1 I recollected my threat and resolved that it should be accomplished.
2 If the monster executed his threat, death was inevitable; yet, again, I considered whether my marriage would hasten my fate.
3 Your threats cannot move me to do an act of wickedness; but they confirm me in a determination of not creating you a companion in vice.
4 The idea of renewing my labours did not for one instant occur to me; the threat I had heard weighed on my thoughts, but I did not reflect that a voluntary act of mine could avert it.
