The following quote is from Written in My Own Heart’s Blood by Diana Gabaldon, chapter 21, “Bloody Men.” Copyright ©️2014 by Diana Gabaldon, all rights reserved.

“‘Don’t be silly,’ Rachel said reasonably. ‘Of course he’ll tell me, the minute we’re alone. Does thee not wish to tell me thyself? I think perhaps thee might not trust Ian to say it aright.’ Her eye rested on Ian’s lip, and her own mouth twitched. Ian might have taken offense at this, save that William’s distress was so apparent.
‘It isna really a disgrace—‘ he began, but then stepped hastily back as William’s clenched fist drew back.
‘You think not?’ William was so furious, his voice was nearly inaudible. ‘To discover that I am—am—the … the get of a Scottish criminal? That I am a fucking bastard?’
Despite his resolve to be patient, Ian felt his own dander start to rise. ‘Criminal, forbye!’ he snapped. ‘Any man might be proud to be the son of Jamie Fraser’
‘Oh,’ said Rachel, forestalling William’s next heated remark. ‘That.’”
