The following quote is from Outlander by Diana Gabaldon, chapter 17, “We Meet a Beggar.” Copyright ©️1991 by Diana Gabaldon, all rights reserved.

“I had heard what he said to the plover he released. Though I had only a few words of Gaelic, I had heard the old salutation often enough to be familiar with it. ‘God go with ye, Mother,’ he had said.
A young mother, dead in childbirth. And a child left behind. I touched his arm and he looked down at me.
‘How old were you?’ I asked.
He gave me a half-smile. ‘Eight,’ he answered. ‘Weaned, at least.’”
