't finished:"that means you need a cover story, can you tell a good one quickly?". I grin. One thing about me: I love helping people, being useful, etc. but I'm the best liar ever...
