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

“‘Proper old twister, isn’t he?’ I said, completely intrigued. ‘Though I suppose he can’t have been so old then; only in his forties.’ Having heard that Lord Lovat was now in his middle seventies, I had been expecting something fairly doddering and decrepit, but was rapidly revising my expectations, in view of these stories.
‘My grandsire,’ Jamie observed evenly, ‘has by all reports got a character that would enable him to hide conveniently behind a spiral staircase.’”
