She is surprised by the question and thinks for a moment before she answers. "My Lord, Captain Logan was holding the back of his head and he stated that it felt like he was hit from behind by a brick. Lord Slade is a hearty and hale man but based on how far away the two men were from each other, if Lord Slade had inflicted the blow that so dazed his own Captain, I would be very surprised and very impressed.

If they were not, he is a fine actor. My belief is that he is at his Lord's side right now. It is where I would be if my Lady were in mortal danger."
