The following quote is from An Echo in the Bone by Diana Gabaldon, chapter 63, “Separated Forever from My Friends and Kin.” Copyright©️ 2009 by Diana Gabaldon, all rights reserved.

“‘Ellen, of Leoch?’ cried the man, very excited. ‘Daughter of him they called Jacob Ruaidh?’
In his excitement, Hamish’s grip had tightened on his friend, and the man gave a yelp. This attracted the attention of the young woman—the one Hamish had greeted as “O, beautiful nut-brown maiden’—and she came hurrying to see the matter.
She was nut brown, Ian saw; Rachel Hunter, tanned by the sun to the exact soft shade of a hickory nut, what showed of her hair beneath her kerchief the shade of walnut hulls, and he smiled at the thought. She saw him and narrowed her eyes.
‘Well, and if thee is able to grin like an ape, thee is not much hurt. Why—‘ She stopped, astonished at the sight of Ian Murray locked in embrace with a kilted Highlander, who was weeping with joy. Ian was not weeping, but was undeniably pleased.
‘Ye’ll want to meet my uncle Jamie,’ he said, adroitly disentangling himself. ’Seaumais Ruaidh, I think ye called him.’”
