The following quote is taken from Dragonfly In Amber by Diana Gabaldon, chapter 43 “Falkirk”. Copyright (c) 1992 by Diana Gabaldon. All

  ” ”Weel, grieve for me and ye will, Dougal,” he said, when he’d finished.
“And I’m glad for it. But ye canna grieve ‘til I be deid, can ye? I would die by
your hand, mo caraidh, not in the hands of the strangers.”
  Dougal jerked, and Jamie and I exchanged appalled glances behind his back.
  ”Rupert . . .” Dougal began helplessly, but Rupert interrupted him,
clasping his hand and shaking it gently.
  ”You are my chief, man, and it’s your duty,” he whispered. “Come now.
Do it now. This dying hurts me, Dougal, and I would have it over.” “

[> There is nothing more important, for a friend to do for another, then what Dougal does here. Dougal may not be very honorable to Jamie, but his honor to Rupert, his dearest friend, is never more important then when he helps Rupert through his dying. Thanks everyone for sharing my week of friends, I count you all as my friends and that makes me happy. -- LisaW, 23:19:05 03/09/12 Fri
