In this excerpt from "Outlander" by Diana Gabaldon, a character expresses concern about a child’s well-being, questioning Jamie about what has happened. The inquiry suggests that there might be some disturbance or trouble involving the child, hinting at a potential accident or mishap.

However, Jamie's response reveals a different context; he humorously indicates that the child's situation stems from her having married him, implying that the union itself is the cause for concern. This playful exchange highlights the complexities of relationships and the misunderstandings that can arise from them.
