Jamie decides to allow Claire to volunteer at L’Hôpital des Anges so she does not have extra time to remove all her body hair; he’s uncomfortable with the thought of Claire without pubic hair. Claire diagnosis a sick woman with diabetes. The woman who runs the hospital, Mother Hildegarde, is impressed by Claire. Claire becomes a regular at the hospital, helping as much as she can, even becoming friendly with Mother Hildegarde’s infection sniffing dog.
Claire arrives home one afternoon to discover Jamie entertaining a young boy. He tells Claire a story of how he was chased through the docks by two sailors who intended to kill him. To escape, Jamie went into a brothel where he met the boy, Fergus. Jamie has hired Fergus as a pickpocket with the intention of having him steal correspondence from Charles Stuart’s home so he can monitor Charles’s progress on planning the Jacobite Uprising.
