"In that case, it is only a half evil."
"You know that I do not at all understand you?"
"Be content, Dominique, learn that you have not a lucky hand for a good deed."
"Because?"
"Because the man you have succored and on whom you lavished such devoted attentions, is your deadly enemy."
"This man my deadly enemy?" he exclaimed with an astonishment mingled with doubt; "But I do not know him any more than he knows me."
"You suppose so, my poor fellow; but be convinced that I am not deceived and am telling you the truth."
"It is strange."
"Yes, very strange, indeed, but it is so: this man is even your most dangerous foe."
