Forgiveness was not forthcoming simply because someone asked for it. He knew Kahlan, and he knew that she expected as much from others as she expected from herself. It was different to be helpless and have no means to fight back it was a different sort of fear. She had often been afraid in battle, but at least then she could fight with all her strength to survive. Kahlan envisioned a grinning, toothless Tommy Lancaster leaning over her to cut her throat while all she could do was stare helplessly up at him. It was unnerving to contemplate an attack by such men when she could do nothing but lie there waiting to be killed. The President has given me authority to react to any attack.
