The Count and Lady Fenring

They're a good match.

“She sought to divert him, lowered her hands and said: ‘We’ll find a place among the Fremen?’ ‘The Fremen have a saying they credit to Shai-hulud, Old Father Eternity,’ he said. ‘They say: “Be prepared to appreciate what you meet.”’ And he thought: Yes, mother mine – among the Fremen.
