The following quote is from Seven Stones to Stand or Fall by Diana Gabaldon, “A Leaf on the Wind of All Hallows.” Copyright © 2017 by Diana Gabaldon, all rights reserved.

“‘Brave,’ she repeated. ‘They’re all brave, aren’t they? Every single one. Even you—or are you?’
She heard her mother’s gasp, but went on anyway, reckless.
‘You all have to be brave and noble and—and—perfect, don’t you? Because if you were weak, if there were any cracks, if anyone looked like being not quite the thing, you know—well, it might all fall apart, mightn’t it? So none of you will, will you? Or if somebody did, the rest of you would cover it up. You won’t ever not do something, no matter what it is, because you can’t not do it; all the other chaps would think the worse of you, wouldn’t they, and we can’t have that, oh, no, we can’t have that!’”
