The following quotation is from Written In my Own Heart’s Blood by Diana Gabaldon. Copyright 2014 All Rights Reserved. Chapter 48 Just For The Fun Of It


Denzell was dressed in the uniform of a Continental soldier and looked self-conscious as a hunting dog with a bow round its neck. Ian suppressed his amusement, though, merely nodding as his future brother-in-law drew to a stop before them. Denny’s betrothed had no such compunctions.


“Is he not beautiful?” Dottie crowed, standing back a little to admire him. Denzell coughed and pushed his spectacles up his nose. He was a tidy man, not over tall, but broad in the shoulder and strong in the forearm. He did look fine in the uniform, Ian thought, and said so.


“I will try not to let my appearance engorge my vanity,” Denzell said dryly
