Here's a weird notion: Muriel has fantasies about being of higher station than she is. She's in her room playing at being Linduial, small mirror in hand, acting the royal. Deren, who has never seen Linduial before (am I right on that?), takes immeidate action upon finding her play-acting, and her protests get abruptly ended with a hand over the mouth. Deren and/or his men figure that she's probably hysterical from her ordeal and don't want her screaming and drawing attention. Plausible?
