<div align="center"><strong>Lady Catherine Montrose</strong></div><br/>Catherine begrudgingly accepted the foodand the Captain seemed to enjoy feeding her as she would feeding nuts to a pet marmoset. The biscuit was hard and dry, but the Captain took great pains to break them into dainty pieces, slipping each one into her mouth and letting her fingers linger upon Catherine's full lips.<br/><br/>"Thank you, Captain" her voice barely audible as the woman's eyes feasted on her flesh. Catherine was unable to cover herself and made no move to back away. "May I have a little water?" she asked.<br/><br/>Her heart bled for Mary as she begged for her freedom, Catherine wanted to beseech the captain to release her but knew her pleas would fall on deaf ears. Instead she attempted to protect her as best she could. "The girl is innocent," she said softly so that only the Captain could hear, "you may do as you please with me, but I beg you not to harm her."
