The following quote is from Seven Stones to Stand or Fall by Diana Gabaldon, “A Fugitive Green,” chapter 5, “Strategy and Tactics.” Copyright 2017 by Diana Gabaldon, all rights reserved.

“Half an hour, two pots of China tea, and a dozen tea cakes (with cream) later, she made her way out into the street, a scribbled list of engagements in her hand and her head spinning with tippets, panniers, mantuas, swags, fans—she had a nice fan, luckily—and other items necessary to the pursuit and bagging of a wealthy and influential husband.
‘A gun would be simpler,’ she muttered, thrusting the list into her pocket. ‘And certainly less expensive.’
‘What kind of gun?’said Mick O’Higgins with interest, appearing out of a nearby doorway.
‘Never mind,’ she said. ‘We’re going to a milliner’s.’
‘Oh, a milliner’s, is it?’ He bowed and offered her his arm. ‘Nay bother, then. Sure, the bird’ll be dead before they put it on your hat.’”
