The following quote is from Seven Stones to Stand or Fall by Diana Gabaldon, “Besieged.” Copyright © 2017 by Diana Gabaldon, all rights reserved.

“‘I see…’ said John, in a tone indicating quite the opposite. Mr. Rimes noticed this and smiled reassuringly.
‘So, I’ll bring you in under colors—they won’t shell a cutter, I don’t think, not until they see what’s what—and deliver you as an official visitor of some sort. The general thought perhaps you might be bringing some message to the English consul there, but of course you’ll know best about that.’
‘Oh, indeed.’ It couldn’t be patricide, could it? he thought. Strangling a stepfather, particularly under the circumstances…
‘It’s all right, me lord,’ Tom put in helpfully. ‘I’ve brought your full-dress uniform. Just in case you might need it.’”

[> [> Isn’t it awful when someone thinks they’re doing you a favor and you REALLY don’t want it . . . . . . Especially if it’s an elderly, respected relative. I just love Tom. Get his Lordship properly done up and all will be well! -- Kathy in PA, Wed, July 13 2022, 14:01:46
