Anatomy definition: the muscle surrounding each eye that is responsible for closing the eyelids.
Outlander definition: the muscles closing Jamie’s eyelids whenever he conjures randy thoughts about Claire…..whinny and snort!
Learn about orbicularis oculi muscles in “Anatomy Lesson #11, “Jamie’s Face” or “Ye do it Face to Face?” and Anatomy Lesson #31 “An Eye for an Eye – The Eye Part 3!”
Hee, hee! Read about Jamie’s attempts to wink at Claire with his orbicularis oculi muscles in Outlander book:
“That’s not precisely what I had in mind.” Jamie, I had found out by accident a few days previously, had never mastered the art of winking one eye. Instead, he blinked solemnly, like a large red owl. “And just what did you have in mind?” I inquired. My suspicious look met an innocent, childlike gaze of blue. “I was just wondering what you’d look like … on the grass … under the trees … by the water … with your skirts up around your ears.”
See Jamie “wink and blink” in Starz, episode 106, The Wedding!
