The following quote is from Dragonfly in Amber by Diana Gabaldon, chapter 41, “The Seer’s Curse.” Copyright © 1992 by Diana Gabaldon, all rights reserved.

“‘Sometimes I know there’s something there, like,’ Maisri said suddenly, ‘but I can block it out of my mind, not look. ’Twas like that with his lordship; I knew there was something, but I’d managed not to see it. But then he bade me look, and say the divining spell to make the vision come clear. And I did.’ The hood of her cloak slipped back as she tilted her head, looking up at the wall of the Priory as it soared above us, ochre and white and red, with the mortar crumbling between its stones. White-streaked black hair spilled down her back, free in the wind.
‘He was standing there before the fire, but it was daylight, and clear to see. A man stood behind him, still as a tree, and his face covered in black. And across his lordship’s face there fell the shadow of an ax.’”
