The following quote is from Outlander by Diana Gabaldon, chapter 26, “The Laird's Return.” Copyright © 1991 by Diana Gabaldon, all rights reserved.
~*~*~Claire isn't the only woman who gives Jamie a run for his money...LOL~*~*~
"Of course I remember! I'm no likely to forget it!"
"Then perhaps you'll remember that I gave the Captain a fair jolt in the crutch wi' my knee at one point in the proceedings?"
Jamie hunched his shoulders, wary. "Aye, I remember."
Jenny smiled in a superior manner.
"Weel then, if your wife here - ye could tell me her name at least, Jamie, I swear you've no manners at all - anyway, if she was to give ye similar treatment - and richly you deserve it, I might add - d'ye think you'd be able to perform your husbandly duties a few minutes later?"
Jamie, who had been opening his mouth to speak, suddenly shut it. He stared at his sister for a long moment, then one corner of his mouth twitched slightly.
"Depends," he said. The mouth twitched again. He had been sitting hunched forward in his chair, but sat back now, looking at her with the half skeptical expression of a younger brother listening to a sister's fairy tales, feeling himself too old to be amazed, but half-believing still against his will.
"Really?" he said.

[> [> Another reason I agree with Betsy about Dougal - don’t like him very much either. I do love the sibling’s love and connection. -- Kathy in PA, Fri, January 21 2022, 7:56:36

[> [> Yes, Diana, I totally agree - thanks Judith! No matter how much better the books get and “Which is favorite?” I always go back to Outlander because she grabbed us right then and we sure stayed on for the ride with great joy ❤️ -- Kathy in PA, Fri, January 21 2022, 9:33:20

[> Thanks, Ladies! It sure is true for Outlander, almost every page has a quote-worthy event with great memories! -- JudithONH, Fri, January 21 2022, 9:59:14

[> In some ways, Jamie's responses, particularly here, remind me of my own DH. In any instance that could go either way, he goes WAY the other way. He's sure that the worst is on the way....... I understand why Jamie listened to his uncle. He'd been gone for several years so he doesn't know how Jennine can handle most everything, and I wonder if he was feeling guilty for being gone, and flying off the handle was guilt-driven. -- Betsy Barefoor Spinne, Fri, January 21 2022, 10:26:58

[> [> Oh God, yes, Betsy! He’s Catholic isn’t he? With absolutely no disrespect meant, my DH is too. -- Kathy in PA, Fri, January 21 2022, 14:07:50
