You, who so well know the nature of my soul, will not suppose, however, that I gave utterance to a threat. At length I would be avenged; this was a point definitively settled - but the very definitiveness with which it was resolved precluded the idea of risk.

It is equally unredressed when the avenger fails to make himself felt as such to him who has done the wrong.
