The following quote is from An Echo in the Bone by Diana Gabaldon, chapter 38, “Plain Speech.” Copyright©️ 2009 by Diana Gabaldon, all rights reserved.

“He wished to continue the conversation—she seldom lingered when she fed him, having much other work to do—and so lifted his newly shorn chin and gestured at the brooch she wore.
‘That’s pretty,’ he said. ‘Not too worldly?’
‘No,’ she said tartly, putting a hand to the brooch. ‘It’s made of my mother’s hair. She died when I was born.’
‘Ah. I’m sorry,’ he said, and with a moment’s hesitation added, ‘So did mine.’
She stopped then and looked at him, and for a moment, he saw a flicker of something in her eyes that was more than the matter-of-fact attention she would give to a cow in calf or a dog that had eaten something that disagreed with it.
‘I’m sorry, too,’ she said softly.”
