LADY ROXANNE (Casts a wan smile on Eliza and Verloren) "I shall be glad to clean up and get on some decent clothing, but, first, brother, you must know that the vile beasts have been systematically abusing me. A captive of such should expect such treatment, and I would have killed myself if they had not knocked me unconscious and deprived me of the means. But, I feel this was more than just beastly lust. They would always go in that alcove over there, first, and come out with a determined look on their faces, then open my cell and do their worst. I wish that you would look into that. I fear there is some dire plan afoot, and fear more that I may be pregnant with some half-beast."
