Her honor will come to no harm at my hands, Jack said.'Tis not her honor but her tender heart that I worry about, Alexander said.She's a delicate lass, Hugh added.Aye, said Gregor.

Jack expresses his concern for the honor of Fiona, a lady admired by his friends, suggesting that he won't harm her reputation. However, Alexander points out that his real worry is Fiona's emotional well-being since she is sensitive and fragile. Hugh and Gregor also refer to her as a delicate flower, highlighting her vulnerability.

Jack reveals a contrasting experience, stating that Fiona's actions—specifically ambushing and forcing him into marriage—have contradicted her delicate image. Dougal adds a smirk, noting that Fiona possesses a fierce temper, suggesting that she is not as gentle as her friends believe.

People pontificate, "Suicide is selfishness." Career churchmen like Pater go a step further and call in a cowardly assault on the living. Oafs argue this specious line for varying reason: to evade fingers of blame, to impress one's audience with one's mental fiber, to vent anger, or just because one lacks the necessary suffering to sympathize. Cowardice is nothing to do with it - suicide takes considerable courage. Japanese have the right idea. No, what's selfish is to demand another to endure an intolerable existence, just to spare families, friends, and enemies a bit of soul-searching.
