The following quote is from Written in My Own Heart’s Blood by Diana Gabaldon, chapter 21, “Bloody Men.” Copyright ©️2014 by Diana Gabaldon, all rights reserved.

“‘You!’ William blurted, wrenching loose. ‘What the devil are you doing here? And where is my—what have you—‘ He made a convulsive gesture of dismissal. ‘What are you doing here?’
‘Talking to you, if ye’ll close your mouth for a moment,’ Jamie said coldly. ‘Listen to me, lad, because I’m telling ye what you’re going to do.’
‘You’re not telling me anything,’ William began furiously, and cocked a fist. Jamie grabbed him by the upper arm again, and this time dug his fingers hard into the spot Claire had shown him, on the underside of the bone. William let out a strangled ‘Agh!’ and started to pant, his eyes bulging.
‘You’re going to catch up the men ye sent Ian with and tell them to set him free,’ Jamie said evenly. ‘If ye don’t, I go down under a flag of truce to the camp where they’re taking him, introduce myself, tell the commander who you are, and explain the reason for the fight. Ye’ll be right there beside me. Do I make myself clear?’ he asked, increasing the pressure of his fingers.
‘Yes!’ The word came out in a hiss, and Jamie let go suddenly, folding his fingers into a fist to hide the fact that they were trembling and twitching from the effort.”
