"You must think I'm pretty dumb." Howard commented. "You're not just a private citizen. The Party might have erased your past involvement with the revolution from the public record but men like me have seen copies. I've seen you brag about eating Miss Tomkin's black twat, Miss Fenn. I've seen you talk about feminism and lesbianism and all sorts of other criminal views. I don't have to listen to lies."

At that, two soldiers picked Dawn up from behind and inserted a ball gag into her mouth as well. Howard quickly gave them more orders. "Take Ms. Fenn and Ms. Butler to their holding cells. Let's let them settle in before we do more work on them. Have Ms. Walker join them as soon as she's done with her work. I want our little Jewish Princess and our Nubian Queen with me awhile longer."

Beatrice, still fully dressed if her scanty outfit could be described that way, and Dawn were marched further into the prison where, instead of cells, they were faced with what seemed to be large bird cages suspended from the ceiling. Both women were unbound before being forced inside their cages as they were. The doors were locked behind them and the women had to sit or kneel to fit. There were three empty cages there for their companions.
