From page 56:

"It wasn't until I was in here, when I had all the time in the world, that I found out what you really were," she went on, her eyes hardening and her voice strengthening with conviction.  " I read book after book searching for an explanation for you.  In an old book on fairy tales, I found out what kind of parasite you truly are -- a changeling."

From page 56:

After the evening meal had been disposed of, and his immediate duties performed, Demetrius had stretched out on the ground in the shadow of the Commander's tent -- a quite imposing tent, larger than the others, trimmed with red flouncing, red silk curtains at the entrance and a canopy over the doorway supported by slanting spear-shafts.  With his fingers interlaced behind his head, Demetrius lay gazing up at the stars, marveling at their uncommon brightness, and effortlessly listening to the subdued voices of his master and Paulus, lounging in camp-chairs under the gaudy canopy.
