In Dune:

"But there's dirt caked on its horns."

"That's not dirt, Mapes. That's the blood of our Duke's father. Those horns

were sprayed with a transparent fixative within hours after this beast killed

the Old Duke."

Mapes stood up. "Ah, now!" she said.

Why did Mapes become so upset when she learned there was blood on the horns?

Obviously she thought it was a waste of the water!

Yes, but compared with the sietch, with all that sand, I don't think that little
bit of dirt would upset her. ;-)

What makes you think there was a lot of sand INSIDE the sietch?
Sheesh, they weren't animals, Tony.

Am I the only one that thinks fixing the blood of a man killed by a
bull on the horns is a bit disgusting? Mapes' reaction isn't strange
at all.
