changed my entire relationship with
the man. l have never felt that Bren.

hard, stern, revengeful, yet have no
doubt under different circumstances
! might even have valued him highly
as a comrade or friend. There is
no demon like jealousy; and his early
distrust of me, fostered by that mad
disease had apparently warped his
entire nature. Yet not even for love
could I consent to leave my honor I'm.

words there could be no rest for me
until our differences were settled by
the stern arbitrament of the naked
blade. All prudence to the winds, no
