The following quote is from Go Tell the Bees That I Am Gone by Diana Gabaldon, chapter 8, “Visitations.” Copyright ©️ 2021 by Diana Gabaldon, all rights reserved.

“‘Both, then,’ Roger said. ‘Two holes for the family, and a separate privy for visitors—or rather, for the surgery. Say it’s for convenience. Ye dinna want to seem highfalutin by not letting people use your own privy.’
‘No, that wouldna do at all.’ Jamie vibrated briefly then stilled, but stayed for a moment, looking down, a half smile still on his face. The smells of damp, fresh-dug earth and newly sawn wood rose thick around them, mingling with the scent of the fire, and Roger could almost imagine that he felt the house solidifying out of the smoke.
Jamie left off what he was thinking, then, and turned his head to look at Roger. ‘I missed ye, Roger Mac,’ he said.
Roger opened his mouth to reply, but his throat had closed as hard as if he’d swallowed a rock, and nothing came out but a muffled grunt.”
