I
started
forward
and
exclaimed
,
"
Villain
!
Before
you
sign
my
death-warrant
,
be
sure
that
you
are
yourself
safe
.
"
I
would
have
seized
him
,
but
he
eluded
me
and
quitted
the
house
with
precipitation
.
In
a
few
moments
I
saw
him
in
his
boat
,
which
shot
across
the
waters
with
an
arrowy
swiftness
and
was
soon
lost
amidst
the
waves
.
All
was
again
silent
,
but
his
words
rang
in
my
ears
.
I
burned
with
rage
to
pursue
the
murderer
of
my
peace
and
precipitate
him
into
the
ocean
.
I
walked
up
and
down
my
room
hastily
and
perturbed
,
while
my
imagination
conjured
up
a
thousand
images
to
torment
and
sting
me
.
Why
had
I
not
followed
him
and
closed
with
him
in
mortal
strife
?
But
I
had
suffered
him
to
depart
,
and
he
had
directed
his
course
towards
the
mainland
.
I
shuddered
to
think
who
might
be
the
next
victim
sacrificed
to
his
insatiate
revenge
.
And
then
I
thought
again
of
his
words
--
"
I
WILL
BE
WITH
YOU
ON
YOUR
WEDDING-NIGHT
.
"
That
,
then
,
was
the
period
fixed
for
the
fulfillment
of
my
destiny
.
In
that
hour
I
should
die
and
at
once
satisfy
and
extinguish
his
malice
.
The
prospect
did
not
move
me
to
fear
;
yet
when
I
thought
of
my
beloved
Elizabeth
,
of
her
tears
and
endless
sorrow
,
when
she
should
find
her
lover
so
barbarously
snatched
from
her
,
tears
,
the
first
I
had
shed
for
many
months
,
streamed
from
my
eyes
,
and
I
resolved
not
to
fall
before
my
enemy
without
a
bitter
struggle
.
The
night
passed
away
,
and
the
sun
rose
from
the
ocean
;
my
feelings
became
calmer
,
if
it
may
be
called
calmness
when
the
violence
of
rage
sinks
into
the
depths
of
despair
.
I
left
the
house
,
the
horrid
scene
of
the
last
night
's
contention
,
and
walked
on
the
beach
of
the
sea
,
which
I
almost
regarded
as
an
insuperable
barrier
between
me
and
my
fellow
creatures
;
nay
,
a
wish
that
such
should
prove
the
fact
stole
across
me
.
I
desired
that
I
might
pass
my
life
on
that
barren
rock
,
wearily
,
it
is
true
,
but
uninterrupted
by
any
sudden
shock
of
misery
.
If
I
returned
,
it
was
to
be
sacrificed
or
to
see
those
whom
I
most
loved
die
under
the
grasp
of
a
daemon
whom
I
had
myself
created
.
I
walked
about
the
isle
like
a
restless
spectre
,
separated
from
all
it
loved
and
miserable
in
the
separation
.
When
it
became
noon
,
and
the
sun
rose
higher
,
I
lay
down
on
the
grass
and
was
overpowered
by
a
deep
sleep
.
I
had
been
awake
the
whole
of
the
preceding
night
,
my
nerves
were
agitated
,
and
my
eyes
inflamed
by
watching
and
misery
.
The
sleep
into
which
I
now
sank
refreshed
me
;
and
when
I
awoke
,
I
again
felt
as
if
I
belonged
to
a
race
of
human
beings
like
myself
,
and
I
began
to
reflect
upon
what
had
passed
with
greater
composure
;
yet
still
the
words
of
the
fiend
rang
in
my
ears
like
a
death-knell
;
they
appeared
like
a
dream
,
yet
distinct
and
oppressive
as
a
reality
.
The
sun
had
far
descended
,
and
I
still
sat
on
the
shore
,
satisfying
my
appetite
,
which
had
become
ravenous
,
with
an
oaten
cake
,
when
I
saw
a
fishing-boat
land
close
to
me
,
and
one
of
the
men
brought
me
a
packet
;
it
contained
letters
from
Geneva
,
and
one
from
Clerval
entreating
me
to
join
him
.
He
said
that
he
was
wearing
away
his
time
fruitlessly
where
he
was
,
that
letters
from
the
friends
he
had
formed
in
London
desired
his
return
to
complete
the
negotiation
they
had
entered
into
for
his
Indian
enterprise
.
He
could
not
any
longer
delay
his
departure
;
but
as
his
journey
to
London
might
be
followed
,
even
sooner
than
he
now
conjectured
,
by
his
longer
voyage
,
he
entreated
me
to
bestow
as
much
of
my
society
on
him
as
I
could
spare
.
He
besought
me
,
therefore
,
to
leave
my
solitary
isle
and
to
meet
him
at
Perth
,
that
we
might
proceed
southwards
together
.
This
letter
in
a
degree
recalled
me
to
life
,
and
I
determined
to
quit
my
island
at
the
expiration
of
two
days
.
Yet
,
before
I
departed
,
there
was
a
task
to
perform
,
on
which
I
shuddered
to
reflect
;
I
must
pack
up
my
chemical
instruments
,
and
for
that
purpose
I
must
enter
the
room
which
had
been
the
scene
of
my
odious
work
,
and
I
must
handle
those
utensils
the
sight
of
which
was
sickening
to
me
.
The
next
morning
,
at
daybreak
,
I
summoned
sufficient
courage
and
unlocked
the
door
of
my
laboratory
.
The
remains
of
the
half-finished
creature
,
whom
I
had
destroyed
,
lay
scattered
on
the
floor
,
and
I
almost
felt
as
if
I
had
mangled
the
living
flesh
of
a
human
being
.
I
paused
to
collect
myself
and
then
entered
the
chamber
.
With
trembling
hand
I
conveyed
the
instruments
out
of
the
room
,
but
I
reflected
that
I
ought
not
to
leave
the
relics
of
my
work
to
excite
the
horror
and
suspicion
of
the
peasants
;
and
I
accordingly
put
them
into
a
basket
,
with
a
great
quantity
of
stones
,
and
laying
them
up
,
determined
to
throw
them
into
the
sea
that
very
night
;
and
in
the
meantime
I
sat
upon
the
beach
,
employed
in
cleaning
and
arranging
my
chemical
apparatus
.
