Let's play for time and try to find out more about her and how loyal she is to her father.

(302) "I"m sorry," you reply, smiling. "I couldn't sleep, so I thought I would tire myself out a little bit by walking around the house. I"ve seen some very"¦interesting things." You watch her carefully, looking for some type of reaction, but she betrays no emotion. "Your father keeps some very interesting company," you state, sticking with the same tactic. "What do you think of it all?" "Oh, I don't make it a habit to interject myself in his affairs," she replies coolly. You think carefully about what you will say next. If she is as evil as her father, then clearly she is toying with you, like a cat that plays with its prey. On the other hand, it could be that she has taken you for one of her father's friends and doesn't want to risk revealing her true feelings. The only way to find out for sure is to be truthful about yourself (223). If you think this is too risky, you can simply excuse yourself and leave (363). Alternately, you can try something drastic - you may attack her and attempt to force her to divulge everything she knows. If you wish to do this, go to 152. |
The option to reveal our purpose is coming up again, maybe this is a favorable option, try it.
