“So you do not deny beating your wife and your children?” Aragorn demanded of the prisoner.
“No, they began to eat before I had my fill,” the man replied. “They deserved all they got!”
“Then you must pay the price!” Aragorn was unable to conceal his anger. “You will be flogged then exiled from the City forever. Take him away!”
