The Crushed Flower and Other Stories

CHAPTER III
11/11

He loves fools, traitors, liars.

You are a liar, Thomas; have you never been told so before ?" Thomas was much surprised, and wished to object, but he thought that Judas was simply railing, and so only shook his head in the darkness.

Go away, Thomas; go away, stupid! Leave the strong, bold, magnificent Judas alone!".
