<div align="center"><strong>Lady Catherine Montrose</strong></div><br/>Of course the Captians meaning was Crystal clear, not Bed and board, but bed<em><strong>for</strong></em>Board. It was pretty much as she expected. "And when we're not earning our passage, presumably we'll be chained up?"<br/><br/>Catherine's resignation was plain to see, there was no hope for either of them until the Captain became bored and either put them ashore or threw them to the sharks. She showed no emotion, having long since given up any chance of escape and knew she would have no choice but to play the captain's games. But she would do so with whatever honour and dignity she could muster and the captain's empty promise of release at the end of the journey did nothing to raise her spirits.<br/><br/><br/>
