The following quote is from Seven Stones to Stand or Fall by Diana Gabaldon, “The Custom of the Army.” Copyright©️ 2017, 2010 by Diana Gabaldon, all rights reserved.

“‘Me lord?’
The voice at his elbow nearly made him swallow his tongue. He turned with an attempt at calmness, ready to reproach Tom for venturing out into the chaos, but before he could summon words, his young valet stooped at his feet, holding something.
‘I’ve brought your breeches, me lord,’ Tom said, voice trembling. ‘Thought you might need ’em, if there was fighting.’
‘Very thoughtful of you, Tom,’ he assured his valet, fighting an urge to laugh. He stepped into the breeches and pulled them up, tucking in his shirt.”

[> [> Me too! He is SO sincere in his devotion and even love, I think, for John. And I think John realizes and appreciates more than most of his class would in those days. -- Kathy in PA, Mon, October 09 2023, 2:30:20
