The Unseen: "Gautran entered unobserved."

The Advocate: "That is apparent, or he would not be lying here with the hand of Fate above him."

The Unseen: "No person saw him--no person is aware that he is in your study, at your mercy."

The Advocate: "At my mercy! You could have found a better word to express your meaning."

The Unseen: "You know him to be a murderer."

The Advocate: "True."

The Unseen: "He deserves death! You have already heard the whisperings of the voice which urged you to fulfil the divine law, Blood for blood!"

The Advocate: "Speak not of what is Divine. Tempter, have you not the courage to come straight to the point?"

The Unseen: "Kill him where he lies! He will not be missed. It is night--black night. Every living being in the house, with the exception of yourself, is asleep. You have twisted justice from its rightful course. The wrong you did you can repair. Kill him where he lies!"

The Advocate: "And have the crime of murder upon my soul?"
