The Road to Dune contains a number of draft versions of scenes from Dune and Dune Messiah. Many of these are very short, sometimes only a few paragraphs, but they still provide interesting insights into Frank Herbert’s writing process.

This excerpt probably comes from an early draft of the second chapter of Dune — I’ve left the formatting as it appears in The Road to Dune, so it apparently picks up in the middle of a conversation between the Baron and Piter de Vries. Here ya go.

You say I’ve not seen death,” Piter said. “You are so wrong. Once, I saw a woman die. She fell from the third balcony of our home into the courtyard where I was playing. I was only five, but I can still recall that I thought she looked like an odd green sack as she fell. She was wearing green, you see.”

The Baron, noting the odd change in Piter’s manner, said: “Many women do, Piter. Women die every day.”

“This one was my mother,” Piter said. “Oh, it meant little to me at the time. She was merely one of the many concubines around the palace. It was only on reflection years later that I drew significance from the event.”

“Ahhhh,” said the Baron, “and what was that significance?”

“The person falling is already dead,” Piter said. “The falling and the death are thoroughly anticlimactic. The event of true importance is the instant of toppling—then you can push or rescue the person about to fall. You control destiny.”

The Baron scowled, wondering: Does this fool threaten me? Is he saying he could oppose me in the matter of the Duke?

“Then what of Duke Leto?” the Baron asked. “Could there be a change in his destiny?”

“Baron, that you should ask!” Piter said. “The Duke … ah, the Duke—he is already falling. An event of total unimportance, the Duke.”
