However, although that possibility had been contemplated, it was but briefly; much too dangerous; and Karl had to console himself that she 'd confide in Treloar, what had been done to her, which would possibly even add further to the shame and embarrassment of the situation she now found herself in, having to relive it with the man she loved, or that Alexandra would hide it from Treloar, and never admit it; keeping the events of that day to herself, and being forced to live with the shameful secret.
