She had grown in strength and courage, but not so her companion, Joan, who had started her weary vigil with an almost cheerful gaiety, had sunk deeper and deeper into depression as the hours progressed, and Mirabelle woke to the sound of a woman's sobs, to find the girl sitting on the side of her bed, her head in her wet hands.
-"I hate this place!" she sobbed. "Why does he keep me here? God! If I thought the hound was double-crossing me.! I'll go mad if they keep me here any longer. I will, Leicester!" she screamed.
