[210]
He never spoke, he never uttered a word of that
speech; none of you heard it; he only vented idle menaces. The reason is that he
was conscious of guilt; he cowered like a slave before those words; his thoughts
did not approach them but recoiled from them, arrested by his evil conscience.
Mere vague invective and abuse there was no one to stop.
