Ha! My bad! See what happens when you try to read 3 books at once??? Good catch. :p
"...how incredulous the question SOUNDED." :) From Diana Gabaldon's "Voyager", third book in her "Outlander" series. A British major in charge of a prison is surprised by a Scottish inmate's literary penchants (and, for that matter, the inmate's ability to read at all). But, being typically politely British (not to mention smitten with this particular prisoner), the major is embarassed by his own denigrating remark towards the "barbarous" Highlander even as he utters it.
