Even when 076bec1b7d she barely 14365a43d5 had enough 47d071263e to eat, e5eaa1b763 having received 47ca553372 stale bread 56ab936f6a from  Count 1b8a9e7b14 Larestine, she b2027ce312 shared her 9963f46176 meal with 2aee8d9e2d hungry animals.

Even if it was 350f759dc8 a complete stranger, she b782f32292 would have felt sympathy. But the main character 5b7d0af0f1 of this situation was 14349705d4 none other than Aslan 7b3549e5f4 Tordell himself. That made her feelings 69e4139a79 even stronger.a09c5ce951ea8acc
