MY LORD GAMBARA CLEARS THE GROUND.
I had angered her! Worse; I had exposed her to humiliation at the hands of that unworthy animal who soiled her in thought with the slime of his suspicions.

Through me she had been put to the shameful need of listening at a door, and had been subjected to the ignominy of being so discovered.

Through me she had been mocked and derided! It was all anguish to me.

For her there was no shame, no humiliation, no pain I would not suffer, and take joy in the suffering so that it be for her.
