The following quote is from Go Tell the Bees That I Am Gone by Diana Gabaldon, chapter 20, “I Bet You Think This Song is About You. . .” Copyright 2021 by Diana Gabaldon, all rights reserved.

“‘You’ve read the book, then?’ I asked after a moment, and he nodded, not looking at me. ‘What do you think of it?’
He made another Scottish noise, shook the last of the peanuts clinking into the bowl, and sat down on the grass beside me.
‘I think the bastard wrote it for me, is what I think,’ he said bluntly.
I was startled. ‘For you?’
‘Aye. He’s talking to me.’ He raised one shoulder, self-conscious. ‘Or at least I think he is. Between the lines. I mean…it might only be as I’m losin’ my mind. That’s maybe more likely. But…’
‘Talking to you…as in, the, um, text seems personally relevant?’ I asked carefully. ‘It couldn’t help but be, could it? Given where and when we are just now, I mean.’”
