To you, I must be. I’ve never had smallpox, but I can walk through a room full of dying men and never catch it. I can nurse the sick and breathe their air and touch their bodies, and the sickness can’t touch me. I can’t catch cholera, either, or lockjaw, or the morbid sore throat. And you must think it’s an enchantment, because you’ve never heard of vaccine, and there’s no other way you can explain it. The things I know.... I know about John Randall because I was told about him. I know when he was born and when he’ll die, I know about what he’s done and what he’ll do, I know about Sandringham because..., because Frank told me. He knew about Randall because he... he... oh, God! And Colum... he thinks I’m a witch because I know Hamish isn’t his own son. I know... he can’t sire children. But he thought I knew who Hamish’s father is... I thought maybe it was you, but then I knew it couldn’t be, and.... Everything I’ve ever told you about myself was true. Everything. I haven’t any people, I haven’t any history, because I haven’t happened yet. Do you know when I was born? On the twentieth of October, in the Year of Our Lord nineteen hundred and eighteen. Do you hear me? I said nineteen eighteen! Nearly two hundred years from now! Do you hear? Yes, you hear! And you think I”m raving mad. Don’t you? Admit it! That’s what you think. You have to think so, there isn’t any other way you can explain me to yourself. You can’t believe me, you can’t dare to. Oh, Jamie... It was the rocks... the fairy hill. The standing stones. Merlin’s stones. That’s where I came through. Once upon a time, but it’s really two hundred years. It’s always two hundred years, in the stories... But in the stories, the people always get back. I couldn’t get back. Jamie. Oh, Jamie.
