The following quote is from Voyager by Diana Gabaldon, chapter 52, “A Wedding Takes Place.” Copyright 1994 by Diana Gabaldon, all rights reserved.

“A thought struck me, and I turned to Jamie. ‘She should have a nice dress to be married in,’ I said.
‘Sassenach,’ he said, with obviously waning patience, ‘we havena—‘
‘No, but the priest does,’ I interrupted. ‘Tell Lawrence to ask Father Fogden whether we might borrow one of his gowns; Ermenegilda’s, I mean. I think they’re almost the right size.’
Jamie’s face went blank with surprise above his beard.
‘Ermenegilda?’ he said. ‘Arabella? Gowns?’ He narrowed his eyes at me. ‘What sort of priest is this man, Sassenach?’
I paused in the doorway, Marsali hovering impatiently in the passage beyond.
‘Well,’ I said, ‘he drinks a bit. And he’s rather fond of sheep. But he might remember the words to the wedding ceremony.’”

[> I love that Claire wanted Marsali to have a nice dress, reminiscent of Jamie insisting that Claire have a proper dress for their wedding. I also love that Claire is not too concerned about Father Fogden's moral character, just that he can get the job done. -- DianaH, Mon, February 13 2023, 10:15:40

[> [> Jamie is much more concerned about the “right” priest than Claire. You’re so right about the dress; Claire is a good MIL right off the bat. -- Kathy in PA, Tue, February 14 2023, 6:56:31
