Hark you! you have done that to-night for which I am almost tempted to put this dagger into your heart, woman as you are! You have come between me and my victim--between me and my enemy.

I had summed up all my wrongs, intending their settlement to-night.

You have thwarted all my hopes--you have defrauded me of all my anticipations.

What is it prevents me from putting you to death on the spot?
Nothing.

I have no fears, no loves, to hold and keep me back.
