The following quotation is from Lord John and the Private Matter by Diana Gabaldon. Copyright 2003 All Rights Reserved Chapter 4 A Valet Calls


“On the other hand, whoever stamped on his face didn’t like him much,” Tom completed the thought shrewdly. ”That was no accident, me lord.”

“No, it wasn’t,” Grey agreed dryly. “That was done after death, not in the frenzy of the moment.”

Tom’s eyes went quite round.

“However do you know that? Me lord,” He added hastily.

“You looked closely at the heelprint? Several of the nailheads had broken the skin, and yet there was no blood extravasated.”

Tom gave him a look of mingled bewilderment and suspicion, obviously suspecting that Grey had made up the word upon the moment for the express purpose of tormenting him, but merely said, “Oh?”
