what a mind you have, Desfoso!"

"Do you pay attention to them, Abbot?" asked Haggart.

"Yes, I do, Haggart. And it wouldn't do you any harm to pay attention
to them. The devil is prouder than you, and yet he is only the devil,
and nothing more."

Desfoso affirms:

"What's the use of pride? Pride isn't necessary."

He turns to Haggart, his eyes still lowered; then he lifts his eyes
and asks:

"Gart! But you don't need to kill anybody else. Excepting Philipp,
you don't feel like killing anybody else, do you?"

"No."

"Only Philipp, and no more? Do you hear? Only Philipp, and no
more. And another question--Gart, don't you want to send away this
man, Khorre? We would like you to do it. Who knows him? People say
that all this trouble comes through him."

Several voices are heard:

"Through him. Send him away, Gart! It will be better for him!"

The abbot upholds them.
