The following quote is from Outlander by Diana Gabaldon, chapter 27, “The Last Reason.” Copyright ©️1991 by Diana Gabaldon, all rights reserved.

“‘Be useful for the once, and take this wee fiend outside wi’ ye. Mrs. Crook’s in the washhouse; ye can leave him there.’ She moved her foot, dislodging small Jamie, who was clinging to her skirts, chanting ‘up, up’ monotonously.
His uncle obediently grabbed the wee fiend around the middle and swept him out the door, upside down and shrieking with delight. ‘Ah,’ Jenny sighed contentedly, bending to inspect her appearance in the gold-framed mirror. She wet a finger and smoothed her brows, then finished doing up the buttons at her throat. ‘Nice to finish dressing wi’out someone clinging to your skirts or wrapped round your knees. Some days I can scarce go to the privy alone, or speak a single sentence wi’out being interrupted.’”
