The following quote is from “The Custom of the Army,” in Seven Stones to Stand or Fall by Diana Gabaldon. Copyright 2010 by Diana Gabaldon, all rights reserved.

“‘Me lord?’
The voice at his elbow nearly made him swallow his tongue. He turned with an attempt at calmness, ready to reproach Tom for venturing out into the chaos, but before he could summon words, his young valet stooped at his feet, holding something.
‘I’ve brought your breeches, me lord,’ Tom said, voice trembling. ‘Thought you might need ’em, if there was fighting.’
‘Very thoughtful of you, Tom,’ he assured his valet, fighting an urge to laugh. He stepped into the breeches and pulled them up, tucking in his shirt.”

[> Poor Tom. He's certainly had adventures he never would have if he'd stayed on as a boot boy. He's very brave and devoted. -- kgp, Tue, December 13 2022, 7:00:29

[> [> And he’s like a son to LJ. First he’s a little irritated at him but then realizes Tom is acting out of deep concern and practical care. -- Kathy in PA, Tue, December 13 2022, 8:13:50
