The following quote is from Drums of Autumn by Diana Gabaldon, Chapter13, An Examination of Conscience. Copyright 1997, all rights reserved.

Dim as it was in the taproom, I could see the man’s face go blank with shock. Jamie came to an abrupt halt behind me. He said something in Gaelic under his breath that I recognized as a vicious obscenity, but then he was moving forward past me, with no sign of hesitation in his manner.

“Sargent Murchison,” he said, in tone of mild surprise, as one might greet a casual acquaintance. “I had not thought to lay eyes on you again---not in this world, at least.”

The Sargent’s expression strongly suggested that the feeling was mutual. Also that any meeting this side of heaven was too soon. Blood flooded his beefy, pockmarked cheeks with red, and he shoved back his bench with a screech of wood on the sanded floor.

“You!” he said.
