I have never in my life killed an animal, nor, to my knowledge, an insect; I love all life  animal life and vegetable life  everything that breathes and grows. Yet I am a Huguenot!  one of the race you hate and despise and are paid to exterminate. Assassin, I have spared you.

 Bertin, and the body lying over yonder is that of my wife, whom your crew barbarously murdered yesterday when they sacked this village. They took me with them, and it was your intention to have me tortured and then drowned as soon as you got to sea. Do you know me now?" Bonivon nodded--he could not have spoken to save his life. "Bien!" the minister went on. "I am a werwolf--I was bewitched some years ago by the woman Grénier, Mère Grénier, who lives in the forest at the back of our village. As soon as it was dark I metamorphosed; then the ship ran ashore, and every one leaped overboard. I saw you drowning. I saved you." The captain again made a fruitless effort to speak, and the Huguenot continued:-- "Why did I save you?--you, who had been instrumental in murdering my wife and ruining my home! Why? I do not know! Had I preferred for you a less pleasant death than drowning, I could have taken you ashore and killed you. Yet--I did not, because it is not in my nature to destroy anything. XPLAIN YOU ARE IN THE HOUSE OF ROLAND BERTIN AND THE BODY LYING OVER YONDER IS THAT OF MY WIFE WHOM YOUR CREW BARBAROUSLY MURDERED YESTERDAY WHEN THEY SACKED THIS VILLAGE THEY TOOK ME WITH THEM AND IT WAS YOUR INTENTION TO HAVE ME TORTURED AND THEN DROWNED AS SOON AS YOU GOT TO SEA DO YOU KNOW ME NOW BONIVAN NODDED HE COULD NOT HAVE SPOKEN TO SAVE HIS LIFE BEN THE MINISTER WENT ON I AM A WAREWOLF I WAS BEWITCHED SOME YEARS AGO BY THE WOMAN GRENIER MAYOR GRENNIER WHO LIVES IN THE FOREST AT THE BACK OF OUR VILLAGE AS SOON AS IT WAS DARK I METAMORPHOSISED THEN THE SHIP RAN ASHORE AND EVERYONE LEAPED OVERBOARD I SAW YOU DROWNING I SAVED YOU THE CAPTAIN AGAIN MADE A FRUITLESS EFFORT TO SPEAK AND THE HUGUENOT CONTINUED WHY DID I SAVE YOU YOU WHO HAD BEEN INSTRUMENTAL IN MURDERING MY WIFE AND RUINING MY HOME WHY I DO NOT KNOW HAD I PREFERRED FOR YOU A LESS PLEASANT DEATH THAN DROWNING I COULD HAVE TAKEN YOU ASHORE AND KILLED YOU YET I DID NOT BECAUSE IT IS NOT IN MY NATURE TO DESTROY ANYTHING
