Claudia seemed withdrawn for a few moments. Then all of a sudden, she spoke in the
same strange dialect which the stranger now presumed to be medieval Dutch:
"Is that you, Lord Lentilux?"
"Yes, it's me again, Allegonda".
"Who is this Claudia you were talking to?"
"She is connecting us, I beleive. She is trying out some of my spectacles, or crystal veils
as you call them. Where are you now?"
"Our Lord Mayor wished to see me as I am among the very few people in town who
speak Spanish. He wants me to negotiate with the commander of the Spanish troops".
"Please tell me about the situation in town if you can"
"It's getting more and more desperate. There is no more food. People are starving.
We are eating all the rats we can catch".
