"I will continue to observe your spiritual health and place the judgment of that disloyal thought in abeyance for now; the Queen's work is still solidifying into its new shape, and to punish unspoken thoughts, I suspect, might be especially dangerous to it.  Perhaps in a few more days we shall revisit the issue, especially if you find then that you are ashamed or feel that you have not been set right and made right."  Or sooner, if Sevar's thoughts show her to be dwelling on it in fear fantasy, but this of course Subirachs does not say out loud.
