His face contorted in pain and humiliation. This was a public disgrace, a humiliation before his own family.
Rage surged through Alnod. He yearned to lash out, to strike back at Lowell, but he knew he was outmatched. He had to think, to find a way out of this predicament.
Lowell watched Alnod's reaction with a contemptuous sneer. He saw the desperation in his eyes, the feeble attempts to justify himself.
