The following quote is from The Fiery Cross by Diana Gabaldon, chapter 13, “Beans and Barbecue.” Copyright ©️2001 by Diana Gabaldon, all rights reserved.

“‘Did I ever think to thank ye, Sassenach?’ he said, his voice a little husky.
‘For what?’ I said, puzzled. He took my hand, and drew me gently toward him. He smelled of ale and damp wool, and very faintly of the brandied sweetness of fruitcake.
‘For my bairns,’ he said softly. ‘For the children that ye bore me.’
‘Oh,’ I said. I leaned slowly forward, and rested my forehead against the solid warmth of his chest. I cupped my hands at the small of his back beneath his coat, and sighed. ‘It was … my pleasure.’”
