The following quote is from Seven Stones to Stand or Fall by Diana Gabaldon, “Besieged.” Copyright ©2017 by Diana Gabaldon, all rights reserved.

“‘Is she ill?’ he asked.
‘I hope not. She said in her last letter that there was an outbreak of some sort of ague in the city, but she herself was in good health.’
‘Fine.’ Tom had come back with the brandy bottle, and John poured himself a small glass. ‘I trust she’s enjoying the weather.’ He raised an eyebrow at his stepfather, who sighed deeply and put his hands on his knees.
‘I’m sure she is. The problem, my boy, is that the British Navy is on its way to lay siege to the city of Havana, and I really think it would be a good idea if your mother wasn’t in the city when they get there.’”

[> Wasn’t he the perfect match for Lady B? Sort of …… honorable but bumbling, loving enough to give her complete freedom (a woman off to Jamaica!?!) and old military so he wanted to be her knight in shining armor - but wisely left it up to Hal and mostly John. John rescues a lot of people, you know? And Tom 😊 -- Kathy in PA, Mon, May 09 2022, 12:32:42
