Chapter 10

Post by Freakzilla »

What had the Lady Jessica to sustain her in her time of trial? Think you
carefully on this Bene Gesserit proverb and perhaps you will see: "Any road
followed precisely to its end leads precisely nowhere. Climb the mountain just a
little bit to test that it's a mountain. From the top of the mountain, you
cannot see the mountain."

-from "Muad'Dib: Family Commentaries" by the Princess Irulan

Jessica discovers a plant conservatory in the Arrakeen Mansion. There she finds a secret message left by Lady Margot Fenring. In it she warns of the attempt on Paul's life and that one of the Duke's trusted men plans treachery. Paul enters and shows his mother the smashed hunter-seeker which she tells him to submerge in the fountain to short it out. Paul tells her of the warning of a traitor Mapes gave him. She shows him the secret message from Lady Fenring. Paul wants to send a message to his father but Jessica warns that as few people as possible need to know of this and he should wait to tell him in person.
They were destroyed because they lied pretentiously. Have no fear that my wrath
will fall upon you because of your innocent mistakes.
