Last week you threatened me with your cane! On Tuesday last you threw a wine-decanter at me, which hit the butler, it is true, but the intention was evident.

This morning, in the presence of all the servants, you called me by the most vile, abominable name, which heaven forbid I should repeat! You dismissed me from your house under a false accusation.

You sent me to this odious convent to be immured for life.

Be it so! I will not come back, because, forsooth; you relent.

Anything is better than a residence with a wicked, coarse, violent, intoxicated, brutal monster like yourself.
