The following quotation is from The Scottish Prisoner by Diana Gabaldon. Copyright 2011 All Rights Reserved. Chapter 14 Fridstool


“It’s a bit chilly, Sister,” he said, as tactfully as possible. The place was cold as a tomb, and he didn’t want her death on his conscience - let alone laid at his door.

“At my age, Mr. MacKenzie, cold is the natural state of being,” she said tranquilly. “Perhaps it is nature’s way of easing us toward the final chill of the grave. Nor would dying of pleurisy be that much more unpleasant - nor much faster - than dying of the dropsy as I am. But I did bring a warm cloak, as well as the brandy.”

He gave up arguing; he’d known enough strong-minded women to recognize futility when he met it.

[> Maybe that’s a lot of Jamie’s appeal. He HAS known more than enough strong minded women and had the good sense to recognize that gift. His mother, his sister, his aunt, his wife, his DIL, his daughter, Rachel, his granddaughters 😊 🤣 🥰. He knew they “knew” things and got them done. -- Kathy in PA, Sat, February 26 2022, 3:59:30
