The following quote is from Voyager by Diana Gabaldon, chapter 32, “The Prodigal’s Return.” Copyright © 1994 by Diana Gabaldon, all rights reserved.

“‘It’s usually ten, Uncle.’ Young Ian had shed his coat, and tugged at his waist now, speaking over his shoulder. ‘Twelve if it’s pretty bad, and fifteen if it’s really awful.’
‘Was this only bad, would ye say, or pretty bad?’
There was a brief, unwilling laugh from the boy.
‘If Father’s makin’ you do it, Uncle Jamie, it’s really awful, but I’ll settle for pretty bad. Ye’d better give me twelve.’
There was another snort from Ian at my elbow. This time, it was definitely amusement. ‘Honest lad,’ he murmured.”

[> I’m realizing that Diana’s dialogue, not only LJ, but everyone’s - is what makes this so real for me. The last paragraph here and the first one yesterday are so exactly how truly loving parents deal with kids in trouble. Verbal tongue lashing from Mom (you canna be mine 🙄) and remembered belting from Dad, but absolutely no doubt of their love. Cindy, thanks for a great week of lovable young Ian! ❤️ -- Kathy in PA, Sat, February 19 2022, 4:22:48

Actually, my girlfriend wants to know about this and that is why I am searching for it online on google search. I will surely share your post with my girlfriend and I am sure she will be so happy.
