The following quotation is from Go Tell The Bees That I Am Gone by Diana Gabaldon. Copyright 2021 All Rights Reserved. Chapter 102 The Winds Of Winter


“Ben had told me a lot about the family,” she said. “After we met. About his mother, and his . . . his brothers, and you. And about the Duke.” She swallowed. “When Ben made up his mind - to - to do what he did, he sent for me. I came to meet him in Philadelphia; Adam was with Sir Henry there. And Ben meant to tell him - Adam, I mean, not Sir Henry - as well.”

“Did he indeed.” It wasn’t a question. Lord John’s gaze was fixed on Amaranthus’s face. It was a perfectly pleasant expression, but William recognized it as his father’s chess-playing face, rapidly envisioning possibilities and just as rapidly discarding them.

“Ben and Adam . . . fought.” She looked down and William saw her hands clench briefly, as though she would have as soon joined in that fight. Likely she would, he thought, aware of a mild amusement, in spite of everything. “With their fists, I mean. I wasn’t there,” she added, raising her head and looking apologetic, “or I would have stopped them. But when Ben came to me afterward, he looked as though he’d gone a few rounds with a professional boxer.” The corner of her mouth twitched.
