The following quotation is from Written In my Own Heart’s Blood by Diana Gabaldon. Copyright 2014 All Rights Reserved. Chapter 49 Uncertainty Principle


“I suppose he can’t very well be legging it cross-country,” I agreed. “Have you - meaning George Washington - got any idea how big a force he has?”


He lifted one shoulder and waved off a huge horsefly with his hat.


“Maybe ten thousand men. Maybe more. Fergus and Germain watched them assemble to march out, but ye ken it’s not easy to judge numbers when they’re crawlin’ out of the side streets and all.”


“Mmm. And . . . um . . . how many men do we have?” Saying ”we” gave me an odd sensation that rippled through my lower body. Something between tail-curling apprehension and an excitement that was startlingly close to sexual.
