Diana Gabaldon Quote

But he wouldna do it. John. He looked up then, and gave me a crooked smile. He loved me, he said. And if I couldna give him that in return—and he kent I couldn’t—then he’d not take counterfeit for true coin. He shook himself, hard, like a dog coming out of the water. No. A man who would say such a thing is not one who’d bugger a child for the sake of his father’s bonny blue eyes, I’ll tell ye that for certain, Sassenach.
