The following quote is from Drums of Autumn by Diana Gabaldon, chapter 16, “The First Law of Thermodynamics.” Copyright 1997 by Diana Gabaldon, all rights reserved.

“‘Get up and knock at the spot where the split is, Ian. I’ll deal with it on the outside.’ Seizing a fresh shingle, a hammer, a hatchet, and a bag of nails, he headed for the door.
‘Don’t you go up on the roof in that!’ I exclaimed, sitting up abruptly. ‘That’s your good woolen shirt!’
He halted by the door, glared briefly at me, then, with the rebuking expression of an early Christian martyr, laid down his tools, stripped off the shirt, dropped it on the floor, picked up the tools, and strode majestically out to deal with the leak, buttocks clenched with determined zeal.”

[> I often scolded my DH for doing things he shouldn't, like adding chlorine to the pool, while wearing a good clothes. He never stripped down to spite me though! LOL! -- DianaH, Thu, January 12 2023, 10:34:27
