The following quote is taken from Outlander by Diana Gabaldon, Chapter 31, Quarter Day, (c) 1991 by Diana Gabaldon. All rights reserved. Page 642

The bannocks were steaming gently in the cool air, and smelt heavenly. I reached for one, the heavy boar’s-tooth bracelets clinking together on my wrist. I saw Murtagh’s eyes on them and adjusted them so he could see the engraved silver end pieces.

“Aren’t they lovely?” I said. “Jenny said they were her mother’s.”

Murtagh’s eyes dropped to the bowl of parritch that Mrs. Crook had thrust unceremoniously under his nose.

“They suit ye,” he mumbled.

[> I wonder what he thought to see Ellens jewellery on another woman..... I some how think he would have thought they went to a good home on Claires arm -- Aussiewench, 01:31:00 05/03/12 Thu

[> When I first read this I thought how ungracious Murtagh was being - just what was his problem? When I realized he was the admirer who gave them to Ellen, though, it puts this scene in a whole different light - Murtagh's bitter sweet memories of his love, and his beginning to accept that Claire is a good choice for Jamie. -- jayn, 05:37:03 05/03/12 Thu

[> Murtagh was a tough one to get to his heart, but I think when he saw the bracelets on Claire, he knew she was something special, just like Ellen. -- LisaW, 06:55:24 05/03/12 Thu
