Once again reality shimmered. Two changes occurred. One was that a large mirror appeared on the wall, perfectly placed to allow Sharon to view herself. She saw that, as well as still being very obese and heavily pregnant with twins, her scalp was now totally devoid of hair.
So that constituted a smiting? She recalled how the god of the Jews had supposedly smitten the Egyptians with boils and the like until they agreed to let His people go. This crazy god Nog'Miab clearly had the same sort of power to do whatever he liked to her. It seemed that she had no choice but to submit and marry him. However bad that might be, it couldn't be as bad as her current situation.
Too late, she recalled that he could read her mind, and was unlikely to view her thoughts as "showing him the respect that he deserved".
