"An Echo In The Bone"

Diana Gabaldon

   "I hate boats. I despise them with the utmost fiber of my being. And yet I find myself once more launched upon the dreadful Bosom of the Sea aboard a Craft known as Tranquil Teal, from which Absurdity you may deduce the grim Whimsy of her Captain. This Gentleman is a Smuggler of mixed Race, evil Countenance, and low Humor, who tells me, straight faced, that his name is Trustworthy Roberts.”

James Fraser May 15, 1777
