"Are you able to talk?" "Yes, sir. A traitor to your foster-brother, who was your rival. It is because Maurice loved the woman who hates you that you act the unworthy part of defending his murderer." The three people turned and saw Dido, with an expression of triumph on her dark face, enter the room. "And I won't forget to let you know just when I'm ready to give in mine, so we both can see how they take it," said Elinor from the door..
