The following quote is from Seven Stones to Stand or Fall by Diana Gabaldon, “A Fugitive Green,” chapter 5, “Strategy and Tactics.” Copyright 2017 by Diana Gabaldon, all rights reserved.

“If he actually meant it…the cynical part of her mind put in. But he likely did. It would be just like him. He’d see it as killing two birds with one stone: getting her access to likely sources of salable information and simultaneously marrying her off to one of them, with Lady Buford as his unwitting accomplice.
And he had, to be fair, told her that he wanted an Englishman for her. She just hadn’t thought he’d meant now. Really, she had to admire her father’s twisted genius; who but a marriage procuress would know more—and have less hesitation in revealing what she knew—about the intimate familial and financial details of wealthy men?”
