WILLIAM.
"And he that killeth any man"—is that it?
FORESTER (profoundly moved, comes a step nearer).
No—but go on reading.
[He stands next to WILLIAM. During the following he involuntarily takes off his hat, and folds his hands.]
WILLIAM.
"And he that killeth any man shall surely be put to death. And he that killeth a beast shall make it good; beast for beast. And if a man cause a blemish on his neighbor; as he hath done, so shall it be done to him; breach for breach, eye for eye, tooth for tooth; as he hath caused a blemish in a man, so shall it be done to him again. And he that killeth a beast, he shall restore it: and he that killeth a man, he shall be put to death."
FORESTER.
He shall be put to death.
