Butler. He must not live.
Gordon. And you can do the deed! [20]
Butler. Either you or I. This morning was his last.
Gordon. You would assassinate him.
Butler. 'Tis my purpose.
Gordon. Who leans with his whole confidence upon you!
Butler. Such is his evil destiny!
Gordon. Your General!
The sacred person of your General! [25]
Butler. My General he has been.
