The following quote is from Seven Stones to Stand or Fall by Diana Gabaldon, “A Fugitive Green.” Copyright©️ 2017 by Diana Gabaldon, all rights reserved.

“‘Who the blood helly are you, and what do you mean by following me?’ Minnie demanded, glaring at him. Then she saw his eyes lift, noticing something over her shoulder, and the words “two bodyguards” dropped into her mind like pebbles dropped in water. Merde!
‘Two,’ she said flatly, and lowered the hatpin. ‘Mister O’Higgins, I presume? And…Mr. O’Higgins, as well?’ she added, turning toward the other young man, who had come up behind her. He grinned at her and bowed extravagantly, sweeping off his cap.
‘Raphael Thomas O’Higgins, me lady,’ he said. ‘Blood helly? Would that be a French expression, at all?’
‘If you like,’ she said, still annoyed. ‘And you?’ She swung back to face the first pursuer, who was also grinning from ear to ear.
‘Michael Seamas O’Higgins, miss,’ he said, with a bob of the head. ‘Mick, to me friends, and me brother there is Rafe. Ye were expecting us, I see?’”

[> The O'Higgins Brothers show up several times in BOTB. Quite the opportunistic pair, yet they do seem rather devoted to John as well as Minnie. -- kgp, Wed, October 11 2023, 13:11:03
