    Summary

    "Mama's dying!" Paul's entire body heaved as he sobbed. "She's been poisoned!"

    Poison? When would she have been poisoned? A trained Sister of the Bene Gesserit could identify a poison within her body, slow her metabolism to stymie its effects, and then neutralize it—all within seconds! All without anyone else knowing what had occurred! She would teach the skill to Paul when he was old enough. But his statement now bewildered her just as much as it clearly bewildered Leto, who gave her a searching look, as though attempting to see if there were truly toxins flowing in her bloodstream.

    Jessica cupped either side of Paul's face with her hands. "I haven't been poisoned, Paul. I'm perfectly fine! Look at me—don't I seem well?"

    Their son rubbed at his eyes with a chubby fist. "But you—you ate the blackberries without testing them with the poison-snooper."

    Summary

    "I would like to have a picnic in the gardens," Paul declared. 

    Jessica said, "Well, of course we can have a picnic."

    With a child's forthrightness, her son shook his head, his dark curls bouncing, and replied, "No, Mother. I would like to have a picnic by myself."

    "Oh! I see!" She was unexpectedly stung by this small rejection. Her son was not too old to ask to be carried here and there, or to be tucked into bed, but lately he had become more independent in other ways. This was clearly one such way. "Yes, that can be arranged."

    Summary

    "What do you exist for?" Leto asks, voice low as he looks down at her, keeping their bodies together and their faces close.

    "I exist to serve." Jessica answers, her thoughts so far away from her sisterhood and where that phrase belongs in her life as her body hums with desire.
