3 I was benevolent and good; misery made me a fiend.
4 In the meantime I took every precaution to defend my person in case the fiend should openly attack me.
5 You are in the wrong," replied the fiend; "and instead of threatening, I am content to reason with you.
6 Sometimes I thought that the fiend followed me and might expedite my remissness by murdering my companion.
7 The murderous mark of the fiend's grasp was on her neck, and the breath had ceased to issue from her lips.
8 I feared the vengeance of the disappointed fiend, yet I was unable to overcome my repugnance to the task which was enjoined me.
