ELIS. A faithless—
LINDKVIST. Faithless—yes, but a friend, as I said. This faithless friend has unwittingly done you a great service.
ELIS [Sneeringly]. Even that.
LINDKVIST. [Moving nearer to Elis]. As ye sow, so shall ye reap!
ELIS. It's not true of evil.
LINDKVIST. It's true of everything in life. Do you believe me?
ELIS. I must, or else you will torture the life out of me.
LINDKVIST. Not your life—but pride and malice I will squeeze out of you.
ELIS. But to continue—
LINDKVIST. Peter has done you a service, I said.
