"Yueh! Yueh! Yueh!" goes the refrain. "A million deaths were not enough for
Yueh!"
-from "A Child's History of Muad'Dib" by the Princess Irulan
Jessica finds a disheveled Dr. Yueh looking out a window while Paul sleeps in the next room. We find that Yueh has been with the Atriedes for six years, long enough that Jessica thinks they may dispense with formalities in private. Yueh's thoughts reveal to us that his wife was a Bene Gesserit Truthsayer. They discuss the bleak conditions on Arrakis and its people. Yeuh wishes he could hate the Atreides instead of love them. Jessica reminds him of his wife, the Harkonnens may not have killed her yer, he has to be sure. He hopes his plans will give him a chance to strike at the Baron in his moment of gloating. While Jessica checks on Paul, Yueh wonders why Wanna never gave him any children. Jessica notes the darkness of the sky and Yueh points out that the lack of moisture is partly responsible. They discuss the mysterious lack of and dissapearance of moisture. Jessica is suprised at the hate in Yueh when he talkes about the Harkonnens. He starts to tell her about his wife but breaks down. They talk about the feud, how the Atreides are Royalty where the Harkonnen titles come from CHOAM. They talk about the spice and her relationship with the Duke. Jessica suspects he's hiding something but still has no clue to the treachery he has in store.
