‘You had better bethink yourself.’
‘I have thought sufficiently, and I am decided.’
‘Recollect that, if you refuse, I shall be compelled to resort to force.’
‘I will die first.’
‘You will not have the means.’
‘Almighty God surely, will never suffer so black a deed.’
‘Bah!—that is all idle cant. Think, too, that if you refuse, you will still be kept here a prisoner, deprived of every comfort, and yet subservient to my wishes.’
‘Oh, horror! You cannot surely be the monster!’
‘I would not willingly, but you would drive me to it.’
‘Oh, repent, repent!’
