Well, gentlemen, I was standing with her just inside the window, in all innocence, as God is my judge, when he rushed like a madman into the room, called her the vilest name that a man could use to a woman, and welted her across the face with the stick he had in his hand. WELL GENTLEMEN I WAS STANDING WITH HER JUST INSIDE THE WINDOW IN ALL INNOCENCE AS GOD IS MY JUDGE WHEN HE RUSHED LIKE A MADMAN INTO THE ROOM CALLED HER THE VIOLEST NAME A MAN COULD USE TO A WOMAN AND WELTED HER ACROSS THE FACE WITH THE STICK HE HAD IN HIS HAND
ove me mad. This drunken hound, that he should dare to raise his hand to her, whose boots he was not worthy to lick! I met Theresa again. Then I met Mary herself--and met her again. Then she would meet me no more. But the other day I had a notice that I was to start on my voyage within a week, and I determined that I would see her once before I left. Theresa was always my friend, for she loved Mary and hated this villain almost as much as I did. From her I learned the ways of the house. Mary used to sit up reading in her own little room downstairs. I crept round there last night and scratched at the window. At first she would not open to me, but in her heart I know that now she loves me, and she could not leave me in the frosty night. She whispered to me to come round to the big front window, and I found it open before me, so as to let me into the dining-room. Again I heard from her own lips things that made my blood boil, and again I cursed this brute who mishandled the woman I loved. RYTHING I TELL YOU GENTLEMEN IT NEARLY DROVE ME MAD THIS DRUNKEN HOUND THAT HE SHOULD DARE TO RAISE HIS HAND TO HER WHOSE BOOTS HE WAS NOT WORTHY TO LICK I MET TERESA AGAIN THEN I MET MARY HERSELF AND MET HER AGAIN THEN SHE WOULD MEET ME NO MORE BUT THE OTHER DAY I HAD A NOTICE THAT I WAS TO START MY VOYAGE WITHIN A WEEK AND I DETERMINED I WOULD SEE HER ONCE BEFORE I LEFT TERESA WAS ALWAYS MY FRIEND FOR SHE LOVED MARIAN HATED THIS VILLAIN ALMOST AS MUCH AS I DID FROM HER I LEARNED THE WAYS OF THE HOUSE MARY USED TO SIT UP READING IN HER OWN LITTLE ROOM DOWNSTAIRS I CREPT ROUND THERE LAST NIGHT SCRATCH AT THE WINDOW AT FIRST SHE WOULD NOT OPEN TO ME BUT IN HER HEART I KNOW THAT NOW SHE LOVES ME AND SHE COULD NOT LEAVE ME IN THE FROSTY NIGHT SHE WHISPERED TO ME TO COME ROUND TO THE BIG FRONT WINDOW AND I FOUND IT OPEN BEFORE ME SO AS TO LET ME INTO THE DINING ROOM AGAIN I HEARD FROM HER OWN LIPS THINGS THAT MADE MY BLOOD BOIL AND AGAIN I CURSED THIS BRUTE WHO MISHANDLED THE WOMAN I LOVED
