“And now,' said the unknown, 'farewell kindness,
humanity, and gratitude! Farewell to all the feelings that expand the
heart! I have been heaven's substitute to recompense the good - now the
god of vengeance yields to me his power to punish the wicked!”
At these words he gave a signal, and, as if only awaiting this signal, the yacht instantly put out to sea.―
Alexandre Dumas,
The Count of Monte Cristo
