"I am eating. All and all the time, I eat, Madame. But every time they bring me back to life, I am as I was in Paris, and I have to eat all over again. But that is okay; there is a lot of food here, and nobody minds what I take. It is not like Paris. Every time I feel hungry, I can have food in my belly in minutes. I like that."

She smiles briefly, self consciously hugging her slim waist. But then she's focusing on the door.

"Madame, wait here. I will not be long."

And she goes, leaving Parker to dress. Within minutes, she's back, clutching a golden door knob.

"Madame - we are rich. We can pay - pay for food in the arenas now."
