In the story, there is an underlying tension between two characters, which prompts one of them, Dougal, to explain his decision to invite Miss MacFarlane. He feels there is something significant between her and another character, something he wishes to avoid. Fiona, intrigued by Dougal's words, presses him for clarification but is met with resistance.

Determined to entice Dougal into revealing more, Fiona playfully offers to name her future child after him. Dougal raises an eyebrow, questioning the possibility, especially since it would not go over well with Jack. Fiona's playful banter indicates her firm intentions, proving she would indeed consider such a promise despite Dougal's skepticism.
