She had bowed, hands folded, eyes down, only to start at the lash of something around her ankles, a stinging on her bare feet. She was staring down at a whip, coiled serpentlike around her feet, and the shock brought her eyes up to confront the snakelike stare in Ilze's eyes, covetous and cold.

"And if i have to answer," he had whispered, "so will you."

Screw you, I'm posting the *third* sentence. It'd be far too much of a shame to have to skip it.

"A number of years earlier, several vocalists had by chance died or gone mad after singing one or another Wagnerian role, given rise to a widespread notion that performing in Wagner's operas could cause death or insanity."
