Jerott's hand increased its grip on her arm. 'He is an island with all its bridges wantonly severed. What hostage to evil,' said Jerott, poetic in his thumping displeasure, 'will this night's business conceive?' 'I don't know. But they're both nice and clean, if that's anything,' said Philippa. And led the way philosophically down.
Jerott tightly grasped Philippa's arm, describing a prince as an isolated island with all connections cut off, questioning what evil nature could come from their actions. His poetic frustration highlighted his disapproval of the dangerous situation they faced. Philippa, more practical, acknowledged that both parties looked presentable, indicating a focus on superficial appearances despite the tense circumstances.
"What hostage to evil," Jerott lamented about the destructive severance, implying the threat posed by their enemies. Philippa, meanwhile, maintained a calm, philosophical outlook, leading him onward with a sense of acceptance or perhaps resignation to their uncertain fate. Their contrasting reactions reflect their characters amid the perilous situation they face.
