"To avenge myself openly, and tumble the castle into ruins by an

assault, I was ashamed, for they would have said that I was

avenging myself for my rejection! Warden, your honest heart

cannot feel what hell there is in wounded pride.

a bloody revenge, but to hide the reason for my vengeance; to

frequent the castle no more and to root out my love from my

heart; to dismiss Eva from my memory and to marry another; and

then later to find some pretext for a quarrel, and to take

vengeance.
