"Hath any here killed a father? How wast done?"
Which hopefully is a disconcerting question in its own right, but Magdalen is going through one of her worst periods of sleeplessness, and her eyes are so bruised it looks like she's been slapped in the face; even her haughty carriage can't disguise the fact that she's tiny and looks like she's on the verge of collapse.
(She's still having her father's dreams, and she's pretty much hit her breaking point.)
