In "The Fiery Cross" by Diana Gabaldon, a character expresses a firm rejection of financial assistance offered by a woman. He speaks softly, indicating an intimate yet serious tone, emphasizing that neither he nor his family desires her money. This sentiment reflects a deeper pride and the importance of independence for him and his family.
He insists that even his son will not accept the money, reinforcing the message that their integrity and self-sufficiency take precedence over financial aid. His blunt response, "Cram it up your hole, aye?" conveys strong emotions while highlighting the tension between acceptance and pride in their circumstances.
