The following quote is from Outlander by Diana Gabaldon, chapter 15, “Revelations of the Bridal Chamber.” Copyright © 1991 by Diana Gabaldon, all rights reserved.
~*~*~
"Nay, but ye will, ye auld bugger, if ye dinna clapper yer face," came Jamie's spiked tones in broad Scots reply. Howls of delight greeted this sally, and the raillery continued, following Jamie down the hall to the kitchen and back up the stairs.
I pushed open the door a crack to admit Jamie, face red as the fire below and hands piled high with food and drink. He choked it off with a decisive slam of the door, and shot the bolt to.
"I brought enough we'll no need to go out atain for a tbit," Jamie said, laying out dishes on the table, carefully not looking at me. "Will ye have a bite?"
I reached past him for the bottle of wine, "Not just yet. What I need is a drink."
~*~*~*
Claire is my girl..."What I need is a drink!" Love it!

[> [> Geez, BBS, talk about mortification! At least with Claire being a "widow," they didn't need to see the bloody bed sheet! Of course, the men DID jest with Jamie, asking him "Did ye bleed?" -- DianaH, Tue, January 18 2022, 8:13:58

[> [> [> But it’s interesting just how natural they treat it. I guess because there was never much privacy. -- Kathy in PA, Wed, January 19 2022, 6:36:30
