Chapter 49: Fatality


Summary
     Aboard a ship heading for England, Milady grows very anxious about Athos’s threats and has an urge to return back to Paris in order to take revenge. However, she realizes that the cardinal would be furious with her, so she has no choice but to continue on. When she reaches England, a young man helps her into a boat and takes her quickly to shore. There, he kindly gets a carriage for her and takes her to the city. Milady does not really want his help, but the man is quite insistent, and she soon realizes that she is being kidnapped. She tries to shout for help but now the carriage has taken her to a lavish apartment. She demands to know why she is being taken prisoner and who the person behind this is. That person enters the chamber in which she has been placed. It is Lord de Winter! He says that she is his prisoner.

Reaction
     Well! As much as I am on the Fearsome Four’s side, it wasn’t very pleasant to see Milady outwitted and captured like that. My favorite line is Lord de Winter’s words to Milady, because they sound so sinister: “Let us sit down and chat quietly, as brother and sister ought to do.” DUN-DUN-DUN!
