Diana Gabaldon Quote

Jamie has held my life in his hands for a good many years now, he answered softly. I will trust him with William’s. And what if Willie remembers a groom named MacKenzie better than you think? Or happens to take a good look at his own face and Jamie’s? Twelve-year-old boys are not remarkable for their acute perception, Grey said dryly. And I think that if a boy has lived all his life in the secure belief that he is the ninth Earl of Ellesmere, the notion that he might actually be the illegitimate offspring of a Scottish groom is not one that would enter his head—or be long entertained there, if it did.
