JUST.
And for you sir, I hardly know you any longer. May I die before your
eyes, if you do not encourage this malicious, unfeeling wretch. In
spite of gallows, axe, and torture I could . . . yes, I could have
throttled him with these hands, and torn him to pieces with these
teeth!

MAJ. T.
You wild beast!

JUST.
Better a wild beast than such a man!

MAJ. T.
But what is it that you want?

JUST.
I want you to perceive how much he insults you.

MAJ. T.
And then--

JUST.
To take your revenge . . . No, the fellow is beneath your notice!

MAJ. T.
But to commission you to avenge me? That was my intention from the
first. He should not have seen me again, but have received the amount
of his bill from your hands. I know that you can throw down a handful
of money with a tolerably contemptuous mien.
