Chapter 50: Chat Between Brother and Sister


Summary
     I love how the title totally fits in with my favorite line from the last chapter. Lord de Winter informs Milady of all that he knows about her, including her fleur-de-lis, and tells her that she is not to leave the place, and if she tries to kill him or escape, she will be shot instantly. The man who transported her to the apartment, Mr. Felton, will be in charge of her. Milady is furious and despairing. She sinks into an armchair to reflect on her situation and think of a way out. Yep, that’s basically it!

Reaction
     Baby chapter! As I said last chapter, I hope Milady regains some of her power. It seems unnatural to see her outwitted and trapped. I’d rather her be the foreboding villain I am used to than this helpless prisoner. My favorite line is Lord de Winter’s sarcastic reply to Milady’s request for a female maid (obviously, she wants one to help her escape): “Cannot I serve you as a waiting maid?” That would be a pretty sight, no doubt!
