Pray don't hold back, Robert said politely. You can tell me what you really think of my valet. Stewart broke in to a reluctant grin.Sorry fer bein' so forward, sir, but that valet o' yers is nothin' but a Frenchified piece o' lace.

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.
