"Oh no....", she faintly whispered. Then all of a sudden, her panic was back,
much worse than before. She stood up, looking bewildered in all directions.
"Are you allright, Claudia? Perhaps it's better to put off these glasses", the
stranger said, a bit worried.
Then Claudia exclaimed in medieval Dutch, her face all in horror:
"Oh no! The Spanish soldiers just beheaded our poor Lord Mayor!"
"Is that you, Allegonda?", the stranger asked.
"Yes, it's me. We surrendered to the Spanish army and they are now
executing all our leaders".
Then she cried out,
"Cowards! You betrayed us with your false promises!"
"Please be careful with what you are saying, Allegonda".
A loud order in Spanish was heard, followed by a scream:
"Oh no! I dropped my crystal veil.... Help! Help me!"
"I will send you another veil straightaway, dear Allegonda", the stranger replied.
