Charlotte stays on the floor, not looking up from
Her place of weariness and supplication.

"Children are taken in the night. With silence, with violence, with pain. They are taken to be acceptable losses, unwilling sacrifice. He who would stop the Others from claiming children's lives does so by claiming children's lives, and sees not his crime. We bring to one who would stand and stop this the intensity to be seen, respected, acknowledged and feared so her voice may ring with authority and her hand – stayed or swinging – be just."
