Nailed it again! The heartbreaking trap Dillon is caught in, and the way the relationship with Aubrey is damaged - and Jack totally misses him after he dies. Not to mention the whole Cacfuego thing would have definitely reconciled Dillon to Jack's way of fighting :-)
And Jack is exactly a great big friendly puppy, and like most puppies he tries to interact with everyone else like they are also great big friendly puppies, and gets confused when he hurts them by accident, or they don't actually like being jumped on and pawed ;-)
The innuendos (well, more like outright statements!) to the ladies at the rout were from drunkenness and high spirits. In his sane moments he would now that was a Bit Not Good. The next morning he doesn't quite remember what he said but thinks it didn't do him any good :-)
POB is the master of working in the comedic moments. That's another aspect of his brilliance - the books aren't just action, or just drama, or just tragedy, or just romance, or just comedy, but all those things all wrapped up together. Like real life.
Jack up on the chair when the snake comes to say hi in Stephen's room! And Stephen so teasing to him! :D
