It is so great that Strang did not hesitate to throw me into jail on the pretext that I had threatened his life.

Marion implored him to spare me the disgrace of a public whipping and he replied by reading to her the commandments of the kingdom.

Strang is madly infatuated with her beauty and yet he dares to go to any length without fear of losing her.

She has become his slave.

She is as completely in his power as though bound in iron chains.
