Character: Dougal Mackenzie



- That's the only chance! Dougal hissed back. - Give it to them in exchange for our freedom! They won't touch her if they think she's our captive, and then we'll bring her back if we stay alive!
I came out of my hiding place, walked over to Jamie and grabbed him by the sleeve.
- Do it! - Hurriedly said I. - Dugal is right, this is the only chance!
He looked at me helplessly, his face distorted with anger and horror, but something resembling a grin flashed in his eyes - he understood the irony of this situation.
"After all, I'm English," I remarked.
With a gentle smile, he patted me on the face.
- Yes, but you're my Englishwoman.

Bravery in battle is not something outstanding for the Scot, as you know, but to conquer fear, when you're in a calm, normal state - a rare ability.

- You actually saw it?
- Oh, Yes! and I tell you, miss, to see men flogged with whips - not a pleasant sight. I, fortunately, have not experienced this myself, but I think that waiting is not too sweet. Watch as whip whips someone, waiting the same for myself... God forbid!

- No, lady, you're wrong, let me tell you. Imagination is a good thing, but seeing as the man whipped on the bare back, is quite another. Nasty stuff, designed to break the person, so often and it happens.
But not Jamie.

Did you know that you did it Randall. Jamie told you about it?
- A little bit.
- So he's nice to you, - thoughtfully said Dougal. - He's usually nobody talks about it.
Even can't imagine, why would it? - I said sarcastically.
Quote Explanation: Talking about hard double flogging with hundreds of lashes.

If you command the men, based on solid rules. Or win their respect if you can. Or ' threaten them.

You know the captain? - he asked suddenly.
Worse than you, ' I replied. - I've seen it before only once, and that was by accident. we were each other's taste.
To my surprise, Dougal's stern face softened.
- I can't say that I much prefer, he said.
Drummed his fingers on the edge of the stone wall of the pond, pondering, and turned to me.
- And some of it very high regard. Say, a brave soldier and a great warrior.
I raised my eyebrows.
Since I'm not a General of the British army, to me these qualities do not impress.

See, miss, it is very easy to be brave when you sit in a tavern for a mug of ale. It is much harder to have, if stuck on all fours in the frozen box, and musket bullets whistle over your head and the prickly Heather scratches the ass. But even harder to stand face to face with your enemy, when your blood is pouring all over you.

Never heard a woman swear.
Your husband needs to beat you, woman.
Saint Paul said, "a Woman should..."
- Then bandage it yourself! Or entrust it to St. Paul!
Quote Explanation: Claire had bandaged the wounded Jamie, due to the fact that nobody was helping and she didn't do well in the field, she swore.

And what opinion lady?
