The following quote is from Dragonfly in Amber by Diana Gabaldon, The Fox’s Lair.” Copyright © 1992 by Diana Gabaldon, all rights reserved.

“‘Not very canty today, is he?’ I remarked, with a flip of the hand back in Murtagh’s direction. In fact, the small clansman had grown more testy and irritable with each step in the direction of Beauly. ‘I take it he’s not enchanted with the prospect of visting Lord Lovat?’
Jamie smiled, with a brief backward glance at the small, dark figure, bent in absorption over the rope he was splicing.
‘Nay, Murtagh’s no friend of Old Simon. He loved my father dearly’—his mouth quirked to one side—‘and my mother, as well. He didna care for Lovat’s treatment of them. Or for Lovat’s methods of getting wives.’”

[> Murtagh is David's favorite character... it's really hard for me to pick a favorite, so many of them are dear to my heart. Simon Fraser, Lord Lovat, is a nasty, nasty man, even in history. He is at the bottom of my list of characters. Do we ever hear how the Fox felt about Ellen? I could have forgotten..... oops. -- Betsy BFS, Tue, March 15 2022, 8:59:45

[> [> Murtagh has always been at the top of my favorites too; right from the moment he dropped down on BJR (who is definitely my most hated) to rescue Claire. He was SO effortlessly ABLE and that was it. No BS, just save the lass and get her back to Dougal- only for now thank God. -- Kathy in PA, Wed, March 16 2022, 6:46:58

[> Interesting observation "loved my father.... and my mother as well." If Murtaugh couldn't have Ellen, he still loved Brian and their children, for their own sake as well as Ellen's. -- Kel, Wed, March 16 2022, 15:29:38
