The following quotation is from Go Tell The Bees That I Am Gone by Diana Gabaldon. Copyright 2021 All rights reserved. Chapter 77 City Of Brotherly Love

Patience clutched the pommel like grim death and he could feel her shivering against him, despite the several layers of flimsy garments she wore.

“Have ye ever been on a horse before, lass?”

She nodded, breathless.

“Daddy would put me and Pru up on his nag now and then. But we never did more than walk round the yard.”

“Well, that’s something. Ehm . . . your father’s dead, I take it?”

“Maybe,” she said sadly. “Mummy thinks the militia shot him because they thought he was a Loyalist. Me and Pru think maybe the Indians took him. But he’s been gone since before Chastity was born, so he’s likely dead. Otherwise, don’t you think he would have got free and come back to us?”

“I do,” Ian assured her. “But ken, Indians can be good folk. I’m a Mohawk myself.”

“Thee is?” She turned round in the saddle to stare at him, with a combination of interest and horror.
