The following quote is from Voyager by Diana Gabaldon, chapter 36, “Practical and Applied Witchcraft.” Copyright © 1994 by Diana Gabaldon, all rights reserved.

“‘A cuckoo,’ she said, almost conversationally. ‘That’s what ye are, laddie—a great cuckoo in the nest. God knows whose son ye were meant to be; it wasna mine.’
Young Ian flushed hotly, dropping his eyes as the red burned in his cheeks. He pushed the feathery damp hair out of his eyes with the back of one hand.
‘I—well, I just …’ he began, eyes on his boots, ‘I couldna just …’
‘Oh, never mind about it now!’ his mother snapped. ‘Get ye upstairs to your bed; your Da will deal wi’ ye in the morning.’
Ian glanced helplessly at the parlor door, then at me. He shrugged once more, looked at the sodden hat in his hands as though wondering how it had got there, and shuffled slowly down the hall.”

[> It’s hard now to picture the confident MAN that he grows into. I’m too old for Ian, but once he’s grown up he totally adds to the sexy man line up in the Outlander story. -- Kathy in PA, Sat, February 19 2022, 9:29:15
