But that's not all.
I held my tongue about you these eleven years past, I held it yesterday and saved your paltry life, and you'd repay me by stabbing me in the dark in a fine old-fashioned way too, with your trap-doors, and blown-out candle, and Italian tricks " He held the candle down near the white beard as though he would singe it.
