"No... no it was my fault." *He insisted. Frollo had said it was his fault, and therefore it was.* "Judge Frollo warned me, and I disobeyed him. I got what I deserved."

"Quasimodo, can I show you something?"

*He looked startled for a moment. Startled, but not afraid. He'd been under the impression that nobody from the outside world was anything but ordinary. He didn't withdraw, but he cocked his head curiously.*
